Many alternatives now exist, including red teams, assumed breach assessments, and even specific tests like cloud penetration tests. Even if, like many companies, you must have a penetration test done for an audit requirement, you can select the test that best suits your security and budgetary needs. Sometimes, one of the technical tests may not even be the right solution for you.
