Whilst Penetration Testing is a proven method to discover vulnerabilities
within an organisation's external systems, regardless of how thorough a penetration
testing engagement may be, it is limited to a snapshot in time. A system that
may be considered secure today may be found to be vulnerable to a critical security
issue tomorrow. Continuous Security Testing is designed to run alongside an existing
penetration testing program to ensure security vulnerabilities don't go unchecked
between engagements.
Continuous Security Testing combines manual penetration testing activities, delivered
by qualified penetration testers on an ongoing basis, with additional automated security
testing. This ensures that online assets are continuously assessed for vulnerabilities and
alerts raised when issues are detected. Many companies perform in-house vulnerability
scanning, however automated solutions have two key challenges to ensuring a successful
scanning program: interpreting the results and ensuring scan quality.
Continuous Security Testing addresses these challenges by employing a team of Penetration
Testers to manage the testing process and analyse vulnerabilities as they are found. The team
provides concise and detailed vulnerability alerts along with regular reporting of your security
posture. Continuous Security Testing will also alert you when changes are detected within
the environment to ensure maximum coverage of the attack surface.
