Pentest as a service (PTaaS) delivers continuous automated pen testing for your Internet exposed assets. It combines hyperautomation with human experts to increase reactivity and efficiency.
Unlike traditional pen tests, which deliver a formal report at the end of the test, PTaaS provides real-time reports and alerts. This allows internal teams to tackle vulnerabilities immediately.
Founded in 2015 by entrepreneurs and long-time information security enthusiasts, Yogosha was born from the deep conviction that the approach and understanding of cybersecurity must change. The company’s vision is to connect researchers and clients, enabling the latter to benefit from the former’s expertise in detecting and fixing vulnerabilities.
Unlike traditional pentesting, which takes weeks and can disrupt user experiences and development workflows, PtaaS enables testing to take place in real time, making it more responsive to changes and allowing for quicker action on the results. This is made possible by leveraging automated pentesting and human testing on a single platform.
Featured customers include HealthEast, Carlson Wagonlit Travel, Xcel Energy, Broadridge, and more. Its risk scoring feature helps users identify and rectify vulnerabilities. Its unified platform also offers a suite of services including detection and response, maturity assessment, and pentest as a service.
Vulnerability Operations Center
Uncover critical vulnerabilities and secure your assets with Offensive Security Testing. This is a comprehensive penetration test that uncovers web-based, mobile and desktop application vulnerabilities. It also detects critical network weaknesses to protect your organisation from cyberattacks.
Unlike traditional pentests, which deliver reports only at the end of the engagement, PTaaS delivers results continuously throughout the testing process. This allows internal teams to identify and correct vulnerabilities before they are discovered by hackers.
With this unified platform, you can accelerate your pentesting processes and improve vulnerability management. With a centralized view of your vulnerability data, you can also leverage automation and improve security visibility. This allows you to save money and achieve faster compliance with industry standards. It’s a win for developers and security professionals alike!
Continuous reporting
PTaaS eliminates traditional limitations, such as the need to wait until testing is complete to get results. This allows developers to fix issues quickly, reducing their vulnerability risk and improving the security posture of their products. Moreover, PTaaS allows stakeholders to interact with pentesters in real time. This helps to identify vulnerabilities that could be missed by automated scanners.
Using a PTaaS solution can reduce the cost of penetration tests, as the customer only pays for what they use. This saves the costs of hiring in-house testers or paying for a subscription to a vulnerability management service. In addition, PTaaS enables companies to implement and scale their security testing in a DevOps workflow. It also provides better reporting through trend analysis and accelerates remediation.
Bug bounty
Bug bounty can be a useful tool for finding critical vulnerabilities, especially in mature environments. However, it’s important to remember that this is a time-consuming process that requires an investment of human and technical resources. It’s also important to communicate clearly with hackers and to be willing to tolerate a certain amount of hazard.
The best way to mitigate this risk is to screen your digital assets using other forms of testing, such as pentests and automatic scanners. This will eliminate the bulk of vulnerabilities and allow your teams to focus on the most critical ones. Another important consideration is to communicate regularly with hunters, so they can keep up with changes in your products. This will give them a sense of ownership and encourage them to participate in your program.
Integrations
Unlike traditional penetration testing, which requires point-in-time assessments, PTaaS provides continuous vulnerability monitoring. This approach reduces security gaps and enables organizations to take a more proactive approach to protecting their digital assets.
PTaaS platforms integrate seamlessly into the software development lifecycle (SDLC), making it easy for developers to find vulnerabilities, prioritize them, and fix them before they reach production environments. This can save valuable time and resources for security teams.
Some PTaaS providers offer direct collaboration with pentesters to align the assessment with the SDLC and drive more focused remediation. These tools also allow you to track and view consolidated pentest data over time, saving direct costs by reducing the need for additional tests.
