Small SaaS Startup Hit With $2M Ransomware

SaaS companies will always be a large target for hackers, because of the numerous attack vectors. But Trustvio certainly didn’t expect to be a target
before they onboarded their first customer. Not only did they suer a ransomware attack that they couldn’t possibly aord as a startup, but their first prospects now worried about the integrity of the company. After reporting the attack to the FBI and putting numerous security measures in place, Trustvio searched for a penetration testing company that could produce fast results to give their prospects assurance that they had remediated any weaknesses in their environment.

Trustvio searched for a fast and aordable partner they could trust, and finally found Red Sentry. Red Sentry provided a full penetration test for their external, internal, and web app environments, and found 37 vulnerabilities. These findings were remediated and Red Sentry provided a letter of attestation that Trustvio could provide to their clients.

Because time was so sensitive to this startup, Red Sentry scheduled the test in 2 business days and had the final report delivered to the company 5 business days later. Other quotes they received required over 3 weeks to schedule and cost over 30% more.
