Episode 166: Why Your Pentest Didn’t Make You Safer
About this episode
In this episode, we explore why many organizations invest in penetration testing yet see little improvement in their actual security posture. We discuss the common pitfalls of treating pentests as one-time events, how attackers operate very differently from scoped assessments, and why remediation—not the report—is what determines real safety. If you’ve ever wondered why “passing” a pentest didn’t translate into stronger defenses, this episode is for you.
