What is the Ideal Penetration Testing Frequency for You?

Security testing hasn’t just fallen behind—it’s playing the wrong game in a world where product teams ship updates like software streams, testing once a year is akin to locking the doors after the party has ended. It’s not just late; it’s irrelevant. Most orgs still treat pentests like performance reviews: formal, infrequent, and disconnected from the day-to-day reality. But risk doesn’t work on an annual schedule.

Spring 2025 Product Updates: What's New at Astra Security

Dev teams work in sprints. Security threats don’t. As the code runs fast and releases the ship daily, security often plays catch-up. Not because the teams do not care, but because most of the tools are not actually designed for modern teams. Result? There is a long list of unresolved issues. A lot of alerts. Limited visibility. And in the rush to ship, security still gets treated as a blocker instead of a baseline. Meanwhile, the risk keeps growing.

10 Best IoT Security Companies in 2025 [Expert Opinion]

Security vendors love dashboards with polished interfaces, graphs, alerts, and AI-powered insights. But as a CTO, you don’t need another dashboard; you need security that works when it matters. When an attack slips through, the UI won’t save you—only real-time detection, automated defenses, and a team that responds before you even call will. The best IOT security companies don’t just sell tools; they embed security into the fabric of your infrastructure.

What are API Security Scanners and How to Choose the Right One?

APIs are business-critical assets, yet organizations overlook proper API security, relying on outdated tools built for web applications instead of modern API-driven ecosystems. The problem isn’t just bad coding practices but also API visibility, authentication gaps, and unchecked business logic flaws. API security requires dedicated and specific testing that understands how APIs are attacked; traditional scanners fail to keep up with that.

Salesforce Penetration Testing Guide: Steps, Tools & Best Practices

Ask any CTO if they pentest their web apps, APIs, or cloud infrastructure; the answer is almost always yes. But ask if they’ve ever pentested their Salesforce environment, and you’ll likely get a silent—or hesitant- “Doesn’t Salesforce security cover that?” Here’s the problem: Salesforce is not just a CRM. It’s an application stack, a data warehouse, and a workflow engine—all deeply integrated with your business operations.
