Pentest for an innovative ski resort

Bukovel is the largest ski resort in Eastern Europe, located in the Ukrainian Carpathians. It has an extensive infrastructure, including 70 kilometres of ski slopes, 16 ski lifts, numerous hotels, restaurants, spas, and platforms for sports and leisure activities. Bukovel receives approximately 2.2 million tourists annually.

Recognising the cybersecurity risks associated with its vast infrastructure and the handling of sensitive customer data, Bukovel aimed to ensure business continuity and data protection.

With millions of guests using their IT services annually and past incidents highlighting the need for a comprehensive security assessment, Bukovel initiated a penetration testing project with an external contractor.

The penetration testing project provided Bukovel with a comprehensive evaluation of their security posture, identifying potential vulnerabilities and areas for improvement. The results enabled the resort to take proactive measures to enhance their overall security stance, mitigate risks, and safeguard their critical assets and customer data.

By conducting such an assessment, Bukovel demonstrated its commitment to maintaining a secure environment for its guests and operations. The findings and recommendations offered valuable insights into strengthening their defences against potential cyber threats — initiated from the outside and from the inside.

The results of this project empowered Bukovel to make informed decisions and prioritise their security efforts, ultimately enhancing their overall resilience.
