Most organizations believe they are moving fast enough until they see the data on how quickly the world’s most mature security teams actually resolve high-risk findings.

Join Gunter Ollmann, CTO at Cobalt, and Wade Baker, founding partner at Cyentia, as they dissect the latest research into how the world’s leading security teams are (and aren't) adapting their pentesting cycles for the era of machine-speed threats.
