Most businesses believe their website is secure.

They have SSL.
They have passwords.
They have some kind of protection.

But the reality is: most websites are hackable — it’s only a matter of time.

Ethical hacking is becoming an increasingly popular career path. More and more people want to become pentesters, security professionals, or bug bounty hunters.

In this article, we take you inside a real-world NeoBank security program to show what penetration testing actually looks like at scale, what vulnerabilities were discovered, and why continuous security testing is becoming the new standard.

In the past 1–2 years, one of the biggest “accelerators” of cyber attacks has not been a new vulnerability, but a tool: generative AI. Attackers did not receive magic, but rather resources, flexibility, and better “quality”: more credible texts, better impersonation, and faster automation.

This is a case study of a five-month penetration testing (Software Security Assessment) project carried out for a specific client. Its purpose is to present the types of software examined during the project.
