How DTCC Amplified Offensive Security Performance While Saving Millions

Shawn Baird of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), a critical financial market utility, explains how Pentera amplified the effectiveness of his offensive security team while delivering measurable financial impact.

As an organization where any outage could have widespread economic consequences, DTCC requires rigorous, real-time attack emulation to validate resilience. With Pentera Core, the team was able to accelerate offensive engagements, automatically uncover complex attack paths, and provide intuitive, high-value reporting to executive leadership. Compared to more manual or technically demanding tools, Pentera reduced the learning curve and streamlined operations for a lean security team.

A standout moment came with ransomware testing, where Pentera enabled significant cost savings, reducing expenses by millions of dollars. Combined with exceptional customer support and solutions architecture collaboration, Pentera has become a performance amplifier that strengthens security outcomes while maximizing team efficiency.
