Overview
Environments change every week — new servers, new cloud resources, new misconfigurations. An annual manual penetration test captures a single moment; automated penetration testing helps you catch regressions and new exposures in between.
Our automated testing service uses safe, controlled attack tooling to run common exploitation, credential and lateral-movement techniques against agreed scopes on a schedule — weekly, monthly or after major changes. Unlike a vulnerability scan, it attempts to chain weaknesses and prove impact.
Every run is reviewed by an experienced tester who removes false positives, adds context and escalates anything critical. Automated testing complements — but does not replace — manual testing for business logic and complex applications.

Frequently asked questions
Is automated pentesting the same as a vulnerability scan?
No. Scans list known vulnerabilities; automated penetration testing attempts safe exploitation and chaining to show real attack paths.
Can automated testing replace manual pentests?
Not for compliance-driven or application testing. It is best used between manual tests to catch regressions and new exposures.
Is it safe for production?
Yes, when run with agreed safe-mode settings, exclusions and schedules. We avoid disruptive techniques.
