The new version of CORE IMPACT Pro provides IT security managers with an unmatched level of visibility into their enterprise IT risks, allowing them to replicate real-world cyber attacks that reveal critical exposures on a regular basis.

With IMPACT Pro v9 penetration testing software, organizations can assess their vulnerability to data breaches and many other attacks in a way that is comprehensive, realistic and safe.

“CORE IMPACT Pro provides customers with the actionable data they need to immediately address their most significant exposures, which is vital to defending against cyber attacks,” said Mark Hatton, CEO of Core Security Technologies.

Software-based penetration testing also offers tremendous value by enabling organizations to effectively perform internal security self-assessment as frequently as their environments demand, creating a repeatable process that allows them to actively measure and benchmark security posture on an ongoing basis, while providing actionable data for effective remediation.

“IT managers are expanding the use of risk assessment within their enterprise security programs. To make risk assessment work they must create metrics by which to measure their progress over time and actively test their defenses against real-world attacks,” said Charles Kolodgy, research director at IDC.

“By performing penetration testing, security teams can better monitor, benchmark and remediate exploitable weaknesses. In fact, the US Federal Government and Payment Card Industry (PCI) standards mandate frequent penetration testing,” added Kolodgy.

The new release specifically extends the world’s leading commercial-grade penetration testing software solution by adding new enterprise management functionality and expanding the depth and breadth of the product’s real-world security testing capabilities.
