Welcome to The Chaos Talks, your go-to podcast for cutting-edge insights into cybersecurity and GRC. In today’s episode, we’re diving into the world of penetration testing frameworks, shining a spotlight on two industry standards: the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES) and the Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual (OSSTMM).
Penetration testing is more than just finding vulnerabilities—it’s about understanding and reinforcing your organization’s entire security posture. We’ll break down how the PTES equips practitioners with technical tools and step-by-step guidance for identifying weaknesses, while the OSSTMM offers a holistic approach, factoring in trust metrics, organizational dynamics, and the often-overlooked human element.
Join us as we explore these complementary methodologies, uncover best practices, and discuss how they can empower your security team to conduct thorough and effective assessments. Whether you’re a seasoned security professional or just curious about ethical hacking, this episode is packed with actionable insights you won’t want to miss.
