Why Learning about Penetration Testing at Info-Tech LIVE 2024 is Crucial to Exponential IT

This year's theme is "Exponential IT in Motion", reflected by the following agenda lineup:

• 50+ feature and technology keynotes

• 60+ breakout and workshop sections

• 60+ industry roundtables and panels

• 80+ lightning rounds

• 700+ analyst discussions

• Unlimited peer-to-peer networking opportunities

In 2024 and beyond, penetration testing plays a critical role in the exponential enhancement (and integration) of IT. Given the complexity of today’s evolving threat landscape, teams across all industries are faced with an important question: how capable is your team at preventing, detecting, and responding to today’s most advanced adversaries?

Penetration testing is one part of a broader risk management program that seeks to answer that question... as well as ensure that an enterprise can sustain safe, reputable business operations indefinitely.

Penetration testing, also known as pentesting or ethical hacking, is a simulated cyberattack carried out by security experts to expose vulnerabilities in an organization’s IT infrastructure. By identifying and exploiting these vulnerabilities, pentesters can empower organizations to strengthen their defenses against real-world attacks.

Key benefits of proactive pentesting include, but are not limited to:

• Bolstering your security posture

• Protecting employee and client data

• Safeguarding brand integrity 

• Ensuring business continuity

• Meeting–or surpassing–regulatory compliance requirements (HIPAA, SOC 2, etc.)

• Providing in-depth remediation opportunities

• Enhancing cross-team security education

Alongside penetration testing as an invaluable component of successful offensive security strategies, our team will be available to discuss what tailored strategies may best suit your organization–including the potential factoring-in of Dark Web Monitoring or Objective-Based Penetration Testing.

Conclusion

Info-Tech LIVE has been deemed a "must-attend event" for technology leaders.

Scheduled from September 17th to 19th, 2024, at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, this premier event will gather global IT executives and professionals to engage with thought leaders, participate in interactive sessions–and gain actionable insights to drive their organizations' technological advancements and innovation.

No leader can guarantee security if their organization’s tools, technology, and people haven’t been stress-tested, which is what makes penetration testing a critical component of any successful cyber program. In today’s modern cyber threat landscape, the speed in which a team responds means the difference between being down for a day and being down for over a month... and part of having exponential IT in motion is guaranteeing the fastest, most accurate cyberattack response time possible.

We look forward to seeing you there.
