For many pentesters, project management is put on the back burner. Pentesters and even pentest teams work using email, phone calls for onboarding, and Excel files to keep track of which pentests are being performed and when. In some cases, that lack of project...
Pentest-as-a-Service is a pentest delivery model focused on using automation and recurring relationships with clients to reduce costs, improve cybersecurity, and shift the focus of a pentest towards remediating and resolving vulnerabilities. That delivery model offers...
For most pentest teams, the pentest report is the deliverable for all your hard work. The actual testing and assessment are more important, but at the end of the day, the client only ever sees the report. For that reason, some pentesters spend as much as 40% of the...

For most organizations, reaching out to pentesters is an ad-hoc process or something that’s completed when and as regulatory compliance requires it. For most, the process means onboarding with a pentester or a small pentest team to assess assets over a defined period,...
Organizations are more and more likely to use pentesting as part of cybersecurity. While that often relates to compliance and regulatory requirements, it’s also because organizations are more often aware of the fact that they are vulnerable. The cost of a breach is...

For many pentesters, launching a pentest company is a next-step from pentesting on your own, as a consultant or a freelancer. It’s also an opportunity to work with more diverse clients than simply taking on a role in an internal pentest team. The thing is, most...
The primary goal of any pentest is to eventually improve cybersecurity – helping the client to become more secure through awareness of vulnerabilities in their environment. That goal is sometimes pushed to a secondary status, as clients want to pass...
Most pentesters are accustomed to working in a relatively informal way, typically with a small team or no team at all. That often means a relatively unstructured approach, where you use tools, keep track of pentests, and manage results with little to no...
Writing pentest reports is an art form for many pentesters. The pentest report is your primary deliverable, the result the client is actually paying for, and getting it right makes the difference between a happy client or not. If you follow Cyver Core’s blog, you...
Pentesting has changed a lot over the last 20 years but today, delivery remains much the same as it was then. Most pentesters increasingly rely on digital tooling and automation to run pentests – which can save hours of time in pinpointing and...
For most of us, the pentest report is the worst part of pentesting. Never mind that most pentesters spend an average of 30-50% of the total time on a pentest writing the report. The pentest report is the deliverable, the part of your work that clients actually see,...
Today, most pentesters deliver pentest reports via PDF. That’s the way they’ve always done it. That’s likely how most pentest firms imagine they always will do it. But, customer demand is shifting away from the classic pentest report and towards pentest...
Today, the global pentesting market is larger than it has ever been, and worth an estimated $1.6 billion in USD. It’s also expected to grow at some 13.8% per year. That growth is despite competition and encroachment by scanners and different approaches like Red...
10 years ago, nearly all pentests were performed for compliance. Today, that’s changing rapidly. New threats, increasing levels of hacks, and the fact that 60% of businesses are breached all contribute to rising cybersecurity awareness. Organizations are adapting by...
Most pentesters work in a role synonymous with “Cybersecurity consultant”. In fact, many organizations hire them as such. However, that consultant role typically only reflects a small part of what pentesters do. They work with organizations on a one-off basis, in an...
Pentesters are high-skilled, often relying on insight, intuition, and years of building experience to assess and test properties. Pentests themselves are also often complex. Most of us utilize a range of technologies, skills, and testing to assess the security of a...
