Pen Testing Reality Check : Why Cybersecurity Fundamentals Still Matter More Than AI | Aaron Crow

Shiny tools don’t break attackers in basic mistakes. In Episode 92 of Protect It All, host Aaron Crow sits down with Corey LeBleu, founder of Relix Security and seasoned penetration tester, for a candid look at what actually causes organizations to get compromised and why fundamentals still matter more than the latest security trends. Drawing from years of red-team and penetration-testing experience, Corey shares real stories from the field: forgotten printers, unmanaged IoT devices, legacy systems no one owns anymore, and misconfigurations hiding in plain sight. Together, Aaron and Corey unpack why asset visibility, patching, and change management continue to be the weakest links - even as AI and automation enter the security conversation. You’ll learn: Why old printers, IoT devices, and “temporary” systems are prime attack paths What most organizations misunderstand about pen testing and red teaming How poor asset inventory and change management undermine security programs The real risks behind shadow IT and unmanaged tools Where AI helps in pen testing and where experience still wins Why mastering the basics beats chasing new security gadgets every time Whether you’re a security professional, IT leader, or someone looking to break into cybersecurity, this episode delivers practical, no-nonsense lessons from the front lines - focused on what actually reduces risk. 🎧 Tune in to hear why cybersecurity success still starts with the fundamentals - only on Protect It All.
