Are you sure your cybersecurity is strong enough to keep you safe? You can’t make any assumptions about something this important — it’s time to put your cybersecurity to the test.

At its core, cybersecurity is about what you know:

Do you (and your employees) know what a phishing email looks like?
Would you even know if you suffered a data breach?
Do you know if your systems are properly defended right now?

Despite how critical these questions are, many organizations can’t answer them. According to recent statistics, cybersecurity awareness isn’t a strength in the business world:

32–33% of data breaches last year involved phishing or social engineering
The average time it took to identify a breach in 2019 was 7 months
68% of business leaders feel their cybersecurity risks are increasing

This is why third-party cybersecurity testing is so important. When was the last time you put your cybersecurity to the test?

It’s Time To Find Out Whether You’re Secure

Unfortunately, not all third-party assessments are created equal. Some are virtually worthless, involving nothing more than a technician checking off items on a list:

Do you have a firewall in place?
Do you have an antivirus solution in place?
Is there a data backup in place?

While these are certainly all important aspects of a viable cybersecurity posture, checking them off a list is not enough on its own — you need penetration testing.

What Is Penetration Testing?

The penetration test is an authorized attack on your organization’s technology and staff and is one of the best ways to accurately evaluate your security controls. In combination with a red team exercise (in which a full-scope attack simulation is executed to test organizational security), you can double-check each and every aspect of your cybersecurity posture.
