Episode 166: Why Your Pentest Didn’t Make You Safer

from The Cyber Threat Perspective · host SecurIT360

In this episode, we explore why many organizations invest in penetration testing yet see little improvement in their actual security posture. We discuss the common pitfalls of treating pentests as one-time events, how attackers operate very differently from scoped assessments, and why remediation—not the report—is what determines real safety. If you’ve ever wondered why “passing” a pentest didn’t translate into stronger defenses, this episode is for you.Blog: https://offsec.blog/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@cyberthreatpovTwitter: https://x.com/cyberthreatpovFollow Spencer on social ⬇Spencer's Links: https://spenceralessi.comWork with Us: https://securit360.com | Find vulnerabilities that matter, learn about how we do internal pentesting here.
