Cybersafe Penetration Testing
Identify risks before attackers do
Penetration Tests: Manual Versus Automated
Both manual and automated penetration testing have their pros and cons. Manual testing is more thorough and customizable but is expensive, time-consuming, and subjective. Automated testing is faster, consistent, scalable, and less expensive, but lacks creative thinking and problem solving. The best approach depends on the specific needs of an organization and the complexity of the system or application being tested. A combination of both manual and automated testing can provide the best of both worlds.
