How many of us have used or heard of the Penetration Testing Execution Standard aka PTES? How many have thought about or attempted to contribute? PTES has great popularity within the Information Security community, however, it needs more support and contributions to fully meet the goal of becoming a full formal standard. We as Information Security Professionals have to stand together and contribute some work. If we do not build a formal standard then someone else will, eventually. We will discuss the process to contribute and even share our story on how we submitted our contributions.
