Continuous security monitoring is essential for organizations to safeguard their web applications against cyberattacks. This is particularly crucial considering the vulnerability of internet-exposed web apps that contain personal identifiable information (PII), as highlighted in a recent report.
Description
Outpost24 offers a range of continuous security monitoring solutions, including Outscan NX, SWAT [1] [2], Sweepatic [1] [2], and Threat Compass [1] [2]. These solutions are designed to navigate the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape and provide ongoing protection against vulnerabilities. Additionally, Outpost24 provides organizations with the option to choose between a pen testing as a service (PTaaS) solution or a standard pen test for web applications.
PTaaS offers several advantages, such as a predictable cost model, access to security experts [1] [2], and continuous protection. On the other hand [1], standard pen testing is more suitable for occasional checks and non-web assets [1] [2]. By prioritizing vulnerabilities and optimizing cybersecurity posture, continuous security monitoring helps organizations reduce the risk of data breaches and strengthen their overall cybersecurity measures.
Conclusion
Continuous security monitoring plays a crucial role in mitigating the risk of data breaches and enhancing overall cybersecurity measures. By leveraging solutions like Outscan NX, SWAT [1] [2], Sweepatic [1] [2], and Threat Compass [1] [2], organizations can proactively protect their web applications from evolving vulnerabilities. The choice between PTaaS and standard pen testing allows organizations to tailor their approach based on their specific needs. As the cybersecurity landscape continues to evolve, continuous security monitoring will remain a vital component in safeguarding organizations’ web applications and protecting sensitive information.
