TEL AVIV, Israel, June 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Pcysys has announced that St. Margaret's Hospice Care in the UK, has chosen Pcysys' Automated Penetration Testing Platform, PenTera, to continuously test its IT infrastructure.
"PenTera has provided us with the solution we've been looking for - the ability to continuously test our security posture anytime, from anywhere," said Nick Middletonat, Director of IT at St. Margaret's Hospice Care. "By increasing the efficiency and cadence of testing, PenTera has enabled us to properly reevaluate many aspects of our cybersecurity strategy such as improving our password policy and Active Directory configurations. It is exciting to work with Pcysys and our partner provider Emerge, we see them both as essential in meeting the cyber challenge."
The PenTera platform ethically challenges the entire IT network with the latest hacking techniques, prioritising remediation efforts towards vulnerabilities and controls that carry the majority of the risk. With PenTera, organisations perform remote and local penetration tests on-demand, to benchmark, maintain, and grow their cyber resiliency. The platform spans the testing of security controls, vulnerabilities, credential strength, access privileges, network policies, and devices. With PenTera, organisations can grow their cyber defense efficacy, their IT team productivity, and save on external consulting costs.
"Healthcare organisations, more than ever, are targets to malicious third parties," says Steve Armstrong, UK Regional Sales Director at Pcysys. "By mimicking the same TTPs as a malicious attacker, PenTera enables St. Margaret's Hospice Care to prioritise remediation focusing on the most critical fixes allowing the organisation to continuously stay one step ahead."
