Duration: 30 minutes + 10 minutes Q&A
Today, large organizations face daily cyber attacks. To address these threats, they deploy dozens of protection products and perform frequent updates to their infrastructure. As a result, they often struggle to validate their production security posture. What's more, the traditional security processes can slow innovation efforts and time-to-market for new products and services.
Penetration testing is one of the activities that organizations use to prepare for potential cyberattacks, but they can be expensive and time-consuming to perform. According to AT&T's own Cybersecurity Risk and Readiness Assessment, 49% of organizations never conduct penetration tests.
