MITIGATOR Cyber Risk and Threat Intelligence Platform

Powered by Mitigator™

Most penetration test findings live and die in a PDF - read once, filed away, stale the moment the ink dries. InfoSight's don't. Every AI Penetration Testing engagement runs through Mitigator, InfoSight's proprietary threat-intelligence dashboard, and stays there for as long as you're a client.

  • A live portal, not a static report - see current AI risk posture any time, no waiting on the next PDF.
  • Remediation tracking, not a findings list - every finding carries a status: open, in progress, validated closed.
  • Trending over time, not a snapshot - see whether AI risk is going up or down release over release.
  • Board-ready views on demand - pull a current risk summary ahead of a board meeting or audit.
  • Exposure mapped to your frameworks - NIST AI RMF, OWASP Top 10 for LLMs, HIPAA, PCI DSS, GLBA - updated as findings are remediated.

Columbus - Penetration Testing Frequently Asked Questions

Because Columbus is home to government, financial services, and logistics organizations that manage sensitive data and critical operations, penetration testing provides clear, evidence-based insight into how an attacker could compromise your systems, allowing you to prioritize remediation where it matters most.

Penetration testing helps Columbus organizations in government, financial services, and logistics demonstrate alignment with frameworks such as FISMA and GLBA, providing the documented evidence many auditors and regulators require to validate security controls.

Yes. Many Columbus organizations in government, financial services, and logistics rely on cloud platforms and custom applications, so assessments cover cloud configurations, APIs, and application logic in addition to traditional network infrastructure.

Annual testing is the minimum recommended cadence for most Columbus organizations, but government businesses that handle sensitive data or face frequent system changes often benefit from more frequent assessments.

Engagement length varies with scope, but most Columbus penetration tests take one to three weeks from kickoff to final report, depending on the size and complexity of the government environment being tested.
