How Today’s Pentest Models Compare and Why Continuous Wins

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2026-03-08 15:01:11

As threat actors grow faster, stealthier, and more persistent, the approach to pentesting needs to keep evolving. Traditional, periodic assessments no longer keep up with rapidly changing attack surfaces. Static tests offer a snapshot, but attackers see a live stream. Security testing needs to shift testing models to mirror how real-world attackers operate. At Sprocket Security, our Continuous Penetration Testing (CPT) solution is an always on, always active, and hybrid pentesting model. In th

The agency he leads announced that it would cut its workforce by 20,000, and cancelled billions of dollars in federal funding for research and public health.

I am a huge fan of Richard Feyman’s famous quote: “What I cannot create, I do not understand” I think it’s brilliant, and it remains true across many fields (if you’re willing to be a little creative with the definition of ‘create’). It is to this principle that I believe I owe everything I’m truly good at.
