Penetration Testing is Now Available From Optiri

O​ptiri, a wholly owned subsidiary of Trellance Cooperative Holdings, Inc., today announced that it is adding Penetration Testing to its roster of IT and cybersecurity offerings.
 
Penetration Testing is an NCUA requirement, though there are no real specifications for how often it should be conducted. Most credit unions default to annually, and many use internal resources to conduct pen testing. Internal resources, however, may lack insight into how bad actors operate and may also demonstrate blind spots to their own credit union’s potential vulnerabilities. By partnering with Optiri, credit unions receive access to a credit union pen testing specialist, who understands how credit unions work, what bad actors look for and how best to identify – and address – vulnerabilities.
 
Pen Testing from Optiri can be conducted in several different manners:

• External Network Penetration Testing: Identifies vulnerabilities exposed to the internet, including perimeter defenses, firewalls and externally accessible systems that could allow unauthorized access.
• Internal Network Penetration Testing: Evaluates internal network security by simulating an attacker who has gained initial access, identifying risks such as lateral movement, privilege escalation and access to sensitive systems.
• Wireless Network Penetration Testing: Evaluates wireless networks for weaknesses that could allow unauthorized access to internal systems or data.
• Cloud Penetration Testing: Identifies misconfigurations and security weaknesses within cloud-hosted environments and services commonly used by credit unions.
• Web Application Penetration Testing: Assesses web-based applications for vulnerabilities that could lead to unauthorized data access, account compromise or service disruption.

​“This is something our credit union partners have been asking for,” said Barry Lewis, Senior Director, Security & Consulting at Optiri. “They know they’re at risk, and they want to be proactive about finding and correcting those issues. We’re very excited to be able to now offer a solution for our existing partners and hope we can also be of aid to new credit unions as well.”
