Wyndham Extends Continuous Security Validation to the Cloud

Joseph Gothelf, VP Cybersecurity at Wyndham Hotels & Resorts describes how Pentera Cloud expanded the organization’s successful on-prem security validation into its growing cloud environments. After achieving strong results with continuous, on-demand testing in its on-prem infrastructure, Wyndham sought to extend the same validation approach across its global cloud footprint, which supports over 9,200 hotels worldwide.

As cloud adoption increased and a dedicated cloud security team was established, the organization needed better visibility into complex and serverless environments that are often difficult to assess and secure. Pentera Cloud enables the team to independently evaluate cloud security posture, test specific use cases on demand, and gain deeper insight into potential exposures without relying on external consultants.

By integrating automated cloud security validation into its operations, Wyndham strengthens oversight across dynamic environments and ensures continuous, scalable testing aligned with its global infrastructure strategy.
