How to identify unknown assets while pen testing

This sponsored article highlights the limitations of traditional penetration testing—such as sparse asset coverage, blind spots, infrequent assessments, and failure to detect unknown assets—and recommends integrating External Attack Surface Management (EASM) with Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS). By continuously discovering and monitoring all internet-facing assets and feeding that inventory into PTaaS, organizations can prioritize risks with context-aware scoring, achieve broader and more continuous coverage, and reduce exposure to threats, exemplified by Outpost24’s EASM and PTaaS offerings.
