Our take
Over the last decade, the number of Israeli-founded cybersecurity companies has quadrupled – marking the country out as a would-be global leader in the industry. Pentera is one such company, supplying Enterprise Security Validation to the likes of Deloitte, IDB Bank and NEC, as well as to government projects.
The company has been growing rapidly since emerging from stealth in 2018. It achieved Unicorn status in early 2022 and won the Black Unicorn Award that same year. Since then, it has been recognised twice on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 and continues to forge lucrative partnerships that hint at a strong future.
