Case Study: Blackpool Skills Academy strengthens cyber resilience with Methods penetration testing

Blackpool Skills Academy boosts cyber resilience with Methods after 1 internal penetration test

Blackpool Skills Academy, an educational institution, required its first comprehensive penetration test to identify vulnerabilities but faced constraints in providing physical access to their premises. They engaged Methods to perform an internal infrastructure assessment and needed expert support during the initial scoping phase to define the test parameters.

Methods delivered a thorough internal penetration test, which included a simulated 'car park attack' on the Wi-Fi infrastructure. Following the assessment, the academy's IT provider swiftly implemented Methods' recommendations, resulting in significant improvements to their cyber security posture. This included the remediation of vulnerabilities, addressing technical debt, and improved overall cyber resilience, which mitigated risk and demonstrated the organization's commitment to security.
