This eBook explains how proactive security testing protects organizations against evolving threats. It outlines methods from automated vulnerability scans to penetration testing, red and purple teaming, each revealing different layers of risk. It stresses integrating security across cloud, mobile, IoT, and physical environments, where misconfigurations and overlooked weaknesses often create entry points. Trends include attackers exploiting protocols like DNS, chaining low-level vulnerabilities, and using open-source intelligence to expand attack surfaces. Trustwave SpiderLabs emphasizes continuous, human-led testing to anticipate new tactics, improve defenses, and build resilience against both current and future cyber threats.
