"Modern Approach to Continuous Security Testing"

5/5

What do you like best about Pentera?

The ability to similate real world attacks, test the response of my deployed controls to see if they are setup appropriately and as effective as i want them to be. The most striking benefit is the ability to go from point in time, sample based testing to continuous validation and testing ensures better overall security outcomes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pentera?

CART / ASM / BAS tools like Pentera are not a replacement for conventional Penetration Testing, Vulnerability Analysis, etc. but are a good baseline.

Specifically the reporting (dashboard) in Pentera can be improved especially when reporting on an enterprise scale rather than specific applications or environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Actually we are satisfied and do not have something we would dislike - escept maybe some improvment we may wait ( as managing false positive/follow the remediation/actions in the console itself) but that's something the team is aware off and it should come in the roadmap in a near future Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have reorganized our way to manage cybersecurity pentesting , scans, around Pentera , as well as our global strategy.

What problems is Pentera solving and how is that benefiting you?

Pentera helps us do internal pentesting to ensure we don't have any big misconfiguration that could lead to security exposure. We also use the cloud module for a similar purpose, see if there are attacks paths that could lead to privilege escalation, data compromision , etc. We also use Pentera to challenge our other security products EPP/EDR/SOC team... to see if we're able to detect such activities, to train our incident response process and so on.
