Why Pentesting Has to Be Your #1 Security Control

Too many organizations still treat network pentesting as a compliance checkbox. Traditional tests are slow, expensive, and only show you were safe the day they were run, while attackers are probing networks every single day.

In this session, we’ll break down why pentesting should now be your #1 security control — not just for compliance, but for real defense. Automation has completely changed the game. What used to be a once-a-year audit snapshot is now a continuous safeguard that uncovers exploitable entry points, proves whether a single compromise could spread into a full-scale breach, and provides the guidance to stop it before it does.

You’ll learn:

• Why annual pentests can’t keep up with modern threats
• How attackers escalate and move laterally after phishing or misconfigurations
• How continuous network pentesting validates whether compromises stay contained or spread
• Why automated pentesting is the most important form of security “insurance”"
