Pen Test Arrest: 5 Years Later

Episode 3: On September 11, 2019, two cybersecurity professionals were arrested in Dallas County, Iowa and forced to spend the night in jail -- just for doing their jobs. Gary De Mercurio and Justin Wynn ultimately found themselves used as pawns in a very public and ugly power dispute between the local county Sheriff's office and the state, forced to justify the physical penetration test that the state of Iowa had hired them to conduct. Despite the criminal charges against them eventually being dropped, the saga that night five years ago continues to haunt De Mercurio and Wynn personally and professionally. In this episode, the pair and Coalfire's CEO Tom McAndrew share how the arrest and fallout has shaped their lives and careers as well as how it has transformed physical penetration tests for the cybersecurity industry as a whole.
