NetSPI Recognized in the 2022 Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Security Operations
Minneapolis, Minnesota – NetSPI is a market leader in penetration testing and attack surface management, and today it has been named a Sample Vendor for Pentesting as a Service (PTaaS) in the 2022 Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Security Operations (SecOps).
This Gartner’s Hype Cycle SecOps includes entries across the SecOps space that “aim to help security and risk management leaders strategize and deliver effective response and remediation.”
We believe our inclusion in this year’s report validates NetSPI’s PTaaS model.
The core benefits of NetSPI’s Resolve™ platform in three core areas include:
- Hybrid automated and manual testing approach: NetSPI leverages a combination of automation and human pentesters to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the results. With automation, NetSPI alleviates many of the mundane vulnerability management tasks for organizations—enabling more manual pentesting to find and fix business-critical vulnerabilities.
- Real-time validation and faster remediation: NetSPI’s PTaaS model delivers a platform that enables faster scheduling and execution, and real-time communications with testers and visibility of test results. By providing access to real-time findings, NetSPI enables earlier remediation of vulnerabilities.
- Support for teams with limited in-house security experts: NetSPI provides customized and tailored guidance throughout the life cycle of each assessment to support internal teams facing the pressures of the security skill gap.
“To us, this acknowledgment by Gartner further cements our approach to delivering innovative vulnerability and risk management solutions to today’s top enterprises,” said Travis Hoyt, CTO at NetSPI. “Traditional penetration testing is dead. PTaaS allows organizations to remediate faster, receive support from expert pentesters, and implement a strategic approach to offensive security.”
According to Gartner, “the adoption of remote work, and increased use of mobile devices and cloud services have not slowed over the last 12 months. This has led to expanded requirements for organizations to track risk and threats to a wider set of digital assets. With the expansion of digital business functions and third-party-managed assets, security and risk management leaders must reevaluate how their business-critical environments change security strategy and tooling.” The report also mentions that “pentesting is foundational in a security program and mandated by various compliance standards. PTaaS enables organizations to elevate their security posture through continual assessment, and integrates validation earlier in the AppDev cycle by giving access to real-time findings delivered through the platform, therefore enabling faster treatment of vulnerabilities.”
