What is Automated Penetration Testing?

Automated penetration testing refers to the process of employing software tools to swiftly detect web application vulnerabilities and risks. It enhances scalability, efficiency, and effectiveness, especially when integrated into DevSecOps practices. This budget-friendly solution complements traditional manual testing by swiftly uncovering web app security issues.

Benefits of Automated Penetration Testing Services

1. Efficiency: Unlike manual testing, which is slow and resource-heavy, automated tools swiftly scan for vulnerabilities, ideal for fast-paced development. This ensures consistent, systematic testing, minimizing human error and producing reliable results.

2. Scalability: As an organization grows and develops new software, automated security penetration testing can adapt to the increased testing demands without significantly increasing the required resources.

3. Continuous Testing: By embedding automated pen testing in the CI/CD pipeline, organizations proactively address security at each development stage, preventing issues from reaching production environments.

4. Risk Mitigation: Automated penetration testing services swiftly uncover vulnerabilities and security risks, allowing organizations to promptly address critical issues. This ensures rapid feedback and security maintenance without hindering development.

Steps in Automated Penetration Testing

1. Plan and Prepare: First, we clearly define the scope and goals of the automated penetration test. We then identify the target systems, applications, or networks to be tested and specify security aspects to be assessed, such as web application vulnerabilities, network configurations, or database security. 

2. Scanning and Vulnerability Assessment: Next, we gather your device, system and network information through digital reconnaissance, like IP addresses and firmware versions. Then, we use automated tools like the Astra software for vulnerability scanning to uncover known weaknesses.

3. Penetration Testing: Our software uses various techniques like brute-force attacks and code injection to pentest the above vulnerabilities. If successful, our software assesses the impact and explores any other potential risks.

4. Reporting and Remediation: Lastly, it compiles a comprehensive report summarizing the findings, potential impact, and possible remediation ideas to help your team get started in the right direction. A re-scan should be carried out after the vulnerabilities are fixed to assess the quality of the patches.

Astra's Complete API Pentesting Platform

What is penetration testing service?

Penetration testing services, or a pentest, is a methodological service for improving an organization’s security posture by identifying, prioritizing, and mitigating vulnerabilities in its digital infrastructure. It stimulates a real-world attack to pinpoint and exploit vulnerabilities discovered to understand their impact and criticality. It can be automated or manual.

However, a combination of the two is defined as Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaas), which leverages human intelligence, automated tools, and agile delivery methodologies to find vulnerabilities in a given scope continuously.*

Are VAPT & Pentest the same things or different?

Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing (VAPT), Penetration Testing & Pentest all are often used interchangeably and are the same things. If you are looking for any of these, Astra Security will be happy to help you with it, we’re the leaders in the space and loved by businesses of all sizes.

Do you fix the found vulnerabilities too?

We do not fix the vulnerabilities. That’s principally against the activity of penetration testing. As a pentest service provider, our job is to find vulnerabilities and verify the fixes implemented by your team. However, we are happy to answer if you have any questions around strategies you are implementing while fixing the vulnerabilities.

Who performs the VAPT/Pentest?

The VAPT/Pentest service is performed by our in-house certified pentesters who have industry standard certifications like OSCP, CEH, CREST, eJPT, AWS etc. Our talented team of pentesters are experts at performing hacker-style pentests, and have 30+ CVEs under their name. They also are active contributors to open source initiatives like the OWASP.

How does the pricing work?

The pricing for API Security Platform depends on the number of APIs endpoints you have. You can check pricing right here

I have a specific scope, can you tailor the pricing?

Absolutely, you can schedule a call with our sales engineers. In the call they review the scope, show our platform and are happy share a tailored pricing specific to your needs.
