2024 and the Biggest Threats to your Business

Talent shortages, launch delays due to skillset and staffing gaps, and challenges in retaining seasoned pentesters. These all create serious barriers to running successful and consistently effective pentest programs. 

Inefficiencies in everything from coordinating schedules to monitoring coverage, tracking remediation, and maintaining a cadence of communications for high-risk issues can undermine productivity and reduce security effectiveness. 

Watch this on-demand demo (the first 10 mins) followed by a Q&A to see how the security industry’s leading Pentest as a Service (PTaaS) platform, combined with talented and thoroughly vetted pentesters, can create a responsive program filled with meaningful findings that deliver on its ROI promise.

Beyond Traditional Testing: Elevating Cybersecurity with HackerOne Pentests

Exploited vulnerabilities are the most common root cause of the most significant ransomware attacks in the financial services sector. At the same time, nearly half of security professionals say that testing too late in the development cycle remains a major source of frustration. So why are we still failing to catch vulnerabilities earlier? The structure and priorities of development and security teams remain at odds for most organizations. In fact, few “shift left” initiatives have successfully gone to plan. 

Developer productivity is still often measured on speed of deployment, at the expense of security. Failing to catch vulnerabilities before code is released overburdens small security teams, stalls code production, and increases the risk of costly data breaches that erode brand trust.

In this on-demand recording from the December 2023 Finance & Risk Cyber Security Summit, HackerOne's CTO, Alex Rice, will demonstrate how we can reframe our thinking, team structures, and culture to recognize that security is a process, not a destination. Security teams must adopt an advisory role for development that embraces how developers work and supports developer-first initiatives to drive secure outcomes.

Shift Left Is Dead: A Post-Mortem.

The Impact of Preemptive Security

Only 10% of IoT vendors disclose timelines for acknowledging and resolving reported threats—and a staggering 73% of consumer IoT companies are in breach of the Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure (PSTI) Act, with no vulnerability disclosure policy (VDP) at all.

David Rogers, MBE, chair of the Fraud and Security Group at the GSMA, and Laurie Mercer, Director of Solutions Engineering at HackerOne, discuss the state of vulnerability disclosure in global consumer IoT, and strategies you can adopt to implement a transparent, productive, and compliant VDP at your organization.

Key Takeaways:

-Learn which companies pass the disclosure threshold test (and which ones fail)
-Get policy recommendations for incentivizing security researchers
-Discover how IoT leaders like Samsung, Apple, and Panasonic structure their VDPs

The Critical Need for Vulnerability Disclosure in the IoT Security Landscape

Achieving actual attack resistance is hard. Security teams are stretched thin, attack surfaces are expanding, and digital threats are increasingly difficult to detect. Automated security can find vulnerabilities in unknown assets. However, visibility alone doesn’t drive meaningful remediation. Findings from automation often lack context and force security teams to spend time combing through false positives to find the few critical vulnerabilities that require fixing. In this session, Chris Evans, CISO and Chief Hacking Officer, and Alex Rice, CTO, will discuss his security strategy for combining the power of automated scanning with the security expertise of ethical hackers to drive down risk and achieve Attack Resistance Management for HackerOne.

Ask a Hacker in 2023

52% of security-conscious enterprises in a recent HackerOne survey don’t know how much of their attack surface is secured, and not one respondent was confident their organization was fully in control of its attack surface.

Any veteran security leader can confirm that organizations rarely know the full extent of their IT infrastructure, but the use of hybrid and multi-cloud environments, adoption of microservice architectures, and inherited assets from mergers and acquisitions make the shortfall more extensive than IT teams could have imagined in the past.

In this webinar, cybersecurity veterans Michiel Prins, co-founder and head of professional services at HackerOne, and Naz Bozdemir, senior product marketing manager at HackerOne, demystify how organizations can gain control over their full attack surface and minimize exploitable risks.

This discussion will cover:
-The consequences of an expanding attack surface and incomplete visibility into it
-The role of Attack Surface Management (ASM) in modern security programs
-Important considerations when selecting an ASM partner
-The impact of combining automation with human security expertise
