IntigritiPentesters, for example, might test a shiny new customer portal but completely miss critical vulnerabilities in interconnected systems that fall outside of their designated scope. Vulnerability scanning, meanwhile, is adept at flagging known issues but falls short when it comes to identifying complex, multi-step attack chains that a persistent hacker might discover. They act as an ongoing, real-world test of your security, helping identify weaknesses that may not be obvious or detectable throug....
