TEL AVIV, Israel and BOSTON, Oct. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pentera, the leader in automated security validation today announced that it has been named a winner in the Black Unicorn Awards for 2022. The award is given to the 10 most innovative, successful infosec companies who are changing the landscape in cybersecurity.

"The existing cybersecurity paradigm is flawed. The current focus on vulnerability management does not enable companies to understand their true organizational risk and is therefore ineffective towards reducing exposure," said Aviv Cohen, CMO of Pentera. "By continuously challenging existing security controls in production, Pentera's platform validates the effectiveness of their security against real-world hacker tactics, enabling surgical remediation to reduce risk exposure. We're extremely honored to be named a Black Unicorn for 2022. Our selection is a reflection of the incredible work of the entire Pentera team and underscores the value that we are providing to the market."

Pentera's Automated Security Validation platform enables users to dramatically improve security readiness and ability to defend against cyber threats. Emulating the real-world techniques of hackers across the entire cyberattack kill-chain, Pentera continuously challenges existing cybersecurity controls to provide security teams with an actionable roadmap to reduce security exposure.

"We're pleased to name Pentera as a winner among the small, but elite group of cybersecurity industry leaders in our annual Black Unicorn awards," said Gary Miliefsky, Chairman & CEO of Cyber Defense Media group.
