As software proliferates and DevOps takes hold, we conducted this study to understand the impact of utilizing Pentest as a Service (PtaaS) vs. traditional pentesting services. Within the backdrop of modern software development practices and rising appsec priorities, our study found that DevOps is a driving force for pushing pentest into the cloud and deploying Pentest as a Service. Furthermore, DevOps demands that appsec measures are delivered in a fashion that favors communication, transparency, and collaboration- PtaaS is exactly the evolution that addresses those aspects.

As more organizations move to the cloud and public cloud platforms gain more users and offer more services, cybercriminals will find ways to launch attacks and profit from compromise. As we’ve demonstrated in this research, misconfiguration in cloud services opens an organization to risks like cryptojacking, e-skimming, and data exfiltration. Container technologies in the cloud, when exposed, also pose similar risks. Finally, mismanagement of credentials and other secrets have costs that can grow as threats move across the cloud stack.
