Penetration Test Methodology: PTES, OWASP, OSSTMM and BSI Guidelines
Comparison of leading penetration testing methodologies: PTES, OWASP Testing Guide, OSSTMM, BSI Guidelines (BSI-CS 115), and TIBER-EU for the financial sector. Including phase models, scope templates, test types, reporting standards, and penetration testing certifications for German companies.
Summary: Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) is a technology that continuously and automatically simulates cyberattacks to identify security vulnerabilities in real time—without the need for manual penetration testers. BAS platforms test detection (does the SIEM detect the attack?), prevention (does the firewall block it?), and response (does the SOC respond correctly?) based on MITRE ATT&CK® techniques.
