Case Study: Wind River achieves a stronger security posture and ISO 27001 compliance with HackerOne Pentest

How wind river tightens its security posture with hackerone pentest

Wind River, a global leader in software for the intelligent edge that powers mission‑critical systems across aerospace, automotive, telecom, industrial and medical sectors, needed to strengthen its security posture as it adopted ISO 27001 and moved toward a SaaS delivery model. With sensitive customer data and a rapidly evolving threat landscape, the company required a penetration-testing partner that would go beyond traditional methodology to find real‑world exploitable vulnerabilities.

Wind River ran a two‑week HackerOne Pentest that paired guaranteed coverage with a hand‑picked team of expert hackers, focusing on high‑risk findings and realistic attack techniques. The engagement uncovered and helped remediate serious vulnerabilities, enabled instant retesting, satisfied ISO 27001 testing requirements, hardened the company’s attack surface, and led to fixes and processes that reduce similar issues in future code—strengthening Wind River’s security for mission‑critical deployments.
