As a pentester, I have a good day when my workflow is smooth and uninterrupted. Pushing routine tasks to the background (sweet automation!) helps me stay focused. It frees up my mind to work on interesting findings and attack sequences that not everyone can see. Plus, it feels good to be productive and get stuff done!
Giving you the tools you need right now to speed up detection and reporting is always our top priority. Especially when your work is essential to effectively prioritize remediation. So, with every monthly update, we strive to do just that.
When you hear about API (Application Programming Interface), do you get anxious because you don’t understand it very well? Do you feel like you can’t keep up with new technology? If you do, you’re not alone! Take a deep breath. Take another. Excellent! I’ll help you overcome your API security FOMO. In this guide, you’ll learn: how APIs work how to exploit the most common API vulnerabilities real-life examples of data breaches caused by API security issues API security best practices, and much more!
Hope 2022 is off to a great start for you! Supporting your security efforts is what we do, so here’s a fresh batch of platform updates we rolled out at the end of 2021. Why check them out? Because they’ll help you get more work done, faster with the same tools and features you know (and hopefully love!).
What you're about to see is a blend of worn-out keyboards, stubborn research, gallons of coffee, and a dash of frustration, all catalyzed by listening closely to what you, our customers, really want. Mix all of these and you get more than a product, more than a team that’s growing a company on its own terms.
Let me say this from the start: full automation is the wrong approach for scaling penetration testing. The whole “machines will replace humans” view doesn’t sit well with us. It’s too simplistic and it fails to capture the complexity and depth involved in security testing and the larger information security ecosystem. So how come we launched pentest robots - an automation feature - at Black Hat Europe 2020?
Citrix systems are very popular, even famous, one could say. They even sponsor Formula 1 teams! But despite their notoriety, they use the FreeBSD OS on their devices and plain PHP for web services, so I got easy access to the code and analyzed it.

If there’s anything we learned from years of working in infosec is this: don’t make assumptions without knowing the context and make decisions based on reliable data. With that in mind, we’ve put together this extensive list of penetration testing statistics and relevant data that shed light on many aspects of the industry.
