Optimised penetration testing strategies: greater efficiency through automated attack simulation

Penetration testing has long been the method of choice for assessing security vulnerabilities. Today, the automation offered by Breach & Attack Simulation (BAS) platforms is establishing itself as an obvious and necessary complement.

Limitations of traditional penetration testing

• High costs and long duration
• Varying levels of expertise in the face of rapidly changing IT environments
• Limitations of unit testing
• Enhanced regulatory compliance (NIS2, DORA, TIBER-FR)

Breach and Attack Simulation: the benefits

• Real-time results
• Extensive and repetitive coverage
• Optimisation of resources
• Improvements to SOC monitoring
