CBTS has announced the launch of Penetration Testing as a Service, leveraging industry-leading autonomous penetration testing capabilities. The new service helps organizations move beyond point-in-time annual testing with autonomous penetration testing and CBTS security expertise to validate exploitable risk, reveal real attack paths, and prioritize remediation as environments evolve.
CBTS launches PTaaS combining NodeZero autonomous testing with expert review.
Validates which vulnerabilities are actually exploitable in client environments.
Demonstrates attack paths chaining multiple weaknesses together.
CBTS security experts review every assessment with customer-specific guidance.
Flexible testing cadence: daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly.
Every finding comes with 100% proof of exploitability.
Cloud environments, SaaS applications, connected systems, third-party relationships, and AI systems are expanding enterprise attack surfaces faster than traditional testing cycles can track. Vulnerability exploitation now outpaces stolen credentials as attackers' top way in, with AI narrowing the gap between disclosure and exploitation from months to hours. CBTS built PTaaS on NodeZero to autonomously perform penetration tests across live production environments without disrupting operations. CBTS security experts review the results of each assessment, providing customer-specific context and remediation guidance.
The service provides clients with validated exploitability based on testing within the client's environment, helping security teams focus on risks attackers can actually exploit; attack path analysis showing how multiple weaknesses could be chained together to compromise critical systems; expert review from CBTS penetration testing and ethical hacking professionals; customized reporting that helps prioritize remediation; and flexible testing frequency allowing organizations to choose daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly cadence. Every finding comes with 100% proof of exploitability.
"Environments don't stand still, so threat identification can't either," said Ryan Hamrick, Director, Security Practice, CBTS. "Traditional penetration testing gives organizations a valuable snapshot, but that snapshot can age quickly as new vulnerabilities, configurations, identities and systems are introduced. CBTS PTaaS helps clients continuously verify which risks are actually exploitable in their own environment, understand how attackers could chain them together, and prioritize remediation with confidence."
"Organizations are moving beyond point-in-time assessments to continuous security validation, and partners like CBTS are helping make that transition practical," said Tim Mackie, Global Vice President of Worldwide Channels, Horizon3.ai. "By combining the autonomous penetration testing capabilities of NodeZero with CBTS's security expertise, organizations can continuously validate exploitable risk, prioritize remediation based on evidence, and strengthen their security posture as their environments evolve."
