Gartner’s top security threat and pentesting vs continuous scans – what you missed from Hack Yourself Stockholm 2021

Detectify's Hack Yourself event in Stockholm serves as a platform to explore the evolving field of External Attack Surface Management (EASM), a cybersecurity trend emphasized by Gartner in 2021. EASM focuses on identifying risks from internet-facing assets, highlighting a growing need for organizations to understand and manage these threats. The event revisits discussions from a previous gathering in 2021, featuring insights from IT Security Specialist Jesper Larsson, Sprinkler Security co-founder David Jacoby, and Detectify CEO Rickard Carlsson, who address current security practices and their shortcomings, such as the over-reliance on templates and lack of technical depth. They emphasize that security is not just a tooling issue but involves education, visibility, and cultural integration within organizations. Penetration testing remains a critical method for vulnerability detection, but it often lacks in scenario-specific assessments aligned with modern-risk frameworks. The event offers speaker sessions and panel discussions on EASM challenges, encouraging a security culture integrated with continuous development to combat the ever-expanding attack surface.
