Case Study: a large Gulf-based retail bank strengthens cyber defenses with ScienceSoft security testing

Large Gulf-based Retail Bank boosts cyber defense with ScienceSoft after 65% phishing susceptibility test

ScienceSoft was engaged by a large Gulf-based retail bank to conduct comprehensive IT infrastructure security testing. The bank, which serves over 2.5 million clients, needed a qualified provider to perform vulnerability assessments and penetration testing on its internal and external network perimeters, a security risk assessment of its digital channels, and a simulation of social engineering attacks against its employees.

ScienceSoft's solution involved performing these security testing services, which revealed several critical vulnerabilities, including a server susceptible to external manipulation and a high susceptibility to phishing among employees. Following ScienceSoft's detailed remediation plan, the bank fixed all issues and successfully retested, resulting in a fortified cyber defense and an increased security level across its network.
