Case Study: GISA boosts security validation efficiency with Pentera

GISA Amplifies Team Efficiency with Automated Security Validation

GISA GmbH, an enterprise-level managed IT service and security provider, was challenged by its reliance on manual penetration tests and vulnerability scanners that lacked context. These tools did not show how identified vulnerabilities could be exploited, making it difficult to keep pace with their constantly changing network and prioritize risks effectively. This prompted them to seek an automated solution from vendor Pentera, specifically the Pentera Core product.

By implementing Pentera's automated security validation, GISA could emulate real attack scenarios to pinpoint exploitable vulnerabilities with contextual data. The solution from Pentera automated reporting and significantly improved testing frequency and efficiency. Results included conducting weekly tests instead of quarterly ones and reducing the time required to scan each client environment by 30%. This allowed the team to focus on more complex threats and improved risk communication to management by clearly tying vulnerabilities to business impact.
