Strike connects world-class ethical hackers from around the globe with companies through a platform that greatly enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of penetration testing. With Strike, companies can launch penetration tests in just 2 hours, monitor discovered vulnerabilities in real-time, and generate customizable PDF reports for compliance or potential customers within 10 seconds. Leading organizations such as Okta, Globant, DeliveryHero, and Santander Bank leverage our integrations with Jira, API, and Slack to efficiently manage vulnerabilities. They commend our exceptional quality, flexibility in updating the scopes of continuous assessments, and excellent communication. As we earned the trust of over 100 companies, we discovered that we were identifying 3x more critical vulnerabilities—with only a 1% false positive rate—compared to other providers. Recognizing that merely reporting vulnerabilities with suggested fixes was insufficient for ensuring security, we partnered with MIT for R&D to automate the retesting and fixing of vulnerabilities, including the business logic ones that pose significant risks. Quality is our top priority, which is why we offer a proof of value and a 50% refund if no high-impact vulnerabilities are found in the first three months. “Strike gives me peace” - AstroPay’s CISO Follow Strike on LinkedIn to stay updated on how we continue to lead innovations in offensive—and now defensive—cybersecurity.
