Strategic security testing - why traditional pentesting is dead
IN-PERSON EVENT
Dinner Location: Mary Lane
The cyber threat landscape is constantly changing, but most security testing programs have changed little in the last decade. Compliance is increasingly driving security testing, yet compromise is still all too frequent.
The reality is that most security testing programs aren’t designed to actually mitigate business risk. The good news is that there is a way to leverage penetration testing for strategic value beyond just compliance.
Join Synack and a select group of your industry peers to find out how. Over the course of this evening, we will explore possibilities to leverage security testing to reveal “weak links” in security posture and then use that same testing program to demonstrate to leadership that the business can move forward with confidence.
We hope to see you in New York!
Discussion topics
Have you developed a risk-based security testing strategy?
How can your security teams test more without compromising on quality?
How can you gain better visibility into priority vulnerabilities, coverage, and remediation status?
Are you able to identify patterns across your attack surface, like what types of vulnerabilities are recurring on a given set of assets?
If so, how do you address those patterns and their root causes?
