Continuous Security Testing

Our Continuous Security Testing (CST) service gives you visibility of potential vulnerabilities, across your infrastructure, 365 days a year.  

What is Continuous Security Testing (CST)?

In today’s ever evolving threat landscape, vulnerabilities and exploits are continuously released and automated attacks happen around the clock.

As a result it is more important than ever for businesses to identify vulnerabilities within their estate and monitor changes to their attack surface more frequently than traditional penetration testing activities can allow.

Continuous Security Testing (CST) can be employed to fill the void between more traditional Security Assessments and provide reassurance year-round.

Enhanced Threat Detection

Continuous Security Testing (CST) unveils security risks that may elude traditional Penetration Testing practices, offering a distinct advantage. The ongoing assessment inherent in CST not only identifies vulnerabilities but also brings to light potential issues that might go unnoticed in a sporadic testing approach, emphasising the value of consistent evaluation for bolstering the security of systems and services.

The Continuous Security Testing Process

Continuous security testing, a proactive approach to safeguarding systems, involves ongoing assessments to identify vulnerabilities, offering benefits like real-time threat mitigation, ensuring robust protection, and addressing the evolving landscape of cyber threats.

01

Identify

A combination of automated scanning and manual identification techniques are utilised to find vulnerabilities, exposed services, sensitive information, account details and any other data that could pose a potential risk to your organisation.

02

Confirm

Any identified vulnerabilities and information are verified and categorised with the potential risk it could pose to your organisation.  Information is provided to your organisation using scheduled reports and vulnerability alerts to enable you to react to risks as they emerge.

03

Resolve

Information can be provided to your team in a number of formats which work best for you and your team.  In addition to vulnerability information, remediation advice is provided to enable you to quickly rectify and resolve any issues which are uncovered.

04

Verify

Vulnerabilities which are resolved can be reassessed by the Precursor Security team to confirm the remediation work has had the intended effect and provide you with assurance that the vulnerability is no longer present.

Frequently Asked Questions

We don't leave any stone unturned – here are answers to our frequently asked questions about Continuous Security Testing...

What is the difference between Continuous Security Testing and Penetration Testing?

A Penetration test is a point-in-time assessment, designed to conduct a detailed manual analysis of every threat which may face your targeted system. Continuous Security Testing is an ongoing analysis of the threats that face your systems to provide year-round visibility of any emerging threats.

Why conduct Continuous Security Testing?

Although a Penetration Test is recommended as part of your security testing plan, it typically only occurs on an annual or semi-annual basis. However emerging threats and new vulnerabilities are identified continually. Your systems and your business are continually evolving. CST lets you keep pace with the evolving threat landscape and assess your systems continually.

Who would benefit from Continuous Security Testing?

In general, continuous security testing would be beneficial to all organisations. However, CST would be particularly beneficial for entities operating in fast-paced and rapidly changing environments, as these conditions often make systems more prone to vulnerabilities.

By conducting ongoing assessments, it helps these organisations stay ahead of potential threats, ensuring the adaptability and resilience of their security measures in dynamic landscapes.

What will I recieve as part of a Continuous Security Test?

The deliverable as part of a Continuous Security Test is ongoing and regular vulnerability reports, detailing and contextualising each identified vulnerability against your business and relaying the risks that each issue poses to your systems and services.

The report provides a complete description of what each identified issue is, specific remediation advice on how to address the issue, and detailed evidence, wherever necessary to verify the issues impact.
