Overseeing cybersecurity is a daunting task. While the role is maturing across multiple industries, it heavily relies on internal teams such as audit, technology and risk. Meanwhile, the media seems to focus on which organization was hacked and how which is a public relations nightmare for any business.<\/strong><\/p>\n As a chief information security officer (CISO), you may continuously have these thoughts running through your mind: \u201cIf we have a breach, I\u2019ll lose my job. We\u2019ll end up all over the news. I think I\u2019m doing enough, but am I? It doesn\u2019t matter how much we spend. It doesn\u2019t matter how many devices we buy. We can still get hacked.

Organizations must take proactive steps to ensure the safety of their networks and data<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n One of the most common methods companies use to assess and test their network security is through penetration testing. These tests involve hiring third-party vendors to simulate a cyberattack and identify vulnerabilities within the system.<\/p>\n
