Traditional pentesting is no longer enough. Leadership and board of directors hear about the latest cyber breaches and question if their security team is prepared for that specific threat actor targeting their industry. Not having a definitive answer is no longer acceptable.

The best way to win the war against these cyber criminals is by testing your organizations defenses against real-world threats. There’s no better way to do that then by emulating the tactics and techniques of these known adversaries on your real production network. Threat-informed pentesting (TIP) is the first step to covering these defenses.

TIP leverages global threat intelligence about specific emerging adversaries and one-to one tests your environment against their exact tactics and techniques. TIP can be catered to your specific environment to demonstrate your ability to detect and respond to entire attack chains. TIP is a versatile offering that can be added on to an existing pentest or as a stand-alone exercise to meet a company’s budget and security posture. This isn’t going to be a traditional year, don’t limit your company to a traditional pentest.

Join OnDefend CEO Chris Freedman and CTO Ben Finke for an expert crash-course on threat-informed pentesting. Throughout the cast — moderated by Emmy award winner Lauren Verno — you’ll learn:

• What is threat-informed pentesting and its benefits compared to traditional pentesting techniques
• How OnDefend executes TIP scenarios to emulate real-world threats, and how this approach can improve your organization’s security posture
• Engagement options for threat-informed pentesting, and how to determine the best approach for your organization
• How to answer leadership’s questions about threat actors targeting a specific industry, and how to prepare your organization for potential threats
• Discover BlindSPOT technology and how it can help implement TIP in a continuous assessment strategy, providing ongoing visibility into your organization’s security posture
