However, maintaining the security of publicly facing networks is challenging as network environments are constantly evolving, new services are being offered and new security vulnerabilities are constantly being discovered in existing services.

Why do I need this in addition to manual penetration testing?
Manual penetration testing is highly valuable and necessary but is usually conducted on an annual or less frequent basis. Over the course of a year, new vulnerabilities will emerge which may not be visible to security managers until their next manual test. The purpose of this is to provide more frequent assurance on the security of your organisation’s internet-facing infrastructure and complement annual penetration tests.
