NEW
YORK, July 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- BreachLock
is proud to announce its inclusion as a sample vendor for
Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) in the 2024
Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Application
Security, as well as being one of only two providers
included in as a sample vendor for both the PTaaS and External
Attack Surface Management (EASM) categories in the 2024
Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Security
Operations.
Receiving multiple mentions in several categories in
Gartner® Hype Cycle™ reports underscores
PTaaS as one of the pinnacles of Offensive Security. Organizations
are turning to pentesting more than ever to provide the data needed
to align both security and business objectives. Just in the past
few years, we've seen penetration testing become a driving force
for enterprises that want to implement more proactive security
measures.
As enterprise attack surfaces grow rapidly, largely due to the
increased use of public cloud and the expansion of public-facing
digital assets, the need has risen for application security testing
solutions that:
- Reduce the risk of exploitation by identifying and fixing
vulnerabilities early, minimizing the likelihood of successful
attacks.
- Help lower remediation costs by identifying and fixing
vulnerabilities during the development phase rather than making
costly post-deployment fixes.
- Enhance protection through regular and thorough testing to
ensure that security defenses are robust and up-to-date.
- Increase user trust by helping security teams demonstrate their
commitment to security, which boosts confidence in the
application.
- Build resistance to advanced threats with Offensive strategies
that help prepare organizations to defend against sophisticated
attacks.
Not only does BreachLock deliver all these key benefits with its
PTaaS solution, but also offers full-stack hybrid penetration
testing, overcoming a key obstacle Gartner mentioned - "Most PTaaS
vendors in the market focus on internet-facing digital assets, like
web and mobile applications, which may only partially fulfill
client requirements."
Commenting on BreachLock's inclusion in these reports,
BreachLock Founder & CEO, Seemant Sehgal, states, "It's an
honor to be included in multiple Hype Cycle reports in 2024 for
both PTaaS and EASM. Today, organizations need offensive security
solutions that cover the entire attack surface, internal and
external, across all assets. We understand the need for both
human-driven and on-demand continuous pentesting, providing a
hybrid approach and the flexibility, scalability, and speed so
customers can test what they want, when they want."
In the Hype Cycle for Application Security, Gartner specifically
recommends that users, "Favor hybrid scanning models that combine
human analysis and automation to increase both effectiveness and
efficiency."
Overall, Gartner's recognition of BreachLock in the PTaaS
category, especially at its peak in the Hype Cycle, validates the
company's innovative approach to addressing the increasing
complexity and security challenges of application security. The
BreachLock PTaaS delivery model provides application security
solutions like Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), Static
Application Security Testing (SAST), Fuzz Testing for APIs, and
Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) to ensure
comprehensive security testing for applications from design through
deployment.
