Case Study: Leading FinTech Organization achieves automated PCI‑DSS security testing and continuous control validation with Cymulate

Fintech Organization Automates Security Testing for PCI-DSS with Cymulate

Leading FinTech Organization, a payments processor with about 2,000 employees across three regions, needed continuous validation of its security controls to maintain PCI‑DSS compliance and protect customer payment infrastructure. Its security tools and infrastructure team managed more than 18 security tools but lacked the resources for ongoing manual validation, so the organization selected Cymulate and deployed Cymulate Breach and Attack Simulation and Cymulate Continuous Automated Red Teaming.

Cymulate automated security testing and continuous red‑teaming—running emergent threat assessments, applying threat intelligence, and validating controls across three locations, multiple VLANs and Windows/Linux environments—while producing audit-ready reports. As a result, the Leading FinTech Organization meets PCI‑DSS testing requirements, automatically tests for new threats, continuously validates controls, detects and prevents security drift, and has increased team efficiency and real‑time visibility to prioritize and remediate the most critical vulnerabilities.
