What is PTaaS or Penetration Testing as a Service?
Annual security testing is no longer sufficient to defend against ever-evolving cyber threats. PTaaS goes beyond mere scanning and testing, integrating seamlessly with your existing security program. It combines these tools with the expertise of seasoned security professionals, who perform in-depth analysis, providing richer insights than automated tools alone.
Gartner’s definition: “PTaaS providers deliver penetration testing (pentesting) services by combining automated tools and human expertise. Security and risk management leaders must evaluate the benefits of “as-a-service” offerings alongside traditional pentesting to determine the best choice or mix for their organization.”
Rootshell’s Pentesting as a Service and our PTaaS Model
We offer penetration tests, managed vulnerability scanning (MVS), attack surface management (ASM) and red team assessments as part of a combined PTaaS security package. This is offered as a 12-month contract and as part of that, you will receive your results and data through The Rootshell Platform. Read more about red team services in cyber security.
