Do We Still Need Pen Testing?
Sunday, June 14, 2015 - 12:00pm
I attended Derbycon last fall and listened to Ed Skoudis' keynote entitled "How to Give the Best Pen Test of Your Life". The talk left me wanting to ask questions, get clarification, and most importantly suggest an alternative view of the purpose and goals of pen testing. This presentation is a follow-on or rebuttal to that presentation. The goal is to promote a conversation about pen testing that takes it to a higher level than ordinarily considered. I review, based on Skoudis' presentation, the key components of the "perfect" pen test, but take it farther to discuss the purpose, goals, and desired outcomes for pen testing. I present my notion of an ideal pen test, what it could/should be, how I came to this conclusion, and offer some direction for the future of pen testing.
