Enterprises shift to software-based pentesting

CISOs are increasingly turning to software-based pentesting as a key method for uncovering security gaps in their organizations. According to Pentera’s latest report, over 50% of enterprises have experienced breaches in the past year, with many citing unplanned downtime and data exposure as significant impacts post-breach. Cyber insurance providers play a pivotal role in driving this adoption, with nearly 60% of companies now implementing new security solutions after being prompted by their insurers. Jason Mar-Tang notes that the rapid pace of IT changes makes traditional testing methods obsolete, emphasizing the need for scalable and technology-driven validation strategies.
