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.

The Missing Link Between Pentest Findings and Fixes Why Every Security Program Needs a Mobilization Coordinator Pentests rarely fail because testers miss something critical. In fact, that part usually goes pretty well. The breakdown almost always happens after the report is delivered. Findings sit untouched. Some get half-fixed. Others disappear under the weight of sprint deadlines, operational noise, or the vague hope that... READ ARTICLE
The Automation Imperative: Why Pentest Delivery Must Catch Up With Continuous Testing Security feels a lot like Whac-A-Mole these days. Between cloud-native architectures, microservices, APIs, and rapid deployment cycles, cybersecurity threats are constantly popping up and redefining how software is built and delivered. Yet penetration testing, which is a proven method for identifying exploitable weaknesses, remains a point-in-time snapshot.In some cases, annual penetration tests don’t even happen.... READ ARTICLE
Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly known as Kenna) Is Going Away: PlexTrac Can Help Teams Move Forward If you’ve been around vulnerability management for a while, you probably saw the news: Cisco is sunsetting Cisco Vulnerability Management (fka Kenna Security). This may come as a surprise to some, but it reflects a broader shift already underway. Risk-based vulnerability management is no longer just about scoring vulnerabilities—it’s about understanding exposure, orchestrating remediation, validating fixes, and continuously aligning teams around what actually matters.
