Align validation to the MITRE ATT&CK framework and the OWASP Top 10. By aligning to industry standards, security teams ensure that their testing covers the latest adversary techniques. Most attacks succeed by leveraging the most common TTPs, so challenging the attack surface against these frameworks provides comprehensive coverage of adversary techniques in the wild. In addition, it allows security executives to clearly report to management on security control efficacy and enterprise readiness against potential threats. Find out more at pentera.io

To continuously know the exploitable attack surface, automate your validation. Security validation must be as dynamic as the attack surface it's securing. Periodical and manual tests aren't enough to challenge the changes an organization undergoes. Security teams need to have an on-demand view of their assets and exposures, and the only way to get there is by automating your testing. Find out more at pentera.io

To understand the exploitable attack surface, security teams need to cover the full scope of potential attacks. Adversaries take the path of least resistance to the critical assets. This means using a variety of techniques to progress an attack, leveraging any vulnerability and its relevant correlations along the way. For this reason, the validation methods used must match - they need to go beyond the static vulnerability scan or control attack simulation to include a full penetration test scope.

To understand the exploitable attack surface, take the adversarial perspective. The way to know which vulnerabilities are exploitable is to…well, exploit them. This way, security teams get a concise attack vector pointing to the organization's weakest link. From here remediation requests handed to IT are focused, manageable, and based on true business impact. Find out more at pentera.io
