Pentesting results allow us to prioritize cybersecurity efforts
When you combine a pentest with the vulnerability mapping efforts of a risk assessment, you can benefit from the added accuracy of the likelihood metric in the risk equation. By performing a penetration test that validates the exploitability of vulnerabilities in your ICS environment, which takes all the aspects and factor/circumstances of that environment into consideration, you attach confidence to the risk scoring those results from the risk assessment process. With this additional confidence, we can prioritize mitigation efforts, which allows us to address the truly biggest risk factors first, thereby increasing the overall return on investment of the risk assessment process and the security program as a whole.
