How ALDO Secured Its Attack Surface with Automated Security Validation

Richard Lee, Director of Cyber Security and Privacy at The Aldo Group, describes how Pentera reshaped the organization’s understanding of its true security exposure.

Operating in over 100 countries with approximately 1,000 corporate employees, Aldo lacked comprehensive exposure management and had limited visibility into how far an attacker could penetrate its environment. That changed when Pentera successfully demonstrated the ability to enumerate and crack a domain admin account, revealing critical gaps and delivering a powerful wake-up call to executive leadership. Using features such as the password assessment tool and ransomware module, Aldo now conducts rapid, one-click threat assessments and real-life attack emulations that validate security controls and expose weaknesses with clear, actionable evidence.

Pentera has become a core component of Aldo’s security stack, providing measurable value, increased visibility, and executive-level confidence through realistic validation of cyber resilience.
