We didn’t use automated penetration testing much. It was acting a bit like a man in the middle. It was responding to broadcast requests and broke all the reporting in the warehouse. The problem was in our organization. However, the vendor can improve automated penetration testing to prevent such situations. I will recommend the solution to others. There's not much competition. It's quite a niche product. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

We use Pentera for routine security assessments by demonstrating vulnerabilities to customers. For example, we show them how fixing one vulnerability, like SMB, can address related vulnerabilities. Customers appreciate the visual map view of their security landscape provided by Pentera. Pentera helped uncover a critical vulnerability for a company during the pandemic. They had in-house servers with an SMB v2 vulnerability and were using legacy software or operating systems. We demonstrated the risk by conducting ransomware testing on these unsupported servers, highlighting the urgent need for mitigation. Automated penetration testing with Pentera has boosted our team's efficiency. Manual testing required extensive reporting and specific exploitation of vulnerabilities, which was time-consuming. Pentera streamlines the process, reducing the time and costs associated with generating reports and pinpointing vulnerabilities quickly. Pentera's vulnerability detection capabilities have about 90% accuracy, based on personal experience. While it accurately identifies most vulnerabilities, there are instances where reported vulnerabilities are not exploitable upon further testing. New users should consider demonstrating Pentera's capabilities to their company. Automation helps uncover hidden vulnerabilities, improving security and highlighting areas for enhancement. Overall, I would rate Pentera as an eight out of ten.
I don't operate the system. I will recommend the solution to others for automated security validation. It is scalable and easy to set up and use. Overall, I rate the tool a nine out of ten.
About four individuals are involved in the maintenance of Pentera. Pentera's maintenance is done by the ICT security and compliance officer, cybersecurity analysts, and infrastructure administrators. Pentera is a very good product, but it takes some time for you to learn and understand it. I would recommend Pentera to other users. Overall, I rate Pentera an eight out of ten.
Vulnerability Management (VM) is a critical cybersecurity process focused on identifying, evaluating, and mitigating vulnerabilities in IT systems. It helps organizations protect their networks and assets by proactively managing security weaknesses before they can be exploited by threats.
The solution is suitable for enterprises. I rate it a nine out of ten.
