Penetration Testing ROI: How to Convince Leadership to Invest in Cybersecurity

While Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) know how crucial a consistent enterprise penetration testing program is to their cybersecurity program, convincing their fellow leaders and board members to invest in pen testing amid other budget demands can be challenging. The key is to speak to these leaders in terms they readily understand, focusing largely on risk.

How Threat Intelligence is Transforming Pentesting & Red Teaming

Are You Testing for Compliance or Preparing for Real Attacks? Cybersecurity isn’t just about checking boxes—it’s about staying ahead of threats. Many businesses rely on Penetration Testing (Pentesting) and Red Teaming to identify vulnerabilities. However, these traditional methods often assume that attackers play by the same rules as defenders. Reality has other plans.

The 8 Types of Penetration Testing: When You Need Them and How Often to Test

Penetration testing (aka pentesting or ethical hacking) might sound intense—and honestly, it is—but think of it as your digital stress test. Ethical hackers mimic real cyberattacks on your systems to find weak spots before the bad guys do. The coolest part? Pen tests come in different flavors, each targeting specific risks. So, how do you know when it’s time for a pentest? How often should you schedule them? And which one is right for your business?

Why Companies Need to Extend Penetration Testing to OT Environments

As companies continue to integrate their operational technology (OT) and IT environments, they’re coming to grips with the fact that this move opens them up to new avenues for cyber threats. The solution is multi-faceted, but one aspect is clear: combining OT and IT requires extending offensive security measures, such as penetration testing, to the OT environment.

What Is Cloud Penetration Testing and Why Do You Need It?

Chances are, your business is already operating in the cloud. The rewards of moving into the cloud are undeniable - organizations can build and launch new services and add computing capacity more easily than on premises in a more cost-effective manner. The cloud is indispensable for growing at the speed of the market.

How to Do Penetration Testing the Right Way (5 Steps)

A pentest is the process of evaluating the cyber security posture of an organization by finding all possible vulnerabilities in its infrastructure and exploiting them. A pentest uncovers security vulnerabilities across web apps, networks, apps, and humans via social engineering attack simulation.

Threat-led pen testing and its role in DORA compliance

enabling businesses to proactively uncover vulnerabilities that could otherwise be exploited by threat actors. In this article, we set out what threat-led pen testing is, how it relates to the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and the testing requirements included as part of the new EU regulation.

NIS2 Penetration Testing and Compliance

Every day, we hear about security threats and attacks on organisations. These threats can range from ransomware and data breaches to leakage of sensitive data. There is no denying that cyber threats have been on the rise, and many organisations have fallen victim to these attacks, leading to financial and reputational losses. Hence, it is crucial to implement policies and processes that can help respond to these attacks.

How to Conduct Web App Penetration Testing?

Web application penetration testing involves performing a simulated attack on a web app to determine weaknesses that hackers can exploit. The testing process uses emulations of real-world attacks to identify hidden attacks such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), or cross-site request forgery (CSRF). What is the worst that could happen if you don’t continuously test your web application for vulnerabilities?
