A Journey Through Security and Risk Management My career began as a software developer, where I built a strong technical foundation. I then transitioned into risk assessments, gaining a theoretical understanding of security concepts. This experience paved the way for my move into network engineering and threat detection, where I worked with a managed security service provider, honing my skills in customer-centric service delivery. From there, I shifted to consulting, focusing on penetration testing and secure code reviews. These roles deepened my technical assessment expertise and led me to oversee security assessment services at Novartis, where I managed global security initiatives, including penetration testing. My career then evolved into digital forensics, con
Top Penetration Testing as a Service platform (PTaaS) in Europe 2025
Customer loyalty in cybersecurity is earned through authentic trust, not empty promises. Few companies embody this principle better than Edgescan, a globally recognized SaaS-based vulnerability and exposure management platform. As digital infrastructures grow more complex and threats become more sophisticated, Edgescan provides continuous, high-assurance protection. Its mission extends beyond fixing vulnerabilities. It gives organizations confidence that their most critical assets are secure. “Clients do not just rely on us for technology. They rely on us for the confidence that alerts are real, coverage is complete, and costs would not spiral,” says Eoin Keary, CEO of Edgescan. This philosophy defines Edgescan’s service approach. By combining intelligent automation with expert analyst validation, the company ensures every alert is verified before it reaches a client. This reduces false positives and enables security teams to focus on real risks rather than distractions. HYBRID SECURITY FOR CHANGING ENVIRONMENTS As businesses evolve through mergers, expansion, cloud adoption, or the modernization of legacy systems, the demand for adaptable security continues to grow. Edgescan’s SaaSbased platform is designed precisely for these challenges, delivering continuous scanning across thousands of endpoints, web applications, and infrastructure spanning both cloud and on-premises environments. Rather than overwhelming clients with unverified alerts that contribute to alert fatigue in already stretched security teams, Edgescan takes a more deliberate approach. Vulnerabilities are first analyzed with AI-driven intelligence for speed and scale, and then validated by experienced security experts to ensure accuracy. This methodology is reinforced by a proprietary data lake of more than 20 million verified vulnerabilities, allowing Edgescan to benchmark findings against historical trends and industry standards. Manual validation adds an additional layer of precision for issues requiring deeper scrutiny, such as business logic flaws or authorization errors. Every confirmed vulnerability is delivered with meaningful context, including exploit prediction scores and live threat intelligence, enabling security teams to take action based on severity and real-world impact..
ERP Software and IT Services
Innovation is key to staying ahead in the fashion industry. Founded in 1994 by Thorsten Beck and Peter Schubert, SACO Software and Consulting GmbH initially focused on hardware services. Subsequently, the duo recognized the distinctive challenges faced by the fashion sector and pioneered the first ERP system, APPone, designed specifically for it. To broaden the horizon, SACO decided to use its decade-long knowledge to create another industry-neutral ERP system. Since this iteration of the software was based on open source architectures, it was named openAPPone. This user-friendly platform allows businesses across various sectors to leverage its capabilities without the hassle of installation, aligning perfectly with the ongoing trend of digitization. SACO’s success is rooted in its innovative products and a consulting-first approach. From the initial inquiry, clients benefit from the expertise of a dedicated team of technical specialists and industry professionals, ensuring they receive tailored solutions. This personalized guidance is backed by over 30 years of combined experience in the fashion and ERP domains, creating a rich blend of technical and commercial knowledge.

Reimagining Enterprise Security for the Always-On Era
With organisations operating in complex, rapidly changing digital environments, traditional security checks are no longer sufficient. Static assessments leave critical gaps, exposing systems to evolving threats that change daily. What enterprises need is an integrated approach that offers real-time visibility, continuous assurance and proactive risk reduction. A continuous security testing and unified exposure management (CST-UEM) SaaS platform delivers precisely that. By combining continuous assessment, threat intelligence and exposure management within a single solution, it provides an ongoing view of an organisation’s security posture. Vulnerabilities are detected, validated and prioritised as they appear, enabling faster remediation and smarter resource allocation. Operating through a cloud-based model, the CST-UEM platform simplifies scalability and automates testing workflows, eliminating operational strain. It consolidates data from across assets, configurations and environments, helping security teams act on precise insights rather than fragmented reports. As digital infrastructures grow in complexity, with new risks emerging every hour, continuous testing and unified management are significant. The CST-UEM platform represents a new standard in cybersecurity resilience where protection is constant, intelligence is unified, and response is immediate. In this edition, we spotlight Continuous Security Testing and Unified Exposure Management as a next-generation cybersecurity approach. The integrated SaaS platform combines automation, intelligence, and real-time visibility to help organisations stay ahead of evolving threats. As security shifts from reactive to continuous, such platforms are defining how enterprises strengthen resilience and trust in the digital era. We also present insights from expert CXOs, such as Richard Frost, Chief Information Security Officer at esure Group, and Dobrin Dobrev, Chief Information Security Officer at TBI Bank, who offer their opinions on the currently used business practices. We hope that the valuable insights from industry leaders and the solutions and services featured in this edition will help you make informed decisions for your business.
