How the justice system deals with cybercrime is still relatively new and finding its footing. How cybercriminals are leveraging the legal system is relatively new, too.
One of Core Impact’s most valuable features is its certified exploit library. Fortra’s Core Security has a team of expert exploit writers that conduct research, evaluating and prioritizing the most relevant vulnerabilities in order to update the library with critical and useful exploits.
We are thrilled to announce the latest release of Core Impact! Version 21.5 is packed with exciting features and improvements that provide a smoother and even more efficient user experience.
When it comes to a security staple like penetration testing, we all have preconceived notions that make this practice seem quite challenging. The need to rotate vendors, interruptions to normal business, or even testers causing security risks are some that you often hear thrown around. But are they true? The short answer is no.
Penetration testing is a strategy used by organizations to proactively assess the security of their IT environments. It consists of using the same techniques as attackers to discover if there are security vulnerabilities and exploit them in a safe and controlled way. Thus, it helps security professionals determine the risk level to help prioritize remediation of those vulnerabilities.
A pen test can find weaknesses in operating systems, services and application flaws, improper configurations, or risky end-user behavior.
Core Impact's Exploit Library contains thousands of exploits and is updated on an ongoing basis. But how does the team decide which exploits to work on? This page describes the evaluation criteria, including input variables and mechanisms, used to determine which vulnerabilities are good candidates to be analyzed by our Exploit Writing Team.
While it’s important to adhere to compliance regulations, blunders do happen. What does it mean when these blunders lead to you failing a cybersecurity audit, and how can you recover?
Consequences of Failing a Cybersecurity Audit
Failing a cybersecurity audit can mean several things.
First, there’s the up-front legal fines that come with falling on the wrong side of compliance. Here are a few illustrative examples.
One of Core Impact’s most valuable features is its certified exploit library. Fortra’s Core Security has a team of expert exploit writers that conduct research, evaluating and prioritizing the most relevant vulnerabilities in order to update the library with critical and useful exploits. Additionally, the QA team creates its own clean environment to validate each exploit before its release to ensure our standards and validate that it is safe and ready to use.
