Is it time to retire 'one-off' pen tests for continuous testing?

This sponsored article argues that annual, point-in-time penetration tests are inadequate for modern agile development and highlights how Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) enables continuous, real-time security validation. Citing the 2024 Verizon DBIR’s emphasis on web app vulnerability exploitation, it promotes continuous assessments that integrate with development workflows, provide instant findings, enable direct tester–developer collaboration, support unlimited retesting, and supply dashboards and audit trails for both remediation and compliance. Outpost24’s CyberFlex offering is presented as a hybrid solution combining automated scanning with expert manual testing to deliver ongoing visibility across the web application attack surface and reduce breach risk.
