Innovative Today, Transform Tomorrow
Programmers & Ethical Hackersbuilding secure, intelligentsoftware.
Dexter Cyberlab is an Abuja-based research centre. We protect businesses from threats, automate what slows them down, and build the software they need to grow — all from one integrated team.
One firm. Five specialisms.
Security and software under one roof — so your defences and your products are built by people who understand both.
Cybersecurity
24/7 threat detection, vulnerability management, and compliance readiness — so you face auditors and adversaries with equal confidence.
Penetration Testing
We think like attackers so you can defend like experts. Every finding is manually verified, plainly explained, and followed by a free re-test.
AI & Automation
From RAG pipelines to intelligent document processing — we get AI out of the pilot stage and into production, where it earns its keep.
Software Development
Discovery to deployment in tight sprints. We ship well-tested, well-documented software that your team can own and iterate on from day one.
Cloud
AWS, GCP, or Azure — architected for high availability, hardened by default, and managed so your engineers can focus on product, not plumbing.
Dexter Cyberlab Studio
From idea to clickable UI concept in minutes — not weeks.
Describe your product in plain English. The Studio turns it into a full, interactive UI/UX concept you can walk through, share with investors, and hand straight to developers.
Describe it
Answer a few guided questions about what you’re building — no design jargon, no wireframing skills needed.
AI builds the concept
The Studio generates screens, user flows, and component layouts — tailored to your idea, not a generic template.

We Build Your App. You Own It.
Submit your idea. If it qualifies, Dexter Cyberlab designs, engineers, and launches it — in exchange for a startup fee, monthly hosting, and an optional equity stake.
Startup Fee
A fixed one-time fee covers discovery, prototyping, and the full delivery plan. You know what you’re paying before a single line of production code is written.
Monthly Hosting
A flat monthly fee keeps your product online, patched, monitored, and improving after launch. No surprise infrastructure bills, ever.
Equity Option
For the right ventures, we co-invest our expertise for a small equity stake. We only offer this when we genuinely believe in the business.
Discovery
A focused workshop where we map your goals, users, and constraints — then lock down scope, success metrics, and a realistic delivery plan before any code is written.
Design
Our team produces wireframes and an interactive prototype. You review and approve the full experience before a line of production code is committed.
Build
Engineers ship working software in two-week sprints. You attend every review, catch issues early, and the product evolves based on what you actually see — not guesses.
Launch
We deploy to a production-grade environment with monitoring in place, hand over clear documentation, and stay on retainer so you are never flying solo post-launch.
Security mindset. Builder discipline.
Certified ethical hackers, AI engineers, and seasoned software developers under one roof — so your defences are built by people who also understand what they’re protecting.

Research Centre
Evidence before advice
Our in-house research team tracks threat actors, AI model developments, and evolving cloud-attack patterns — continuously, not just at proposal time. Every recommendation we make is grounded in current intelligence, not recycled vendor guidance. You get advice that’s ahead of the curve, not catching up to it.
Ethical Hacking
Attack first. Defend better.
Our penetration testers think and act like real adversaries — because a defensive strategy built on assumptions is not a strategy. Every finding is manually verified, reported in plain language your board can act on, and followed by a debrief with your engineering team so knowledge transfers alongside the report.
Four phases. No surprises.
Every engagement follows the same four-step rhythm: assess the situation honestly, build the right thing, secure it before it ships, and support it after it launches.
-
Assess
We audit your infrastructure, codebase, and processes to establish an honest baseline. No padding, no filler — just a clear map of where the real risks and opportunities sit.
-
Build
Our cross-functional team designs and engineers in two-week sprints with a client review gate at every checkpoint. You see working software early and often — not a big reveal at the end.
-
Secure
Our ethical hackers test every product before it ships. Security is engineered in from the start — not bolted on as an afterthought when it is already expensive to fix.
-
Support
After launch you have a named point of contact, proactive monitoring, and a defined incident-response process. When something breaks, you already know who to call.
What our clients say
We measure success by outcomes, not deliverables. Here is what that looks like in practice.
Dexter Cyberlab ran a penetration test on our web platform and found a critical authentication bypass we had no idea existed. The remediation guidance was so clear our developers had it patched within the same week. The re-test confirmed it was genuinely fixed.
A.O.
Chief Technology Officer, A fintech platform (West Africa)
We engaged Dexter Cyberlab to migrate our on-premises infrastructure to AWS. The project landed on time, under the agreed budget, and our uptime has been solid since go-live. They handed over proper runbooks — not just a working system.
E.D.
Head of IT Operations, A logistics group (Nigeria)
The AI automation pipeline they built for our document-processing team cut manual review time by more than 70%. What stood out was how involved they stayed after delivery — they made sure the system kept working, not just that it had been built.
F.A.
Director of Operations, A healthcare organisation (Abuja)
Dexter Cyberlab built our customer portal from scratch in 12 weeks — clean UI, solid code, and a CI/CD pipeline so our own team can ship updates without calling them. That handover quality is rare.

Common questions
The things people ask before they get in touch. If yours isn’t here, ask us directly.
How does a consultation work, and what does it cost?
How fast can you typically start, and how long do engagements run?
Do you offer ongoing support after a project completes?
Do you only do cybersecurity, or do you also build software?
Are you based in Nigeria? Do you work with clients outside Nigeria?
How do you handle data security and client confidentiality?
