How PTaaS works
Pen testing is an effective way to detect flaws in your application before they turn into a serious threat. But traditional pen testing delivery takes weeks to set up, and the results are point in time. This leaves critical application vulnerabilities exposed longer, while the average time for a threat actor to weaponize a new vulnerability gets shorter.
A new wave of automated pen tests conducted through a SaaS delivery model can fix this problem. PTaaS provides you with a view into your vulnerability finding in real-time via a dedicated portal. By switching to a PTaaS solution, such as Outpost24’s SWAT, you can achieve a deeper level of security monitoring and risk detection.
Continuous Pen Testing with SWAT
Continuous penetration testing as a service with our SWAT solution offers organizations a dynamic and ongoing approach to application security, ideal for fast-paced DevOps environments. Unlike traditional pen testing, which is periodic and reactive, PTaaS allows tests to be triggered whenever needed, providing better control over costs and more frequent assessments. Outpost24 takes this further with a hybrid model that combines human-led penetration testing with automated scanning. This fusion enables continuous monitoring and proactive vulnerability detection, ensuring your applications stay secure while minimizing delays in your development cycle.

PTaaS eliminates the need for frequent vendor rotation by streamlining the pen testing process. Traditional pen testing often involves onboarding new vendors, which can be both time-consuming and costly. Some organizations choose to rotate vendors in order to benefit from different testers’ specializations and expertise, as each tester may uncover vulnerabilities that others might miss. However, with PTaaS, this concern is effectively addressed. Outpost24’s PTaaS offers a larger pool of skilled testers and encourages creative testing, ensuring a fresh perspective on your web application security. Our experts are always on standby to address any problems that arise, providing comprehensive coverage and eliminating the hassle associated with vendor rotation.
