=====================

An approach to security testing where penetration tests run regularly or on every change, rather than as periodic engagements.

DevSecOpsCI/CDcontinuous security

Continuous pentesting integrates penetration testing into the software development lifecycle, running security assessments on every significant change rather than waiting for scheduled quarterly or annual tests. This shift-left approach catches vulnerabilities earlier, when they're cheaper and faster to fix.

With AI-powered platforms like APVISO, continuous pentesting becomes practical and cost-effective. Teams can trigger comprehensive security assessments on every deployment, merge request, or on a scheduled basis, ensuring that new vulnerabilities are caught before they reach production.

How APVISO tests for this: APVISO supports scheduled pentests and on-demand testing that integrates into your CI/CD pipeline. Set up recurring assessments on a weekly or monthly cadence, or trigger pentests via API after each deployment to maintain continuous security coverage.
