Case Study: Banco PAN achieves optimized security controls and 25% reduction in SecOps tasks with Cymulate

Banco PAN Optimizes Security Controls and Validates Group Policy Objects with Cymulate

Banco PAN, a mid‑size Brazilian commercial bank (1k–5k employees), needed more visibility into how its security controls were actually performing beyond external risk ratings, manual pen tests, and a vulnerability management tool. The bank sought a platform that could deliver a comprehensive risk score, continuous control validation, realistic simulated attacks (including lateral movement), and up‑to‑date threat assessments. Banco PAN selected Cymulate and its security validation capabilities—including breach and attack simulation and the automated network pen testing Hopper—to address these gaps.

Cymulate provided customizable attack simulations, real‑time insights, and integrations with Banco PAN’s EDR and vulnerability management, enabling continuous validation and automated re‑testing of controls and group policy objects. The solution let the security team benchmark and report a risk score to the Brazilian Central Bank, prioritize exploitable vulnerabilities, and use remediation guidance to fine‑tune controls—yielding measurable outcomes such as a 25% reduction in manual SecOps tasks, faster remediation cycles, and near‑real‑time feedback for ongoing optimization.
