Pen testing aids businesses in ensuring the security of their IT systems, but it should never be applied universally. Conventional methods can be inflexible, cost your company money and time, and yield subpar outcomes. Certain typical components of the traditional method could result in substantial expenses, both monetarily and in terms of the time spent by your staff.
Knowing the actual cost of the procedure is essential. You must receive value for your money. Pen testing has obvious advantages.
But there are some hidden costs that might not be immediately obvious. They include administrative overheads, scoping complexity, disruption and remediation. They can also pose significant risks of disruption for your team, including operational disruptions during the testing window.
The dangers of "scope creep," which occurs when a pen test expands beyond its initial objectives, result in more work and expenses for both the internal team and the outside testers. Pen testing is essential for protecting your company's systems, but a state-of-the-art feature doesn't have to be expensive.
