Listen "The Business Owner's IT Podcast Ep. 29 - CIS Control 18: Penetration Testing"
Episode Synopsis
Join us as we wrap up the CIS Control series with a deep dive into CIS Control 18: Penetration Testing—a critical step for identifying and addressing vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them. Learn the key differences between penetration testing and vulnerability scans, and find out why hiring skilled professionals (white hat hackers!) can be essential for businesses working with compliance-heavy industries like NIST or DoD contracts.

📌 What You'll Learn:
✅ What penetration testing is (and what it isn’t!).
✅ Real-world examples of penetration testing scenarios.
✅ Why automation and AI can't fully replace human expertise.
