To expand companies' cybersecurity arsenal, CLM brings Pentera's automated security validation solutions to its portfolio, which transcend sporadic simulation by emulating attacks across all layers of security, all day, every day
According to Pentera’s The State of Pentesting 2023 survey, In the last 24 months, more than 88% organizations have suffered breaches. Considering that companies use an average of 44 security solutions to protect their IT environments, this number is alarming. To expand companies' cybersecurity arsenal and overcome sporadic simulation, CLM, a Latin American value-added distributor focused on information security, data protection, cloud and infrastructure for data centers, starts distributing automated pentest solutions from Pentera, leader in automated security validation.
Bruno Okubo, Pentera product manager at CLM, explains that, today, the biggest challenges of pentest (penetration or intrusion testing that evaluates the security of a system or network), carried out by people, are the lack of skilled labor, standardization of the results presented, the high cost. And because it is not continuous. “The company receives a photo of the moment the pen test was carried out. With Pentera the organization now has a film.” With this, you have constant visibility of exploitable vulnerabilities and can verify whether the corrections carried out had the desired effect. A differentiator of Pentera's automated security validation solution is that it does not require installed agents, operates in a real environment, is autonomous, secure and comprehensive, which adds a lot of value to CLM resellers and its customers.
The platform Automated Security Validation™ helps Pentera's more than 650 customers in more than 45 countries discover how exposed their IT environments are to real-world, real-time attacks and breaches, emulating attacks across all layers of cybersecurity, all day, every day.
The partnership
Pentera adds an unprecedented solution to CLM's portfolio. “With Pentera, our channels and customers will have visibility into exploitable vulnerabilities in their environment and a MITER-based report that will help them carry out cybersecurity investment planning,” says Okubo.
O CLM’s objective with the partnership is to provide an offer that allows your value-added channels to deliver safe, reliable, quality and continuous pentest services, solving these problems. In turn, Pentera's expectations is to leverage and accelerate your business in Brazil with a select base of partners focused on cybersecurity and thus expand your market coverage, brand positioning and business growth. For the Israeli company, present in 45 countries, Brazil is strategic as it is the largest market in Latin America.
CLM explains that it will engage channels with experience in cybersecurity to present the solution to companies and create work strategies together. “We hope to be able to grow Pentera’s partner ecosystem by enabling new resellers, generating demand with strategic marketing actions and expanding our partners’ portfolio with a reliable solution that generates consistent revenue and further protects their customers’ environment.”
New approach
Recognized by Gartner Hype Cycle for Security Operations 2023 as a Sample Vendor in three categories – Automated Penetration Testing and Red Teaming, External Attack Surface Management (EASM) and Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) – Pentera has a totally new approach for cybersecurity validation based on emulation of real-world attacks.
Its automated platform continually challenges existing cybersecurity controls at scale to uncover exploitable gaps across all attack surfaces. The solution provides security teams with actionable reports that allow them to reduce exposure and compare security over time.
