The global chaos of last year was also seen in the digital world, as cyber attackers were seemingly relentless in their efforts. Such activity underscores the importance of penetration testing to assess and test security vulnerabilities, which allow you to better evaluate risk and be ready to detect, prevent and respond to threats as they happen.
The latest release of Core Impact has arrived! Version 20.3 showcases our commitment to creating a comprehensive, streamlined process for testing the defenses of any IT environment. At the forefront of this effort is the debut of exciting new interoperability capabilities with our red teaming platform, Cobalt Strike.
Security vulnerabilities are one of the most common problems in cybersecurity today, as they may exist in operating systems, services and application flaws, improper configurations or risky end-user behavior. According to the statistics from the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures list, 12,174 new vulnerabilities were uncovered in 2019—over 13 times as many as were discovered in 1999, when the database first came into existence.
