What is Pentest as a Service (PTaaS)?

Pentest as a Service provides real-time, continuous pentesting of applications and infrastructures, traditionally carried out by humans once a year. It works with a combination of hyper-automation and humans to increase responsiveness and efficiency.

For Internet-exposed (outward-facing) assets, it's sometimes referred to as Continuous Automated Red Teaming (CART).

Why Pentest as a Service (PTaaS)?​

Attackers scan Internet to find weak assets and exploit them. At least, you must be able to do the same on your assets.

Pentesting is crucial in cybersecurity and mandatory in several compliance standards, but traditional pentesting can process continuously or would be too expensive. Pentest as a Service (PTaaS) allows continuous testing and real-time alerting.

“Pentest as a Service (PTaaS) is new on the market but was anticipated by Patrowl and Gartner since 2019:

  • Continuous security posture assessment can help security and risk management leaders discover gaps in their defense

  • Continuous exposure assessments help them discover gaps in their business knowledge”
