Two brothers, highly skilled pentesters with more than 25 years of combined experience in the information security industry, founded the company in 2020. It serves clients across various continents and sectors. Our team specialises in application and cloud security, holding the OSCP/AWS/Azure/GCP security certifications. Therefore, we are very happy now that FORTBRIDGE receives CREST accreditation in Penetration Testing. This is an extra evidence regarding the quality of our services.
Adrian Tiron, co-Founder of Fortbridge, added “Security certifications can be a hit and miss sometimes. You have to really know which one to go after. So, we’ve always been very selective about our certifications and we always knew that CREST accreditation is something we need to have. This is an important milestone for us and we will definitely celebrate becoming a CREST accredited Penetration Testing Provider”
