How does a new application transition from being theoretically secure to real-world secure? Security controls are necessary, but it’s even more important to ensure they are implemented, enforced, and hardened correctly before the application is exposed to the internet. Start with an Application Penetration Test to reveal the most critical areas for improvement and outline a clear path to securing those vulnerabilities. This assessment is performed similarly to an External & Internal Network Penetration Test; an ethical (white hat) hacker scours your site (or network) for low-hanging fruit and hidden weaknesses, so you can put up the right defenses before the hackers in the wild have a chance to attack!

Technology is essential to modern business operations, but cybersecurity risks and data exposure threats come with that. Thankfully, a virtual chief information security officer (vCISO) can bring comprehensive strategic and operational leadership to security for companies that can only afford a part-time person in an executive cybersecurity role. Amid today’s industry-wide shortage of skilled security workers, vCISO could be the best option for finding and retaining critical security leadership.
