Why You Should Consider a Source Code Assisted Penetration Test

A New Year reminder that code review and penetration testing each miss vulnerabilities the other finds, so organizations should do both and remediate findings instead of delaying fixes.

A walkthrough of the penetration testing life cycle—planning, scanning, exploitation, persistence, and reporting—and how a structured process yields consistent findings and measurable security gains.

NetSPI defines proactive security as a shift from reactive patching to seeking unknown risks, built on three pillars: discovering exposures, prioritizing critical issues, and confirming remediation.

NetSPI explains what makes a valuable penetration testing report, covering vulnerability identification, demonstrated impact, prioritized remediation, and how tracking findings aids security visibility.

Introduces open-source PowerHuntShares for inventorying and exploiting SMB shares with excessive permissions in Active Directory, covering root causes, ransomware risk, remediation and detection.

Why clients should allowlist pentester source IPs: pentests emulate rather than simulate attackers, and IPS/WAF bypasses are publicly documented, so blocking tester IPs just wastes engagement time.
