Since launching Strike, founder and CEO Santiago Rosenblatt’s team has worked to flip the paradigm from annual penetration tests, or “pen testing,” a sluggish, bloated ritual, to adaptive resilience. After all, the stakes in financial services are uniquely high. Rosenblatt, who started hacking when he was six and a half, considers himself a reformed ethical hacker: someone who uses his hacking knowledge and know-how for good. That’s what inspired him to start Strike.
“Attackers are using AI too,” he said. “If you’re not automating and continuously testing, you’re going to be outpaced. Cybercriminals are optimizing their ROI. They’ll target the weakest link which is the bank testing least often.”
