• 1 "When a pilot lands an airliner, their job isn’t over. They still have to navigate the myriad of taxiways and park at the gate safely.

You still have to get the report out to the client, and you have to do so securely. Electronic distribution using public key cryptography is probably the best option, but not always possible. If symmetric encryption is to be used, a strong key should be used and must be transmitted out of band. Under no circumstances should a report be transmitted unencrypted. It all sounds like common sense, but all too often people fall down at the final hurdle." - The Art of Writing Penetration Test Reports
