What is continuous penetration testing?
Continuous penetration testing is a proactive and iterative approach to identifying and mitigating security vulnerabilities in an organization’s systems and networks. Unlike traditional or physical penetration testing, which is typically conducted at specific intervals (e.g., annually or biannually), continuous penetration testing involves regular, ongoing assessments to ensure that security defenses remain robust and responsive to emerging threats.
Our Continuous Security Testing Services
Penetration Testing as a Service at Rootshell is a continuous, outcome-driven approach that combines automated scanning, external attack surface discovery, AI prioritisation (Velma), and expert manual testing.
Instead of one-off engagements, PTaaS delivers recurring testing and measurable remediation workflows so you reduce exposure continuously and demonstrate progress to auditors and the board.
The benefits of continuous pen testing
Bolster your security strategy and ensure year-round protection with continuous security testing.
Year-round protection
A lot can happen between annual penetration tests. Our continuous service tests your digital infrastructure year-round, so you can ensure your security posture is maintained and improved on an ongoing basis.
Prepare for a real-world attack
Penetration tests are one of the most effective ways to evaluate your security posture. By emulating the tactics, techniques, procedures used by hackers, our services truly put your organization’s defences to the test.
Uncover critical vulnerabilities
As the risk of cyber attacks continues to increase, it’s crucial you have complete visibility of your organization’s vulnerabilities. Our continuous pen testing service identifies any vulnerabilities, from low to high risk, so you can take action.
Effectively remediate risk
Continuous pen testing provides you with the data you need to resolve vulnerabilities. Our penetration testers offer expert support so you can remediate as quickly and effectively as possible.
