SSL/TLS issues come up all the time during PenTests and explaining the technical detail of all of the different TLS configuration options can be quite difficult - so I put together a handy guide!

When should you change PenTesting provider: Swap every year or stick with a specific tester longer?
Swapping gives a fresh pair of eyes but sticking with a tester will lead to them having a deeper understanding of your systems.
Mix it up or stick with it?
