RECORDED WEBINAR· FEB 9, 2023 Threat-Informed Pentesting: The First Step to Continuous Assessment Ben Finke Principal Consultant and Managing Partner, OnDefend Dan DeCloss Founder and CEOPlexTrac REGISTER Registration is currently closed. DESCRIPTION The best way to win the war against cybersecurity adversaries is by consistently testing your defenses against advanced, real-world threats. There’s no better way to do that than by starting with known threat intelligence. Companies already engage in traditional pentesting, but this isn’t sufficient to answer leadership and boards’ concerns about specific threat actors. Threat-informed pentesting (TIP) is the first step to cover these defenses. TIP is an approach to offensive security strategy that leverages global threat intelligence about specific emerging adversaries to safely test those exact tactics and techniques on your environment. TIP offers a roadmap for short, iterate testing cycles that ensure your organization is prepared for the attacks bad actors are really using. Building a robust cybersecurity program on a foundation of continuous assessment is possible for teams of all sizes and resources when you leverage threat intelligence as the foundation of your strategy. Are you or your customers settling for traditional pentesting? Join Dan DeCloss of PlexTrac and Ben Finke of OnDefend for an expert crash-course on threat-informed pentesting. Throughout the cast — moderated by Emmy award winner Lauren Verno — you’ll learn What TIP and continuous assessment are and are not. How TIP differs from traditional pentesting. What resources are available and how to get started. Why implementing these practices will be useful to your security team in 2023. What technology can help you implement TIP in a continuous assessment strategy, including PlexTrac and OnDefend’s BlindSPOT.
