Despite major investments in their security suites, organizations continue to be breached. Our Co-founder and CTO, Arik Liberzon, recently sat down with CyberNews to discuss the value of the adversarial perspective and where his inspiration from Pentera came from.

Our end in mind when raising this Series B funding round was to enable a significant leap towards the company’s vision of becoming the world’s cyber security validation authority. This means automation, algorithm-based and completely “hands-off” penetration testing routines. In a technology combersed security market that spends very little on accuracy validation, automation is the dire need.

What happens when you hack 60 companies who think their security is up to par? We ran penetration testing on the networks of 60 leading companies in banking, investment, legal, insurance, and retail.

When a hacker further exploits the corporation without detection – till it’s “checkmate”…
