How to Dramatically Decrease CyberAttacks on Your Systems

Mehul Panchal

CyberAttacks have been massively increasing in numbers day by day. This trend will continue aggressively due to the rise of Artificial Intelligence.

Most businesses would suffer as their functionality is huge and not secure enough. Unsecured functionality is directly proportional to the number of cyberattacks. But I have a plan to secure every bit of functionality.

In this article, I’m going to share my plan. So that you can implement it and ensure greater security of your systems.

Your Hidden Weaknesses Could Be an Open Invitation to Hackers

Your company’s security is like a locked door of a house. You might think it’s secure because it has a big, shiny padlock. But what if there’s a window left open, or a hidden back door you’ve forgotten about? Cyberattacks often happen in exactly this way.

Many businesses focus on obvious vulnerabilities while their hidden weaknesses — known as the attack surface — remain wide open for hackers to exploit.

And the scary part: you might not even know these weaknesses exist until it’s too late.

Why Automated Tools Alone Don’t Solve the Problem

Most businesses rely on automated tools to find security vulnerabilities. These tools are far from perfect. Here’s how:

  1. Missed Weak Spots: Automated scanners can overlook critical vulnerabilities, especially in complex systems. A malicious hacker can easily outsmart an automated scanner, even AI-powered ones.
  2. False Positives: These tools often generate long lists of potential threats, many of which aren’t real problems. This is a waste of time and resources.
  3. General Mitigation Guidelines: Resolving the found vulnerabilities requires a really good explanation, tailored according to the system in question. But automated tools provide general mitigation guidelines, which is none of use.
  4. Unresolved Issues: Even after fixing the vulnerabilities detected by automated tools, companies still face breaches. Malicious hackers find and exploit weaknesses creatively.

The result? Attacks keep happening, even after you’ve done your effort.

To counter this, I’ve come up with a great solution. You see, automated tools and Artificial Intelligence can’t match a human’s creativity. Specifically when that human is an expert manual hacker.

But what outsmarts both automation and AI, is an expert manual hacker using automation and AI assistance. And that’s the ultimate solution to cover undiscovered attack surfaces.

Let me explain.

Manual Penetration Testing with AI Assistance

To dramatically decrease cyberattacks, we need to think like a malicious hacker. That’s where manual penetration testing comes in.

What Is Manual Penetration Testing?

Manual penetration testing (often called “pentesting”) is a process where trained cybersecurity experts act like malicious hackers. They try to break into your systems using real-world methods. Unlike automated tools, they approach your systems creatively and from all angles. They explore areas that a machine would never think to check.

It’s like many simulations of real-world malicious cyber attacks.

You know why it works?

  • Complete Attack Simulation: Pentesters don’t just run scans, they simulate the strategies used by cybercriminals, covering every possible entry point.
  • Human Expertise: Skilled professionals adapt to your unique systems, uncovering vulnerabilities that automated tools miss.
  • Prioritization: Instead of overwhelming you with false alarms, pentesters focus on real, high-risk threats, helping you address what matters most.
  • Mitigation: Pentesters further guide and help you fix the vulnerabilities found during the penetration tests.

Here comes Artificial Intelligence:

While human experts are essential, AI can supercharge their efforts. Advanced AI tools help pentesters analyze complex systems faster, identify patterns, and predict potential attack vectors.

It’s the best of both worlds: human creativity and machine efficiency.

How can this help your business?

By investing in AI-powered Manual Penetration Testing, you can:

  • Reduce Your Attack Surface: Discover and secure hidden vulnerabilities before hackers find them.
  • Avoid Costly Breaches: Save your company from financial loss, reputational damage, and legal troubles.
  • Sleep Better at Night: With comprehensive testing, you can be confident that your systems are truly secure.

Hackers are always evolving, and your security needs to keep up. Automated tools alone can’t protect your business. Manual penetration testing, powered by AI, gives you the edge you need to stay ahead.

Don’t wait for an attack to expose your weaknesses.

You can do this yourself or we can do this for you. We handle simulated hacking and you handle everything else. Contact me today to take the first step towards dramatically reducing cyberattacks on your systems.
