Into the Mind of a Hacker: A Penetration Tester's Perspective

Risk factors such as third-party access, limited IT and security resources and specific regulated guardrails for cybersecurity policies and procedures have a direct correlation of a company’s susceptibility to a cyber breach. While new vulnerabilities present new vectors to target, attack techniques remain fundamentally the same: discover, analyze, attack and exploit. Assuming attackers will continue to find a way through, the key to reducing risk is understanding how they target and execute their attacks.
