MBC Group partners with Pentera to further its security validation practices

Pentera, a company in automated security validation, announced its partnership with MBC Group, one of the largest media companies in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, to pre-empt ransomware attacks and ensure continuous enterprise-wide security validation.

The MBC team was actively looking for a solution to support their penetration testing program and constantly validate the efficacy of their current security stack. Since integrating the Pentera platform, MBC has been able to 10x the frequency of security validations across its corporate IT infrastructure. This has allowed MBC to test the resilience of its security against actual attacks and to find vulnerabilities faster. The in-depth reports from Pentera are also used to benchmark MBC’s security over time and improve internal communication about security objectives.

Aus Alzubaidi, Director of IT and Media Management at MBC Group said “As a global organization, it is essential for us to have an accurate assessment of our organizational resiliency against real cyber-attacks.”

Alzubaidi added “Utilizing the Pentera platform has improved our ability to validate our security as well as prioritize our remediation processes. These capabilities have already proved extremely valuable and will become more crucial as our networks continue to expand and evolve.”

Morgan Jay, SVP Sales, EMEA & APAC at Pentera said “With the complexity of cybersecurity growing every day, organizations around the world need solutions that not only protect them but also help them simplify the process. The value of automated security validation cannot be overstated as companies shift from merely managing vulnerabilities to actually managing their cyber exposure.”

Jay added “We’re proud to work alongside an industry leader like MBC who are leading the charge and adopting new paradigms for security.”
