However, the question is what are the real benefits of a pentest for the client company?

What is the real value of a penetration test?

Many clients have misconceptions and false assumptions about penetration testing and they are engaging this type of projects for the wrong reasons, like:

Companies who do penetration tests for these reasons do not get the real benefits of this service and they are practically throwing away the money.
