A Real World Example To illustrate, consider this real example: A manufacturing conglomerate has an engineer build a Javascript connector for remote access to a mainframe but inadvertently exposes it to the internet. How do you discover this risk and its potential damage? A penetration test will not help unless you happen to be testing that particular machine among hundreds or thousands of servers. A vulnerability scan also will not help, as the risk will be invisible because it is not…
