I think it greatly depends on the kind of pentesting. A military network is different from a bank, or an AWS site, or a social network.
It's a guess, but I would suspect the market is saturated -- by opportunists, not talent -- leading to necessarily high-touch sales and high barrier to entry, but not oversupply.
- seanwasere 9y agoi would agree, oversupply of oppurtunists, not talent. the talent is being criminalised.
- hd4 9y agoWhat sorts of barriers to entry? Purely the fact that there is a lot of noise vs. signal in terms of low-grade operators? Or is it more to do with learning the requisite skills?
- PeterisP 9y agoSelling the service to end customers has a high barrier of entry, in part due to chicken-and-egg problem of reputation and connections. Doing work for/with someone who is doing the sales part well doesn't have a big barrier of entry IMHO.
