The company is fueled by exceptional consultants who possess the ideal combination of technical, business and interpersonal skills with many years of experience across various industries. This empowers Netcotech to deliver on each client's IT expectations.

Netcotech, a seasoned player in managed IT services across North America, encountered significant obstacles in scaling its cybersecurity offerings. Confronted with a growing number of endpoints and escalating cyber threats, the company faced a critical challenge. Their existing automated network pentesting vendor, a direct competitor of Vonahi, enforced a rigid subscription model. This model demanded a substantial investment of $35,000 for a fixed number of IP addresses, without the flexibility to scale down or serve multiple clients. This limitation impacted both smaller client engagements and Netcotech's profitability.

After a careful analysis of the market, Gideon Gideon, the senior network engineer at Netcotech, selected Vonahi Security's vPenTest. This solution offered the sought-after automation, scalability, and flexibility, key in addressing their dynamic client needs. "We selected vPenTest after a thorough comparison with other tools, which did not meet our flexibility and effectiveness criteria. Vonahi's responsiveness and technical capabilities made them a standout choice. The solution provided results comparable to our previous vendor and, in some cases, even surpassed them," said Gideon.

Implementing vPenTest revolutionized Netcotech's approach to internal and external network pentesting. With its automated testing processes, vPenTest helped them run a larger volume of network security assessments without increasing team size. This strategic move allowed Netcotech to extend its high-caliber cybersecurity services to smaller businesses, which were previously priced out by the costs of their previous vendor and conventional offerings.

The financial implications were clear: the transition led to a significant revenue increase, with Netcotech adding approximately $20,000 in profit. Beyond financials, vPenTest played a pivotal role in the identification and mitigation of critical security vulnerabilities, enhancing client defenses against potential cyber incidents. “We were impressed by the level of details in the final reports, and how easy it was to understand,” Gideon emphasized.

Netcotech's decision to integrate vPenTest not only bolstered its security services portfolio but also strengthened its market position, underscoring its reputation as a cutting-edge managed services provider.
