One month into my new Head of Penetration Testing role, and the learning curve has already been steep (in a good way).
Lessons learned:
- Change works best in stages, not all at once.
- I can’t (and shouldn’t) do everything.
- Delegation isn’t optional - it’s essential.
Wins so far:
- We’ve delivered some awesome pen tests.
- Focused on high-value, bespoke testing tailored to each client rather than rigid, one-size-fits-all methodologies.
- Expanded our team’s experience and capabilities across more technologies.
Plenty more to learn but I’ll get there!
