Common use cases include several features. The POC is completed before any customer goes for procurement. Once the POC is done, customers appreciate features such as comprehensive attack surface coverage, real-world attack emulation, and risk-based prioritization and remediation. The comprehensive attack surface coverage includes Omni Attack Surface, External Attack Surface Management (EASM), and Internal Network Validation.
The real-world attack emulation includes safe-by-design exploitation that emulates actual attack techniques and procedures without disrupting business operations. It can perform post-exploitation steps to create a full attack chain. Another feature is agentless deployment, which requires no agents or pre-installations on the customer environment, allowing for quick deployment and validation.
The Mitre ATT&CK alignment aligns attack scenarios with the Mitre ATT&CK framework, providing a standardized understanding of adversary tactics.
The solution is primarily used in BFSI (banking and financial sectors), telecommunications companies, and several large government organizations.
Comprehensive Attack Surface includes several features. Omni Attack Surface discovers, assesses, and exploits vulnerabilities across both internal networks and external assets, including cloud environments from a single platform. External Attack Surface Management (EASM) and Internal Network Validation test internal security controls and identify weaknesses within the internal network.
Automated Penetration Testing features are provided through the Pentera Surface module. Surface provides automated validation and penetration testing features with a proactive, continuous, and highly realistic approach to cybersecurity validation, helping organizations understand and reduce their true cyber exposure. They have AI-based reporting that leverages AI to identify patterns of exploitability over time, aggregate results across sites, and highlight recurring weaknesses.
They offer two types of reports: an elaborate technical report for CTOs and an Executive Summary for management. When customers see the reports after completing the POC, they are impressed by how detailed the technical report is, while management can understand what actions need to be taken to protect their network and infrastructure.
Recent Gartner reports indicate that traditional VAPT companies perform vulnerability testing at specific times, which creates security gaps. Pentera provides continuous validation, running 24/7 in the infrastructure. This means when any vulnerability appears due to firmware upgrades, OS updates, or software changes, it can be automatically identified in real-time.
