Timeboxed Penetration Testing - Pulse Security’s Approach
Penetration testing cost is directly correlated to how long an engagement takes to complete. Sometimes the target system or organisation is so vast that a review that achieves what we’d consider “complete” coverage is prohibitively expensive. This article discusses how Pulse Security tackles timeboxed testing engagements. We’ll discuss the problem, how testing is prioritised in an engagement with reduced time-frames, the importance of transparency between penetration testers and clients, and what you can expect from a timeboxed engagement.
