Customer Perspective: Testimonial from SozialBank AG

SozialBank AG: A Holistic View of the Digital Attack Surface

SozialBank AG is a credit institution specializing in the social and healthcare economy. Together with the other companies of SozialFinanz AG, it offers a broad range of financial and service offerings for the social and healthcare sector. These include classic banking services as well as factoring, billing, and advisory services, along with other specialized offerings. The diversity of business areas, entities, and digital services requires a holistic view of the external attack surface and potential risks. As an organization in the financial services sector, SozialBank is also increasingly targeted by cyber attackers. Phishing and the misuse of credentials are among the most relevant attack vectors.

More Transparency, Less Effort

With ENTRYZERO, SozialBank gains a centralized, consolidated view of its external attack surface across different companies, business models, and services. The platform continuously assesses the organization from the perspective of potential attackers, surfacing risks that might otherwise be overlooked in individual business units. Among other things, this includes identifying phishing domains directly related to SozialBank and known credential leaks.

At the same time, ENTRYZERO creates more transparency into the external attack surface and its associated risks. Instead of having to assess a multitude of individual findings in isolation, security-relevant insights are automatically analyzed, prioritized, and put into a comprehensible context. This allows SozialBank to focus its attention specifically on the topics that are actually relevant to its security posture.

This continuously produces an up-to-date, reliable picture of the external attack surface and potential risks as seen from the outside. Analysis effort is reduced, and resources can be focused specifically on the topics with the greatest need for action.

Conclusion

“With ENTRYZERO, we have a German partner at our side who provides us with continuous visibility into our external attack surface and supports us competently on individual questions. Beyond the technical capabilities, the combination of powerful technology and personal support was decisive for us. Working directly with experienced contacts allows us to analyze issues together, bring additional perspectives into our assessments, and classify risks faster and with greater confidence. This also allows us to handle complex questions efficiently and speed up decision-making where it matters. We also value the company’s roots in the European environment and its understanding of our requirements around data protection and digital sovereignty. What we find especially valuable is the opportunity to look at specific use cases together and develop practical solutions.” Haralabo Papanikolaou, Abteilungsleiter IT Services, SozialBank AG
