Recently, Core Security released the 2024 Penetration Testing Report, which shares the results from an annual survey of cybersecurity professionals on their experiences with offensive security strategies and solutions. In this series, we’ll take a deeper dive into some of the most noteworthy findings from the survey, with expert insights from Fortra’s CISO, Chris Reffkin, and Lead Product Manager for Infrastructure Protection, Pablo Zurro.

Cybersecurity budgets are beginning to get cut across the country, and organizations are faced with tough choices about what should stay and what should go. As security budgets face extra scrutiny and potential cuts, it’s critical to evaluate the cost and benefits of each security practice. It can be difficult to define the value of proactive security solutions like pen testing, as a precise ROI is hard to determine. After all, how does one quantify attacks that were prevented?
What’s the point of establishing a baseline if you don’t intend to track your progress? When organizations only run an initial pen test, they are only getting half the picture.
A pen test is used to give a business a baseline idea of how well their systems would stack up against hackers who wanted to exploit vulnerabilities. Once the results are delivered, it’s up to the team to implement those changes. And then –
Over the years, penetration testing has become an integral component of proactive approaches to security, evaluating and prioritizing risk before breaches occur. Through the exploitation of identified security vulnerabilities, penetration testing can effectively measure the feasibility of systems or end-user compromise and evaluate any related consequences such incidents may have on the involved resources or operations.
In this series focusing on Active Directory attacks, we’re running through four different scenarios based on real penetration testing engagements that demonstrate the variety of techniques and tactics that can be used to compromise
