Core Sentinel is a team of leading IT security enthusiasts which was founded in 2015 by one of the cyber security industry’s best known names: Steve McLaughlin. A CREST-qualified penetration tester with more than 15 years’ experience, Steve has worked for some of the world’s biggest brands internationally, in a range of high-risk industries, including banking, finance, insurance, health, utilities, oil & gas, government and defence.
Technology moves fast. So do hackers. Which is why it’s imperative that your penetration testers are at the bleeding edge. They need to be a step ahead of the hackers, not a step behind.
But hackers don’t always exploit new vulnerabilities. Indeed, around a third of all breaches are the direct result of old vulnerabilities sometimes several years old. So while proactive research into the latest trends and technologies is critical, so too is extensive hands-on experience with legacy technologies, over many years.
Core Sentinel delivers both. We stay abreast of the latest vulnerabilities by continuously studying and participating in industry events, and we regularly put on our ‘hacker’s hats’ to discover new vulnerabilities not yet identified by the industry. And we’ve been doing it for years. Our founder, Steve McLaughlin, has more than 15 years international experience in penetration testing, and across the team, we average more than 10 years each.
