Further Education Institute South Staffordshire College Selects PenTera to Mitigate Cyber Security Risk

Pcysys has announced that the UK-based South Staffordshire College has chosen Pcysys’ Automated Penetration Testing platform, PenTera™, to automate its cybersecurity validation efforts towards faster security risk mitigation.

“The team was sold on PenTera during the demonstration stage alone. The value over manual penetration testing was clear instantly,” says Jason Whitaker, IT Director at South Staffordshire College. “By running the platform in production and re-testing post-remediation, we get an accurate view of our security posture. PenTera is like that best friend who tells you the truth to your face when you need it the most, even if it hurts.”
