Summary

Hide ▲

Security teams are increasingly adopting automated pentest delivery to address inefficiencies in traditional reporting methods. Automation platforms like PlexTrac enable real-time delivery of pentest findings, improving actionability, response times, and remediation processes. This shift is driven by the need for faster insights and tighter handoffs in a dynamic threat landscape. Automated delivery reduces delays and manual work, allowing teams to focus on strategic initiatives. Key components include centralized data ingestion, automated real-time delivery, standardized remediation workflows, and triggered retesting. Service providers and enterprises benefit from improved operational maturity and reduced mean time to remediation (MTTR).
