Because of its ability to emulate real-world hacking attempts and malware attacks designed to burrow through defenses to gain access to the data reserves, they chose CORE IMPACT Pro.
“It allows us to accomplish these goals with minimal time and effort,” he says, adding that CORE IMPACT Pro was far and away the most polished, commercial-grade product available in the penetration testing space. “Based on its ease-of-use, level of support and sizeable library of testing exploits, CORE IMPACT Pro was the only product that could meet all of our needs.”
The only other available technologies in the pen testing automation segment were far-less advanced or commercial-grade open source tools, which, he says, were not an option based on the state's internal guidelines.
“All things considered, Impact Pro was really the only solution that was going to meet our needs based on our guidelines, the nature of the work we wanted to do and our level of staffing expertise. Beyond the inability to go with anything open source, CORE IMPACT Pro was the product that had the features we wanted and that could allow users of varying skill depth to utilize it most effectively.”
