Topic:
Interactive Tabletop Exercise - How much Pen Testing is Enough?

Overview:
At our upcoming Dinner Presentation, Paul Petefish will challenge one of the most deeply held assumptions in enterprise security: That Annual Pen Tests are Enough.

In this session, Paul Petefish will introduce the Continuous Penetration Testing Methodology (CPTM) — a structured framework that transforms offensive security from a point-in-time event into an always-on function.

You'll walk away understanding:
✅ Why annual pen tests are failing to reflect real organizational risk
✅ How CPTM maps to — and exceeds — NIST, PTES, OWASP, and MITRE ATT&CK
✅ What it takes to run continuous offensive security at scale
✅ How to shift executive risk conversations from pass/fail to measurable, ongoing reduction

This one is for security leaders and practitioners who are ready to move beyond checkbox compliance and toward a future where your testing never stops.

About the Speaker: Paul Petefish is an offensive cybersecurity leader, entrepreneur, and researcher with over 20 years of experience. A former penetration tester, he is the co-founder of Evolve Security, where he has spent the past decade building next-generation offensive security solutions.
He is the creator of the Continuous Penetration Testing Methodology (CPTM), a framework that modernizes traditional testing into an always-on security control aligned with today’s cloud-native environments, building on standards such as NIST SP 800-115, PTES, OWASP, and MITRE ATT&CK and designed to integrate across modern security channels and tooling.

Paul is also a patent holder, published vulnerability researcher, guest lecturer at the University of Chicago, and a recognized cyber expert for ABC and CBS Chicago, advancing how organizations measure and manage cyber risk.
