Penetration tests are an integral part of compliance initiatives like PCI-DSS and SOC 2. However, with 56% of consumers still dissatisfied with results, the issue may be less the pen-testers, as much as the “on staff.”

Check out this article for a look into the challenges, opportunities, and outcomes for the different testing models — and what you should consider before launching your next pen test.

Read on to learn:

• Why compliance is no longer the #1 reason for security testing, and what other factors play a role.
• Eight major issues with traditional penetration testing, and what they mean for security teams.
• What the results from a recent survey of security leaders tell us about the current state of penetration testing.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology Cyber Security Framework (NIST CSF) outlines leading business policies and technological requirements for managing risk. The framework consists of five concurrent and continuous functions: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. This guide specifically focuses on key technological CSF requirements for four of the functions and explains how they map into controls within a cloud computing environment. Arm yourself with the information you need to ensure that your cloud compliance platform is equipped with the appropriate tools to align with NIST CSF.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF) is designed as a foundational protocol for companies to follow to ensure an organization’s infrastructure is secure. Complying with NIST guidelines could also help achieve compliance with other regulations, such as HIPAA, FISMA, or SOX.

Read on this article to get a handy checklist of requirements that can be used to evaluate security solutions to protect your cloud computing environment based on the NIST Cyber Security Framework (CSF). Serverless architectures are inherently more secure, but there are nuances that organizations need to mitigate to ensure both security and compliance. Read on this article to learn:

• The drivers for NIST compliance
• NIST cloud security framework
• 6 critical capabilities of a cloud compliance solution
• A checklist of requirements to evaluate cloud security vendors that assess your adherence to NIST CSF controls
• NIST CSF controls and recommended actions to ensure compliance
• New factors that make continuous compliance for NIST CSF an imperative
