Authored by: PlexTrac Author Posted on: February 20, 2024 Get Ready to Prioritize Risk With Our New Contextual Scoring Engine Introducing PlexTrac Priorities for proactive risk quantification What if you could go beyond pentest reporting and management with a platform that enables you to streamline your offensive security workflows from start to finish? With PlexTrac, you can. Our new module, PlexTrac Priorities, is the industry’s first configurable contextual scoring engine that empowers security service providers and enterprises to: Prioritize risks based on real impact — Ditch generic scoring and tailor it to your unique risk tolerance or industry-specific needs. Automate workflows — Streamline processes from assessment to remediation for maximum efficiency. Identify underlying issues — Unearth patterns in your data to prevent future vulnerabilities from recurring. Demonstrate value from your continuous validation efforts — Prove the effectiveness of your security program with continuous risk reduction. Unlike other solutions that offer limited configurability, PlexTrac Priorities provides unparalleled visibility into risk factors, enabling teams to make informed decisions and prioritize remediation efforts effectively. Having the ability to prioritize remediation efforts is a game changer. Even with limited resources, your team or your clients’ teams, can tackle the most impactful risks first — significantly improving risk posture. See PlexTrac Priorities in action In this demo video, Dan DeCloss, PlexTrac founder and CTO, runs through the Priorities Module, showing you just how easy it is to group and prioritize findings, measure risk, and demonstrate the value to key stakeholders. PlexTrac’s Priorities Join the list of customers already benefiting from Priorities Early adopters of Priorities have been recognizing results and they’re looking forward to the move to continuous assessments and validation. As David Schloss, Director of Offensive Security, Echelon Risk + Cyber, explained, “PlexTrac’s new risk-based prioritization capabilities will help us shift from point-in-time testing to more continual engagements — enabling us to provide deeper value to each client by customizing a contextual risk scoring equation that clearly communicates their highest impact risks on an ongoing basis.” To hear from Echelon Risk + Cyber — as well as PlexTrac security experts — on the benefits of Priorities, watch our Webinars page for an upcoming live event.

Bridging Red and Blue Teams With Automated Pentest Delivery For decades, security programs have been shaped by a familiar dynamic: red team versus blue team. Red teams think like attackers, probing systems through attack simulation to uncover weaknesses. Blue teams defend, detect, and respond, working to validate vulnerabilities, remediate risk, and keep the business running. In theory, this tension is healthy. In practice, it often creates friction.

The Most Popular Penetration Testing Tools in 2026: 30 Products to Support Your Pentesting Efforts This Year Penetration testing is a crucial part of cybersecurity and involves finding and exploiting vulnerabilities in networks, applications, systems, or physical environments before the bad actors can. Penetration testing also plays a key role in continuous threat exposure management. Point-in-time testing is no longer enough, and continuous penetration testing is key to effectively identifying and mitigating... READ ARTICLE
The Operational Gap Between Pentest Reports and Real Remediation Most security teams invest in pentesting with the expectation that it will lead to real risk reduction. Skilled testers identify meaningful attack paths, validate impact, and provide remediation guidance that is technically sound. In most organizations, the quality of the pentest itself is not the problem. The friction starts after the report is delivered. Security... READ ARTICLE
