Making a decision on a new cybersecurity tool is never easy—particularly when it’s unclear how rival products compare. It’s tempting to simply type “product vs. product” into Google and see if one stands out as the clear favorite. However, sometimes you can find that two products have been mistakenly grouped together and aren’t actually in competition, but rather, they are in separate categories.

Core Impact has further enhanced the pen testing process with the introduction of two new modules.

In The New Normal in Cybersecurity Part 1, we examined three leading trends in the cybersecurity community over the past year. In this installment, we will take a look into the future and make predictions about where the cybersecurity landscape is potentially headed in 2022 and beyond.

The past year has shown organizations that uncertainty and a transformed reality are the new normal in business. While remote work was intended as a temporary response to the global pandemic, it is now considered a regular part of the business environment—fundamentally altering the way companies operate. This means organizations have had to respond in real-time to shift their cybersecurity strategies and keep up with an expanding IT infrastructure, the explosion of IoT devices, and a new wave of threats from more sophisticated attackers.

The MITRE ATT&CK Framework was created in 2013 to create a comprehensive document of tactics, techniques, and procedures that cyber attackers were regularly using to breach the defenses of individuals and organizations. Since then, it has grown to be a global knowledge base that has helped to standardize defensive security and remains accessible to all security professionals.

Ekoparty began as an underground hacking event, but has grown into one of the foremost cybersecurity conferences in Latin America. This year was the 20th anniversary of the incredible infosec event, which takes place every year in Buenos Aires. In order to discover insights from this year’s conference, we talked with two experts from Core Security who attended, and also served as trainers at the Hackademy portion of the event.

The latest release of Core Impact has arrived! Version 21.2 underscores our alignment with the cybersecurity community, incorporating the MITRE ATT&CK™ framework to provide further insights into security weaknesses. We’ve also added additional features to Core Impact’s attack map, making the penetration testing process even more intuitive.
