Pentest for largest diamond tools manufacturer

The largest manufacturer of diamond tools in Eastern Europe. Distar is a joint Ukrainian-Italian company. Tens of thousands of craftsmen in more than 55 countries use Distar tools every day.

Distar recognised the need to enhance their cybersecurity posture and to fulfil compliance requirements. The primary objective was to evaluate the security of their IT resources through infrastructure penetration testing and social engineering.

Additionally, the client sought to implement effective cybersecurity measures to raise network protection and to raise awareness around social engineering attacks.

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.

The penetration testing was conducted in phases, with results monitored and recorded at each stage. Constant communication and discussions were maintained throughout the project, ensuring timely completion.

The client received insights into vulnerabilities, potential attack vectors, and areas for improvement, along with actionable recommendations to address security gaps, implement robust measures, and enhance employee awareness.

External compliance requirements were also met.
