Purple Teaming - The Collaborative Future of Penetration TestingFRSecure
Organizations get penetration tests year after year, yet companies still get breached because they’re STILL missing the basics.Traditional penetration tests are failing to prepare organizations for the threats they actually face. They’ve become a commodity of compliance and box-checking. Remediation steps rarely include management objectives. General lack of excitement for Blue Team functions. Red team is sexy, but just a tool. Do you even have a JBOSS server? (Then why are you seeing alerts for it?)
