Pcysys, a cyber security risk validation startup announced that IP Telecom, a leading telecommunications operator and cloud computing service provider in Portugal, has chosen its Automated Penetration Testing platform, PenTera, to assess and improve the IT cyber resilience of their own network, as well as for their customers.
Pcysys' PenTera uses algorithms to scan and ethically penetrate the network with the latest hacking techniques, prioritizing remediation efforts with a threat-facing perspective. Requiring no agents or pre-installations, the platform enables organizations to focus their resources on the remediation of the vulnerabilities that take part in a damaging "kill-chain" without the need to chase down thousands of vulnerabilities that cannot be exploited towards data theft, encryption or service disruption.
Pcysys announced recently that it has completed a $10 million series-A funding round led by Canadian VC, Awz Ventures, along with Blackstone. The company, which has developed a platform for Automated Penetration Testing, has raised $15 million to date.
Filipe Frasquilho, Director of the Business Datacenter and Cloud, IP Telecom
The intelligence and automation of PenTera have brought us, and our customers, to a higher level of cyber maturity with maximum efficiency.
Rui Ribeiro, GM, IP Telecom
After implementing PenTera in our network, we understood that reselling the solution would benefit our enterprise customers by providing a solution that can increase their cyber resilience.
