Threat-Informed Pentesting:

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?
