Case Study: Blackstone reduces remediation time and boosts red team efficiency with Pentera

Automating Red Team Activities at one of the World’s Leading Investment Firms

Blackstone, a leading global investment firm, required a way to continuously validate its security controls across a large, hybrid network. The challenges included months-long gaps between manual penetration tests, repetitive tasks that hindered red team productivity, and difficulty in retaining top security talent. The firm turned to the vendor Pentera for its automated penetration testing and continuous security validation platform.

By implementing Pentera, Blackstone automated its red team activities, enabling weekly tests that safely emulate a real-world adversary. The solution provided prioritized remediation lists and validated the effectiveness of existing security tools. As a result, Pentera helped reduce the time to remediate vulnerabilities from months to days, increased red team productivity by 20%, and provided continuous assurance that the firm's security investments were effective.
