Automated Network Pentesting: Your Secret Weapon in Cybersecurity

The Security Strategist

Traditional manual testing done once a year to meet your compliance requirements is no longer sufficient. The threat landscape is changing at lightning speed, and your defenses need to keep up. That’s where automated network testing comes in! It’s like having a tactical SWAT team on standby, ready to spot exploitable vulnerabilities and provide you with remediation tactics whenever you need them.

You will be able to quickly uncover weaknesses before the bad guys can exploit them. These real-world attack simulations can be run on a weekly, monthly, or quarterly basis, giving you the upper hand in bolstering your security posture.

In our latest podcast, join Richard Stiennon, Chief Research Analyst at IT-Harvest, and Alton Johnson, Founder of Vonahi Security, as they dive into why automated network pen testing is the answer to securing your network against cyber threats year-round.
