techniques of hackers. The platform enables CISOs to close gaps in their

security by challenging existing security controls across the entire

cybersecurity kill-chain.

security validation programs in a cost effective way and improve return on

investment from their existing security controls."

With dozens of existing customers across APAC, Pentera is looking to

significantly grow its market share in the region. In addition to the regional

headquarters in Singapore, the company is also expanding with presences in
