NetSPI Attack Surface Management vs. Astra Pentest

Attack Surface Management plays a crucial role in pinpointing both recognized and unrecognized public-facing assets that might be susceptible to vulnerabilities, as well as any modifications to your attack surface that could represent threats. This function is facilitated by a combination of NetSPI’s cutting-edge ASM technology platform, the expertise of our global penetration testing professionals, and a wealth of experience accumulated over more than twenty years in the field of penetration testing. You can have confidence knowing that the ASM platform continuously operates in the background, providing you with the most comprehensive and up-to-date view of your external attack surface. By embracing continuous testing, organizations can adopt a forward-thinking approach to their security strategies. The ASM platform is driven by advanced automated scan orchestration technology, which has proven effective in our penetration testing endeavors for many years. Furthermore, we utilize a hybrid strategy, employing both automated and manual methods to consistently discover assets, while also harnessing open source intelligence (OSINT) to access publicly available data resources. This comprehensive strategy not only empowers us to identify vulnerabilities but also significantly strengthens your organization’s defense against the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats. In a world where cyber risks are constantly changing, having a proactive and dynamic security posture is more critical than ever.
