Cloud security testing requires more than one scanner. Modern cloud environments combine infrastructure, identities, APIs, applications, containers, managed services and continuously changing configuration. Each layer creates different failure modes, so security teams usually need…

95% of enterprises prioritize pentesting, yet only 32% of the attack surface gets tested. Synack and Omdia surveyed 200 U.S. security leaders on agentic AI adoption in pentesting.
