Penetration testing delivers value only when findings move quickly from discovery to verified remediation, not when they get stuck in manual reporting and handoff steps.

Keypoints
- Penetration test findings often stall because teams rely on manual handoffs across multiple systems.
- Traditional reports are useful, but they should not control the remediation workflow.

- Verified retesting is needed to confirm risk reduction, not just ticket closure.
