Your Critical Vulnerabilities Might Not Be Your Biggest Risk
Security teams have become exceptionally talented at finding vulnerabilities. Now, it’s time to turn our attention to optimizing the process for determining which of those vulnerabilities actually create a path to compromise. A critical vulnerability may look alarming on a scanner report, but if it sits behind strong segmentation, identity controls, and other defenses that prevent an attacker
- 1. Security teams have become exceptionally talented at finding vulnerabilities; now, it’s time to optimize the process for determining which of those vulnerabilities actually create a path to compromise.
- 2. Autonomous penetration testing is the missing execution layer for continuous security validation.
- 3. Rather than asking only whether a vulnerability exists, autonomous penetration testing performs attack path validation to ask whether it can be reached, exploited, chained with other weaknesses, and used to advance toward a meaningful objective.
