Workshop Description:

Title: The Pentest They Didn't Teach You: Communication > Exploitation!
Abstract:Everyone focuses on the technical skills needed for penetration testing—exploitation, privilege escalation, capturing flags. But the real difference between pentests that deliver value and those that waste money isn't technical prowess, it's communication. This talk reveals the communication failures that torpedo engagements before they start: poor scoping, unprepared environments, mismatched expectations, and unusable reports. Whether you're commissioning your first pentest or managing your tenth, you'll learn how to vet providers, prepare properly, and structure engagements that actually deliver value instead of just checking compliance boxes.
