In this episode, we’re peeling back the layers of the question so many organizations ask: Why do penetration tests cost so much? But here’s the real twist—are they actually expensive, or are we measuring their value the wrong way?

By the end of this episode, you’ll understand not just the cost of a penetration test, but its value as an investment in protecting your business. We’ll dive into real-world examples, break down the factors that drive pentest pricing, and explore how it compares to the costs of incidents like data breaches, ransomware, and PR disasters. Let’s get started.
