Case Study: Channel 4 cuts penetration test costs with Invicti

Channel 4 cuts penetration test costs by 60% after partnering with Invicti

Channel 4, the UK broadcast and media company behind All 4 and 12 TV channels, needed a more efficient way to test the security of its thousands of web assets while staying within budget and meeting GDPR expectations. Before working with Invicti, Channel 4 relied heavily on repeated third-party penetration tests, which were costly and time-consuming.

Using Invicti Enterprise, Channel 4 gained better visibility into its applications and could run automated vulnerability scans and penetration tests more frequently, especially on sites that did not store PII. With Invicti, Channel 4 cut penetration testing spend by about 60% in the first year and reduced it further to around 20% of its original spend the following year, while also catching issues earlier and delivering projects faster and with less manual effort.
