About This Expert Series
As cyber threats grow more sophisticated, organizations can no longer rely solely on defense--they need to go on the offensive. This Expert Series will cover the implementation of an effective penetration testing (pentesting) strategy.

From planning and execution to post-test reporting, this session provides actionable insights for IT professionals on enhancing their organization's proactive cybersecurity measures. The audience of IT decision makers and influencers will hear from a security expert provided by ActualTech Media. As a sponsor, you'll only need to provide a promotional slide, while ATM will handle all aspects of audience development, event production, and lead delivery. Position your brand as a crucial player in helping businesses preempt and mitigate potential breaches!

Vendor Fit
Companies specializing in security testing tools, penetration testing services, and vulnerability management solutions will find this event an ideal platform to promote their offerings.
