Penetration Testing

How to get the most out of your pen test remediations

Security often feels like an uphill battle. Let’s say your organisation has done the basics – you’ve got Cyber Essentials certification, and also started regular penetration testing. Firstly, congratulations – you’re well on your way to stopping the majority of opportunistic attacks. But after the pen test comes the report, and for business who aren’t prepared, a whole new problem emerges: how do you tackle the remediations effectively?

Penetration Testing vs Vulnerability Scanning: What's the Difference?

Penetration Testing (also known as pentesting or ethical hacking) is a simulation of an attack on a computer system, network, or web application to identify potential security vulnerabilities and gauge the effectiveness of existing security measures. These are typically performed by cybersecurity professionals with specialised knowledge and experience in identifying and exploiting system vulnerabilities.

How to Choose the Right Pentester: A Comprehensive Guide

Penetration testing is, perhaps, the most effective method to make your web and mobile app more resilient to attacks. No wonder penetration testing is expected to become a $4.5 billion industry by 2025. While penetration testing is powerful, finding the right Pentester can be tiring. And if you end up hiring the wrong individual/company, you might risk your app's security even further. However, we got you covered.

Static analysis + penetration testing = More than the sum of their parts

Static analysis + penetration testing delivers a powerful punch in any software due-diligence effort. In the world of tech merger and acquisition (M&A) transactions, timing is everything. It’s important for prospective buyers and investors to understand as much of the target’s software assets’ security, quality, and legal posture as possible in a brief amount of time. This drives the need to conduct multiple assessments on a target’s code simultaneously.

An Introduction to Agile Penetration Testing

Kroll helps development teams build agile penetration testing programs that prioritize security posture throughout the project life cycle while maintaining a rapid release cadence. When it comes to modern application delivery, speed and agility are the name of the game. Customer demands are driving rapid release cycles, pushing development teams to create new products and to update existing ones at a much more aggressive pace.

The Top 10 Critical Pentest Findings in 2022

We live in a world where nearly everything can connect to the internet. While this is one of the greatest times in technology, it also brings an overwhelming amount of cybersecurity threats and challenges. CISOs and IT teams are pushed to the limits of being able to adequately and quickly protect their customers from emerging cyber threats. Cybercrime continues to increase by 15% year over year; costing the U.S. 6.9 billion just in 2021. By 2025 cybercrime will cost the entire world 10.5 trillion annually.
