Pentesting as a Service (PTaaS)

Pentesting as a Service (PTaaS)

Pentesting as a service (PTaaS) provides point-in-time and continuous application and infrastructure penetration testing services, which traditionally relied heavily on human pentesters using commercial/proprietary tools. Delivered as a SaaS platform, PTaaS leverages a combination of automation and human pentesters to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of results. 

Pentesting is a foundational security program mandated by various compliance standards. PTaaS enables faster scheduling and execution, real-time communications with testers, and visibility of test results. It also provides API access to integrate with existing DevOps and ITSM tools for workflow automation. 

PTaaS provides access to a large pool of testers with specific subject matter expertise, and provides on-demand and continuous scanning of internal and external infrastructure and applications, cost optimization and quality improvement of pentesting. PTaaS helps organizations with limited in-house security expertise acquire pentesting services to meet compliance and risk management objectives, and can be integrated into an organization’s CI/CD pipeline.
