One of the biggest security challenges for today’s CISOs is understanding where and how their IT systems may be attacked next. Penetration testing can be employed to support this need for identifying potential vulnerabilities, by breaking into IT systems to test an organization’s defenses. Unfortunately, the value of traditional penetration testing is limited as it is often treated as a ‘check-the-box’ exercise to meet compliance and customer requirements, diminishing its effectiveness for reducing cyber risk. CISOs need to embrace the value and potential here by adopting the latest tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by sophisticated cyber-adversaries. Randori can help organizations accomplish this.
