# [Penetration Testing the Cybersecurity Maturity Model (CMM)](https://www.secureworld.io/resources/pentesting-the-cs-maturity-model)

 Written by [SecureWorld News Team](https://www.secureworld.io/resources/author/secureworld-news-team) | 8 PM Z

Many organizations have heard of or used the Cybersecurity Maturity Model (CMM) to help improve their overall security posture. In many cases, the results provide a broad view that meet a predetermined requirement, i.e. audit, assessment, or gap analysis. This presentation considers the valuable output produced from that process and provides, through live demonstrations, a comprehensive look at what would happen if those vulnerabilities identified previously are compromised at an operational security level.

**Learning Objective #1**  
Operational Cybersecurity Exposure: A method by which to measure the maturity level of the organization’s operational security

**Learning Objective #2**  
Actions Matrix: Will provide an active template to identify actionable components of internal operations that map back to the technology security layers

**Learning Objective #3**  
High Level understanding of mapping vulnerability assessment (NIST) versus penetration testing output to CMM.
