The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) requiring pentests be performed in card data environments (CDEs) grew this need for compliance-based pen testing.

In essence, a domino effect over the last two years of Covid-19 has led to the “Great Resignation” and the “Great Retirement.”

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…
