Frequently asked questions
What is an automated penetration testing service?
Automated penetration testing uses AI-driven tools to continuously simulate real-world cyberattacks across web, API, and cloud environments. It detects and validates vulnerabilities faster than manual methods, combining automation with expert review to ensure accuracy, eliminate false positives, and deliver prioritized, compliance-ready remediation insights.
How does automated penetration testing work?
The process begins with discovery and scoping, followed by authenticated testing of web apps, APIs, and cloud assets. Automated scans detect known and emerging threats, while experts validate findings, assign risk scores, and provide developer-focused remediation guidance. Targeted rescans confirm fixes and maintain ongoing compliance and security maturity.
How does it compare to manual penetration testing?
Automated penetration testing offers continuous, scalable coverage and faster detection, while manual pentesting provides deeper exploit validation and human insight. Astra’s hybrid approach combines AI for breadth with experts for precision, delivering a comprehensive, zero-noise assessment that keeps pace with modern CI/CD and dynamic threat landscapes.
How often should automated penetration tests be run?
Automated pentests should run continuously or at least after every major update, infrastructure change, or release. Many organizations schedule daily or weekly delta scans, monthly full assessments, and quarterly expert reviews to ensure zero false positives, ongoing compliance, and early detection of newly introduced or emerging vulnerabilities.
How much does an automated penetration testing service cost?
Astra Security’s automated penetration testing plans start at just $69 per month, with trial options available for as low as $7. All plans include comprehensive vulnerability scanning, detailed reports, and continuous support, offering businesses an affordable, scalable, and reliable way to strengthen their security posture.
Do automated penetration tests support compliance requirements?
Yes, automated penetration testing aligns findings with frameworks like ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, and NIST, with reports and continuous compliance tracking that help teams demonstrate security maturity, accelerate certifications, and maintain year-round readiness without manual effort or fragmented assessments. An annual pentest report is still required in addition to the above to achieve and renew compliance certificates.
