Pentera overview

What is Pentera?

The Pentera platform uses an algorithm to scan and ethically attack the network, providing real-time penetration tests at scale. Pentera safely performs the actions a malicious adversary would, such as reconnaissance, sniffing, spoofing, cracking, (harmless) malware injection, file-less exploitation, post-exploitation, lateral movement and privilege escalation - all the way to data exfiltration. Requiring no agents or pre-installations, the platform gives security teams a complete attack operation view that provides a true assessment of their resiliency against real attacks, prioritizing remediation efforts with a threat-facing perspective. Pentera applies the latest hacking techniques, including ransomware strains, enabling organizations to focus their resources on the remediation of the vulnerabilities that take part in a damaging “kill-chain”.

With Pentera, companies can continuously reduce cyber exposure and maintain the highest resilience posture by performing validation tests as frequently as required - daily, weekly, or monthly. This not only gives organizations a better grasp on security gaps, but also allows them to maintain consistency across the organization and test the efficiency of the security stack.

Pentera does this by providing an automated security validation platform that gives organizations the remediation roadmap they need to confidently reduce cybersecurity exposure.
