a leading mining company uncovers 9 high-severity flaws with ScienceSoft

ScienceSoft was engaged by a leading mining company to perform its first professional security checkup. The customer needed a competent vendor to conduct network penetration testing, as it lacked in-house expertise and was concerned about the potential for hackers to disrupt its critical computer automation systems and compromise financial data.

ScienceSoft performed a gray box penetration test of the customer's extensive internal network. The solution revealed multiple high and medium severity security flaws, leading to comprehensive remediation guidance. After the issues were fixed, retesting confirmed a high security level was achieved. ScienceSoft also provided crucial advice on next steps for improving the customer's overall cybersecurity posture.
