The art of security industry futurology is not for the faint of heart and I deeply respect the artists. To predict not only what will happen but also when and how long it will last, a hefty amount of courage and intrepidness is required. In this article I intend to counter-predict Brian Chess’s 2009 prediction: Penetration Testing: Dead in 2009. Penetration testing is an information security practice that is at least 35 years old, and its origins can be traced back to the Multics Security Evaluation performed by the US Air Force in 1974 and IBM’s Penetrating an operating system.”]
