Introduction/Overview

Ransomware is growing exponentially, and small companies are no longer immune. Trustvio (real name kept private for security reasons) is an innovative startup that was trying to get their start with their first customers when they were attacked with a $2 million ransomware.

Challenge

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.

Solution

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.

Benefit

Trustvio was able to regain their prospects’ trust and close their first contracts.

Result

Although they will always have a healthy fear of ransomware, the team at Trustvio can move forward more confidently now that they have Red Sentry behind them and a strong security program in place.

“We engaged Red Sentry to perform a penetration test during our security assessment this year. The team was extremely professional and made the process very smooth. We were very impressed with the findings their team uncovered, as well as the reporting.”

Jose Cordero, Director of Information Technology

“Pathify evaluated five security review providers for its annual third-party penetration exercise.
RedSentry scored strongly on responsiveness and project management, and we liked the provided sample outputs.
We engaged three different review types - web testing, penetration testing and code audit. Each of these was undertaken quickly and with great professionalism, and the entire engagement concluded more than a week before its due date.
The findings which were ultimately presented were thorough and had a high degree of accuracy. There were no annoying false negatives to explain, and it was clear that significant human review had been performed on whatever automatic testing had been applied.

We were entirely satisfied with the RedSentry product and process and will use them again.”

"The Healthcare sector has been heavily affected by cyber attacks this past year. As we have so much sensitive data in our business, security is one of my main concerns. Since we’ve been using Red Sentry, I feel more confident because my team knows which patches need to be applied first and how to test them afterwards.
