Questions we hear

How often should we run a penetration test?

At least once a year, and after significant changes such as a new application, a cloud migration or an acquisition. Many customers, insurers and frameworks expect annual testing.

What is the difference between a penetration test and a red team exercise?

A penetration test finds as many exploitable weaknesses as possible in a defined scope. A red team exercise pursues a specific objective, such as reaching sensitive data, and tests your detection and response along the way.
