From my Gartner Blog – Big data And AI Craziness Is Ruining Security Innovation

I don’t care if you use Hadoop or grep+Perl scripts. If you can demonstrate enough performance to do what you claim you can do, that’s what matters to me from a backend point of view.

From my Gartner Blog – BAS and Red Teams Will Kill The Pentest

With our research on testing security methods and Breach and Attack Simulation tools (BAS), we ended up with an interesting discussion about the role of the pentest. I think we can risk saying that pentesting, as it is today, will cease to exist (I&#82… Continue reading From my Gartner Blog – BAS and Red Teams Will Kill The Pentest
