VENZA, the leading provider of data protection and regulatory compliance solutions for the hospitality industry, today announced the addition of two new products to its lineup: Pathfinder™ onsite training and VENZA Pen Testing.

The release of these offerings adds to VENZA’s comprehensive suite of resources and continues the company’s history of providing cutting-edge tools to its clients.

Pathfinder provides in-person, onsite security awareness training led by VENZA’s expert instructors. The program is a bold innovation on a classic approach and offers the ability for properties to certify large groups of employees quickly and easily in the fundamentals of data protection. Following the training session, Pathfinder subscribers gain access to a unique set of reinforcement materials for continued learning.

Onsite training makes an ideal complement to the VENZA Learning™ Content Library, which uses digital training tools to instruct staff, General Managers, and IT teams in data protection, privacy management, and regulatory compliance.

VENZA Pen Testing uses simulated cyberattacks against client computer systems to locate and attempt to exploit vulnerabilities. Using the same techniques as cybercriminals, VENZA’s in-house ethical hackers deploy a variety of state-of-the-art techniques to catalog and report clients’ points of weakness and provide recommendations for remediation. To provide comprehensive assessments, VENZA offers both external and internal pen testing. As a unique benefit, purchasers of VENZA Pen Testing also receive monthly automated recurring re-tests at no additional cost.

Because pen testing is comprehensive—examining all aspects of an organization’s IT infrastructure—and extends beyond identifying vulnerabilities to exploiting them to see how far they penetrate networks, the tool is widely considered to be the single best solution for broadly assessing and improving a cybersecurity posture.

“The nature of cyber threats, and the needs of our clients, are constantly changing,” said Barbara Espinosa, Product Marketing Director at VENZA. “New products like Pathfinder and VENZA Pen Testing ensure that our clients have access to both industry-leading tools and unique, innovative means of delivering them throughout their organizations. We heard from our clients about needs in these areas and have responded by developing exceptional solutions. We’re excited to make them available now and look forward to continuing to improve them and innovate further in the future.”

Both Pathfinder and Pen Testing are immediately available to VENZA clients. Each can be purchased as a standalone product in addition to programs like Denali™ and Everest™.
