Although organizations strengthen their security ties, yet attackers work harder. However, a pen testing company suggests that most of the organizations are making progress in securing their systems against cyber attacks. They gather aggregated data from penetration tests and red team engagements to highlight the vulnerabilities that companies rectify to secure their networks, systems, and applications. With the help of their external and internal assessments, pen testing companies highlight that although organizational networks continue to depict multiple weaknesses, thus, attackers may have a hard time identifying and exploiting them from outside the network. Security organizations face big huge challenges that result in complex security hygiene, patch management, password quality and lack of visibility. Thus, the attackers are forced to change their tactics and employ malware-free, approaches to conceal malicious activities. It is due to the exploitation of the environment, now organizations need tools and technology to observe normal system functions to determine if they are being used maliciously. The pen-tests engagements are performed to see all the similarities it could find across enterprise networks. Data from hundreds of pen-tests showed that accounts with weak and easily identifiable passwords are one of the biggest problems for most of the organizations. ...
