Most security testing today is purely tactical; we find vulnerabilities and sometimes fix them. We use this process to satisfy compliance requirements and report point-in-time status to regulators, but we rarely learn anything about our overall security posture and use that information to change our strategy and priorities. Strategic, transformational security testing is the solution.
Strategic security testing uses aggregated data from individual penetration tests to reveal the root cause of persistent weaknesses in security posture due to broken processes and overwhelmed staff. Security and IT management can use that data to invest in training and solutions that are specifically targeted at organizational deficiencies.
