Why traditional pentesting is not enough anymore?

Why traditional pentesting is not enough anymore?

When it comes to pentesting, companies require immediate access to the skills they need. Large security consulting firms commonly adapt a "one-size-fits-all" approach to pentesting. There is usually an expectation among the clients who hire a security consulting firm, to get assigned the best resources possible for the project, aren’t they right? The problem is that this process is often led by a human/project manager.

Why do we think it's a problem? Simply, when using an adaptive model, this process would be completed by a matching algorithm, which guarantees we deliver the best resources to every project rather than who is available (regardless of task complexity or area of specialization). 

Pentesting frequency is insufficient for many businesses

55% of businesses who engage pentesting services only do so once or twice a year. - Pcysys study

As per “Pcysys” study, 55% of businesses who engage pentesting services only do so once or twice a year. Pentesting frequency is seen as insufficient by 40% of businesses, and 58% are only moderately satisfied with their pentesting firm.

There are certainly a few disadvantages to the traditional pentesting approach and some of them are:

1. The preparation step takes up far too much time and is often repetitive.
2. Information will not be released until the final report is completed.
3. Prolonged response time.
4. Inaccurate and incomplete results.
5. Findings that are not actionable.
6. There is a big disconnect between the security researchers and development teams.
7. Inflexibility – limited potential for optimization or automation.
8. Expensive when compared to other alternatives.
