The Power of Continuous Penetration Testing

As organisations continue to become more reliant on technology, cyber security threats become more frequent and sophisticated. With more and more data being stored online, it’s crucial that organisations protect their systems and data from cyber attacks. Penetration testing is an effective way to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in an organisation’s cyber security defences, but traditional penetration testing has limitations.

Why Penetration Testing is a Measure of Engineering Quality | Jonathan Care

Jonathan Care, a cybersecurity expert and analyst, explains why penetration testing is not just a compliance requirement, but a function of engineering quality. He challenges the traditional view of penetration testing as a separate activity and argues that it should be integrated into the development cycle. Watch this video to learn more about how security testing can help you improve your engineering solutions and reduce your risks.

Continuous Penetration Testing: discover the Razor's Edge platform from Razorthorn

Welcome to Razor's Edge, the Continuous Penetration Testing platform from Razorthorn Security. The essence of Razorthorn’s Next-Gen Continuous Pen Testing service, Razor’s Edge, is to help find vulnerabilities, verify them and perform base level exploitation to provide organisation-specific risk scores and mitigation advice to improve the overall security of an environment. We work to a schedule of scanning, testing and reporting defined by the client for the duration of the contract length.

A Snapshot in Time Why Penetration Testing Is Critical for Cybersecurity

When Megan Brown, Jonathan Care, and I explore the world of penetration testing, we uncover the missing links between the testing itself and having a secure organisation and patched vulnerabilities. In this episode, you will learn how to maximise the potential of your penetration tests and increase the depth of your organisation's cyber security.“Pen tests on their own don’t do anything if you don’t have a way of tracking the issues, resolving the issues.”

How to get the most out of your pen test remediations

Security often feels like an uphill battle. Let’s say your organisation has done the basics – you’ve got Cyber Essentials certification, and also started regular penetration testing. Firstly, congratulations – you’re well on your way to stopping the majority of opportunistic attacks. But after the pen test comes the report, and for business who aren’t prepared, a whole new problem emerges: how do you tackle the remediations effectively?

Penetration Testing vs Vulnerability Scanning: What's the Difference?

Penetration Testing (also known as pentesting or ethical hacking) is a simulation of an attack on a computer system, network, or web application to identify potential security vulnerabilities and gauge the effectiveness of existing security measures. These are typically performed by cybersecurity professionals with specialised knowledge and experience in identifying and exploiting system vulnerabilities.

How to Choose the Right Pentester: A Comprehensive Guide

Penetration testing is, perhaps, the most effective method to make your web and mobile app more resilient to attacks. No wonder penetration testing is expected to become a $4.5 billion industry by 2025. While penetration testing is powerful, finding the right Pentester can be tiring. And if you end up hiring the wrong individual/company, you might risk your app's security even further. However, we got you covered.

Static analysis + penetration testing = More than the sum of their parts

Static analysis + penetration testing delivers a powerful punch in any software due-diligence effort. In the world of tech merger and acquisition (M&A) transactions, timing is everything. It’s important for prospective buyers and investors to understand as much of the target’s software assets’ security, quality, and legal posture as possible in a brief amount of time. This drives the need to conduct multiple assessments on a target’s code simultaneously.
