Absolutely. A recent survey of CISOs and CIOs, commissioned by Pentera and conducted by Global Surveyz Research, offers a quantifiable glimpse into this evolving battlefield, revealing a stark contrast between the growing risks and the tightening budget constraints under which cybersecurity professionals operate. With this report, Pentera has once again taken a magnifying glass to the state of pentesting to release its annual report about today's pentesting practices. Engaging with 450 security executives from North America, LATAM, APAC, and EMEA—all in VP or C-level positions at organizations with over 1,000 employees—the report paints a current picture of modern security validation prac

This Article is written by Dave for our January Issue of The Hacker News Magazine , We like to share with our website Readers also: I've traditionally been on the offensive side of security through my career. With tools that I've developed like Fast-Track and The Social-Engineer Toolkit (SET), it's primarily focused on the attack front. Awhile back I had an idea of creating a more defensive tool around both Windows and *nix systems and keep things open-source as usual. I started Artillery about three months ago with the intent of developing an open-source project that does a bit of everything.
