Secureworks warns that untested cybersecurity assumptions leave organizations exposed. The paper advocates for adversarial testing—realistic simulations of cyberattacks—to identify and address unseen vulnerabilities. It recommends iterative, collaborative testing cycles to validate both defensive and offensive assumptions, improve team skills, and guide strategic fixes. Benefits include reduced risk, better tech decisions, smarter budgeting, and improved compliance and insurance outcomes. Organizations that treat testing as an ongoing, scientific process—not a one-off event—gain the clearest insights into their security posture.
