Traditional Pen Testing vs. PTaaS with Web Application Security
2023-06-15 14:02

While traditional penetration testing has long been the go-to method for identifying security gaps in a organization's network and web application, a new approach has emerged: penetration testing as a service.

PTaaS combines the thoroughness of traditional pen testing with the continuous vigilance of scanners offering a new perspective on security testing.

PTaaS revolutionizes the traditional pen testing model by introducing a continuous approach to web application security testing.

In contrast to traditional pen testing, which offers a one-time view of vulnerabilities, PTaaS provides ongoing monitoring and testing of web applications.

Some industry professionals view PTaaS as a dynamic solution that combines the benefits of automated testing with human expertise, providing a more continuous and adaptive approach to security testing.

Through continuous feedback, interactive communication, and real-time insights, Outpost24 provides a PTaaS offering that elevates the standard of web application security testing.
