This is a common question IT leaders ask about pentesting 🤔 . The answer can vary depending on the pentesting firm, but we like to focus on the following: Align Objectives and Business Goals First, you need to know the objectives of your pentest and align them with your business goals. Once you know what you want to achieve and the systems to be tested, a good pentesting firm will tailor your needs, and recommend specific types or a combination of them to meet your assessment goals. Tailoring the Approach A tailored approach means combining different pentesting types that meet your goals and address your organization’s risks. For example, an application or network pentest might be recommended in most cases. Or, if your organization leverages the cloud, the assessment can also include this type. "𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘬𝘦𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘻𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘺𝘱𝘦𝘴, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘺𝘱𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘻𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵." Beyond Compliance Hackers are constantly trying anything to breach your security. A thorough and well-planned pentest can go a long way in helping you secure your business. It’s not just about compliance—it’s about real security. A good pentesting firm will work with you to determine the best types of tests for your organization. This tailored approach ensures that you get the most value and security from your pentests. What types of penetration tests have you considered for your business? Share your thoughts below! P.S.

Pentesting Tip of the Week! It is a simple trick, but can have fantastic early results for your pentesting. Enumerating sub-domains. I see this tactic talked about a lot in pentest guides, but what is often missed is the follow up -> analyze those subdomains and who/what is hosting them. This extra analysis is a goldmine of information about what technologies, vendors, and third parties a target company is using. I usually use dnsrecon to first find subdomains and then use a simple script to check the whois details. It takes 5 seconds to get started, but often reveals a company's primary cloud technology (surprise! LinkedIn uses Microsoft), sales and marketing vendors, developer tools, soon to be released sites, admin portals, etc. After you get a quick list, it is easy to analyze individual sites for more details and potential exploits. What are your favorite tools/techniques for subdomain analysis? #penetrationtesting #pentesting #security #cybersecurity #osint

Managing cybersecurity tools can be daunting for any CISO or IT Director. A common question that often arises among our clients is, "What should our focus be on - risk, processes, or tools?" As you might guess, having every tool under the sun is rarely the answer. Organizations often find themselves with multiple solutions that overlap in functionalities. This redundancy not only consumes resources but can also cloud decision-making. It's essential to perform a comprehensive tools and gap analysis to identify redundancies and underutilized tools, otherwise known as "shelfware." A streamlined toolset, mapped to clear processes, reduces noise and improves detection efficiency. It's not about how many alerts you get, but how actionable and relevant they are. #Cybersecurity #ToolsetAnalysis #StreamliningSecurity

Ever wondered why cloud security should be your top priority? Spoiler: It's not just about keeping hackers at bay! 🌩️ A recent survey highlighted that a staggering 90% of organizations face cloud security challenges. Which means there are a lot of things that have to be improved. Here’s the deal: 1. **Visibility Matters**: You can’t protect what you can’t see. Proactive monitoring and automated threat detection are your best friends. 2. **Shared Responsibility**: Security is a team sport. Your cloud provider isn't your only defense line; you and your employees play a crucial role too. 3. **Training & Awareness**: Your team is only as strong as its weakest link. Regular training can turn your employees from potential risks into first-line defenders. 4. **Zero Trust Model**: Trust no one, verify everyone. Adopt a zero-trust approach to ensure that every access point is secure. Embracing these strategies not only fortifies your defense but also boosts your company's resilience. After all, a robust cloud security posture can become a competitive edge in this market. What's your biggest cloud security challenge? Send us a message and we'll help you solve it. 😉 #CloudSecurity #ITConsulting #CyberSecurity #TechTrends #CloudStrategy

⚙️ A strong security posture requires a broad range of security tools. Unfortunately, the data produced by these tools are almost always kept siloed within each tool and analyzed independently. Manually stitching this data together comes with the danger of mistakes, which can lead to assets and their vulnerabilities being incorrectly classified or missed entirely. Read this blog for guidance on how you can overcome these challenges and how Balbix can help you ensure your asset coverage and visibility is accurate and complete. This blog covers four use cases in greater detail: 🔎 Monitoring your security control coverage. 💻 Breaking down your inventory by asset type. 🧑💻 Getting a handle on your software inventory. ☁️ Obtaining an overhead view of your cloud systems.
