Creating a Strategic Penetration Testing Program
Traditional, check-the-box penetration testing is a thing of the past. Modern penetration testing must be strategic and human delivered. So, how can you make this shift? In this session, Sam Horvath, Technical Client Director at NetSPI, the Minneapolis-based leader in offensive security, will explore the two core pillars of successful pentesting program, share real examples of pentesting program transformations, and detail the steps organizations can take to get there.
