Automation Is Redefining Pentest Delivery
"Pentesting remains one of the most effective ways to identify real-world security weaknesses before adversaries do. But as the threat landscape has evolved, the way we deliver pentest results hasn't kept pace. Most organizations still rely on traditional reporting methods-static PDFs, emailed documents, and spreadsheet-based tracking. The problem? These outdated workflows introduce delays, create inefficiencies, and undermine the value of the work."
"Delivering a pentest report solely as a static document might have made sense a decade ago, but today it's a bottleneck. Findings are buried in long documents that don't align with how teams operate day-to-day. After receiving the report, stakeholders must manually extract findings, create tickets in platforms like Jira or ServiceNow, and coordinate remediation tracking through disconnected workflows. By the time remediation begins, days or weeks may have passed since the issues were discovered."
Pentesting identifies real-world security weaknesses before adversaries exploit them. Traditional static report delivery—PDFs, emails, and spreadsheets—creates delays, manual extraction, and disconnected remediation workflows. Automation delivers findings in real time through rules-based workflows, enabling immediate action, faster remediation and retesting, and consistent processing of every finding. Automation scales as organizations adopt Continuous Threat Exposure Management and increase testing frequency. Real-time delivery improves visibility across the vulnerability lifecycle, accelerates handoffs to teams and ticketing systems, and reduces manual work so security teams can focus on higher-value tasks.
