As cyber-attacks continue to be disturbingly common, penetration tests have become increasingly important. These valuable assessments, performed using either in-house personnel or third-party service vendors, exploit vulnerabilities to determine the security stance of an IT environment. In fact, according to the 2024 Penetration Testing Survey, 83% of respondents run pen tests at least 1-2 times a year.
Core Impact and Cobalt Strike represent two distinct, yet complementary approaches to security assessment.
Penetration testing has become an increasingly standard exercise, with organizations using either pen testing services or in-house teams to uncover weaknesses and assess their security posture.
Security teams are increasingly turning to penetration testing tools to advance their in-house programs through strategic exploitation automation. However, it can be challenging to round out a comprehensive and integrated pen testing toolset that meets both your organization’s requirements as well as your budget.
While the Core Impact team is hard at work to provide and enhance the most comprehensive pen testing tool, we want to be sure to regularly check in with those who matter most—our customers!
That’s why we’re pulling back the curtain to provide a look behind the scenes and show you what’s on the horizon. During this exclusive user-focused on-demand webinar, meet the product experts dedicated to your success. March's update covered:
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.
As the need for regular security assessments continues to grow, penetration testing tools are helping organizations advance their in-house programs through strategic automation. However, there is a misconception that automated tools are best for those with a reduced headcount, like small teams or individuals.
