Traditional offensive security practices, such as annual pentesting, are insufficient for modern cybersecurity needs. Cyber adversaries operate continuously, with evolving tactics capitalizing on new vulnerabilities. Point-in-time assessments are limited and miss vital changes in enterprise environments. Controls decay and misconfigurations can lead to escalated access vulnerabilities unnoticed by infrequent audits. Continuous testing through an Offensive Security Operations Center is essential to effectively manage risks and respond to the dynamic nature of threats. A proactive and ongoing approach to offensive security is critical for safeguarding networks against emerging attacks.
In the real world, adversaries don't operate in bursts. Their recon is continuous, their tools and tactics are always evolving, and new vulnerabilities are often reverse-engineered into working exploits within hours of a patch release.
Annual pentesting falls short in environments that change faster than they can be assessed. The scope is limited and does not account for the constant evolution of threats.
