Securing modern-day production systems is expensive and complex. Teams often need to implement extensive measures, such as secure coding practices, security testing, periodic vulnerability scans and penetration tests, and protections at the network edge.

The frequency and severity of cybersecurity attacks are increasing with each passing year. That's why many organizations are now putting greater focus on different ways to withstand online attacks. There are also regulations like HIPAA, PCI, GDPR, and DSS that mandate periodic penetration testing in order to remain current with all requirements.
