In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, ensuring the security of an IT firm’s global infrastructure is paramount. This case study focuses on a leading IT company specializing in business process management software products. With a global customer base and multiple office locations, the firm approached ECS Biztech to perform a detailed Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) on their infrastructure in the India and US.
