Holistic Cybersecurity Strategy : Integrating Pen Testing and Forensics for CISOs’ Decision-Making
As threat landscapes evolve, holistic security strategies are essential for modern organizations to protect their data and business. At the core of any holistic cyber security lies experiential learning and proactive defenses, which necessitates a combination of ethical hacking and forensic capabilities.
Pen testing identifies vulnerabilities, while digital forensics assesses the real-world impact of potential breaches. CISOs can leverage the data collected during pen testing to develop proactive security measures and incident response plans.
The data gathered from digital forensics investigations can feed into the pen testing process, allowing security teams to focus on simulating real-world attack scenarios based on historical incidents.
A holistic cyber security strategy that integrates pen testing and digital forensics is crucial for CISOs’ decision-making. Such an approach combines cyber security’s proactive and reactive aspects, while providing a comprehensive view of an organization’s security posture. With this integration, CISOs can make informed decisions to safeguard their organization’s digital assets effectively.
The current webinar aims to understand how pen testing and forensics can integrate to deliver holistic security.

Abstract:
As threat landscapes evolve, holistic security strategies are essential for modern organizations to protect their data and business. At the core of any holistic cyber security lies experiential learning and proactive defenses, which necessitates a combination of ethical hacking and forensic capabilities.
Pen testing identifies vulnerabilities, while digital forensics assesses the real-world impact of potential breaches. CISOs can leverage the data collected during pen testing to develop proactive security measures and incident response plans.
The data gathered from digital forensics investigations can feed into the pen testing process, allowing security teams to focus on simulating real-world attack scenarios based on historical incidents.
A holistic cyber security strategy that integrates pen testing and digital forensics is crucial for CISOs’ decision-making. Such an approach combines cyber security’s proactive and reactive aspects, while providing a comprehensive view of an organization’s security posture. With this integration, CISOs can make informed decisions to safeguard their organization’s digital assets effectively.
The current webinar aims to understand how pen testing and forensics can integrate to deliver holistic security.
Key takeaways:
- proactive security with penetration testing
- the role of forensics in proactive cyber security
- the need for integrating forensics into pen-testing capabilities
- the development of a forensic-dependent pen testing approach

About EC Council
EC-Council was formed as the result of very disheartening research after the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center. Founder, Jay Bavisi, after watching the attacks unfold, postured the question, what if a similar attack were to be carried out on the Cyber battlefield?
Would the information security community have the tools and resources at their disposal to thwart such an attack?
At that time, the answer was no. EC-Council, officially incorporated as the International Council of E-Commerce Consultants was formed to create information security training and certification programs to help the very community our connected economy would rely on to save them from a devastating Cyber Attack.
EC-Council rapidly gained the support of top researchers and subject matter experts around the world and launched its first Information Security Program, the Certified Ethical Hacker.
With this ever-growing team of subject matter experts and InfoSec researchers, EC-Council continued to build various standards, certifications and training programs in the electronic commerce and information security space.
International Council of E-Commerce Consultants, also known as EC-Council, is the world’s largest cyber security technical certification body.
