The truth is hard to swallow sometimes, but the reality is this: PENTESTING IS DEAD. Yes, you heard it right. Dead. Finito. Mortis. And if your career is attached to pentesting, it may be picking out its own headstone: "Here Rests Carl's Career, Confined to PenTesting, Now Instead of Buying Islands It's Laying Here Resting." The data is concrete, the statistics are irrefutable. The opportunity in cybersecurity has transitioned from breaking things to building things. CEOs and executives throughout North America are becoming less interested in proving negatives, and more interested in proving competitive advantage. Cybersecurity has become synonymous with business and the decision is yours - be part of the problem, or be part of the solution.
