The Latest Cybersecurity News & Insights From Around The World
Penetration testing statistics, vulnerabilities and trends in 2023
The cyber-world is an ever-expanding network of digital systems and technologies that have revolutionized our lives and work. However, these advancements come with inherent vulnerabilities, making the cyber world an attractive target for cybercriminals. From data breaches to ransomware attacks, the list of cyber threats continues to grow.
Why Penetration Tests Alone Are Not Enough - The Importance of Tracking and Resolving Issues
Penetration tests are crucial to any organization's cybersecurity strategy, but they're not the whole story. Without a way of tracking and resolving the issues uncovered in these tests, they become nothing more than a snapshot in time. In the same way that software defect systems help organizations track and manage bugs, it's essential to have a system in place for measuring and addressing cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Whether deciding to fix the issue immediately or scheduling it for a future release, tracking and actioning findings is essential for staying ahead of potential threats.
Penetration Testing | Finding Skeletons Make You Stronger
Are you conducting regular penetration testing on your organization's security measures? If so, you might be missing out on a crucial step that could make you even stronger. In this video, cybersecurity expert Megan Brown shares her insights on why it's essential to proactively seek out and address any potential gaps in your security measures. As Megan explains, knowing where the bodies are - where the bones are buried - can help you identify areas of weakness and take action before they become a major issue. So why wait until it's too late?
Pen Testing: Passion or Profit?
In this video, we sit down with Jonathan Care, a renowned cybersecurity expert, to explore the question of whether or not money should be the primary motivation for pursuing a career in pen testing. Jonathan shares his insights on the importance of passion and the potential drawbacks of focusing solely on financial gain. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the role of money in the world of pen testing, and whether it should be a driving factor in your career decisions.
The Power of Continuous Penetration Testing
As organisations continue to become more reliant on technology, cyber security threats become more frequent and sophisticated. With more and more data being stored online, it’s crucial that organisations protect their systems and data from cyber attacks. Penetration testing is an effective way to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in an organisation’s cyber security defences, but traditional penetration testing has limitations.
Why Penetration Testing is a Measure of Engineering Quality | Jonathan Care
Jonathan Care, a cybersecurity expert and analyst, explains why penetration testing is not just a compliance requirement, but a function of engineering quality. He challenges the traditional view of penetration testing as a separate activity and argues that it should be integrated into the development cycle. Watch this video to learn more about how security testing can help you improve your engineering solutions and reduce your risks.
