Success Story

FINMA-recognised penetration testing for Allianz Suisse

“avantguard supports us in penetration testing in two areas: one is preparation and coordination, the other is carrying out the penetration tests, which are performed at a very, very high level of quality and are also very well received by external auditors such as FINMA.” (translated from German)

Christian Bormann Head of IT Risk and Compliance Management, Allianz Suisse

AI at avantguard

Attackers rely on AI. Your test should too.

Attackers use AI to act faster and more precisely. To keep your test realistic, we already use AI today: for specific subtasks, following clear rules and always under the direction of experienced testers.
