In global corporations, compliance controls play a critical role in ensuring business sustainability — and the same goes for cybersecurity risk management.

Regular pentesting is necessary to guarantee a high level of protection and to minimise possible risks for consumers, employees, contractors and shareholders.

During pentesting, a full set of common pentester tools was used — but the main key to success was manual analysis: interconnecting individual vulnerability exploitation results to escalate privileges and demonstrate practical IT-infrastructure compromise.
