Summary: 
    A Dutch company is a service provider in cybersecurity. The company offers penetration tests and vulnerability management services. A penetration test, is an authorized simulated cyberattack on a computer system, performed to evaluate the security of the system.
The company is looking for partners to conclude a commercial agency agreement.
      Description: 
        The Dutch company has 4 years of experience in cybersecurity. Besides Netherlands, the company has branches in Turkey and Dubai.  
In the cybersecurity sector it is a common seen pitfall that the results of the cybersecurity are kept in a unstructured way such as “excel files” or ticketing systems without any proper way to follow-up. While only the critical vulnerabilities are properly fixed, others are left to be fixed and forgotten as a ticket. Normally a ticketing system allows information technology (IT) support to be organized, focused, efficient, and effective. Tickets, also known as cases or issues, need to be properly stored alongside relevant user information. Another major problem is to find out the asset owner, especially in complex organizations.  An asset owner is responsible for ensuring that specific information assets are handled and managed appropriately.
The company offers two main service blocks to avoid this problems:
1)  Periodic manual penetration testing and automated scans for      
     IT (Information Technology), OT (Operational Technology), IoT 
     (Internet of Things) systems, internal and external networks, 
     cloud- and container infrastructures and mobile / web 
     applications.
2) After determining the vulnerabilities, the company manages 
    the vulnerabilities with their vulnerability management 
    prioritization platform which covers these functionalities:
    -	Standard visualization features.
    -	Asset and vulnerability prioritization. 
    -	Integration with major vulnerability scanners and ticketing
        systems.
    -	Ability to start scans, automatically import results and 
        assign tickets.
    -	Built-in ticketing and SLA (service-level agreement) 
        tracking.
    -	Report generation for upper management. 
    -	Task management.
    
The aim is to minimize the workload of vulnerability management and manage it by offering a full range of vulnerability management support. By conducting manual and automated controls, security issues will be identified and registered into the vulnerability management system. The results will be forwarded to the asset owner.
Rather than managing penetration testers, red teamers, automated scanning tools, the end user will only log in to the vulnerability management system to assess where they are and get the results/reports. Moreover, the end user is also informed when the vulnerabilities are fixed and the end user can also generate several different reports via the application, to be used in presentations or to be given to upper management or auditors.
Commercial agency agreement
The company is currently aiming at being present in different countries around the world with business partners under a commercial agency agreement.
            Type (e.g. company, R&D institution…), field of industry and Role of Partner Sought: 
    The company is looking for opportunities to expand its activities internationally. The commercial agent is desired to have solid sales channels in the following industries: finance, government, E-commerce and telecommunication.
