Hibank Enhances Cybersecurity with Automated Validation

This case study details Hibank's implementation of the Pentera platform to enhance its cybersecurity measures. Hibank, a digital-first financial institution in Indonesia, faced challenges in maintaining security across its expanding digital footprint. The need for automated security validation arose to ensure continuous testing without disrupting business operations. Prior to Pentera, Hibank relied on costly manual pentesting, which was infrequent and often disruptive. The evaluation process confirmed that Pentera could conduct tests without impacting application performance, allowing the security team to assess vulnerabilities during business hours. The platform provided visibility into attack paths, improving communication among IT teams regarding vulnerabilities. Additionally, the security team utilized Pentera for red teaming and to evaluate the effectiveness of their outsourced SOC team. The results included a systematic reduction of cyber exposures and a new standard for mitigating critical vulnerabilities within one week, significantly enhancing Hibank's security posture.
