Penetration testing companies

Pentest as a service platforms and autonomous testing tools.

What to look for

A penetration test shows how an attacker could get into a company's systems and how far they could move once inside. Testing is now sold two ways: human-led engagements booked through a platform, and autonomous tools that run attacks against a network on demand. Human testers are better at finding flaws in the logic of custom web applications and APIs. Autonomous tools can rerun internal network tests weekly or monthly within a fixed annual price.
