AGENDA

The traditional model is familiar to every MSP in this room: schedule a pentest once a year, hand the client a PDF, check the compliance box, and move on until next year's renewal. It satisfies an auditor. It does almost nothing to protect the client, because their attack surface looked completely different the month after the test than it did the day of it. This session makes the case for continuous penetration testing as the natural evolution of both vulnerability management and traditional pentesting, and gives MSPs a realistic model for delivering it without enterprise-level budgets. Attendees will learn the practical difference between continuous pentesting and routine vulnerability scanning, how to identify which clients genuinely need continuous coverage versus an annual test, how to blend automated continuous testing with periodic human-led validation to keep findings credible, and how to reposition this offering with clients and prospects as risk reduction rather than a compliance line item. The session closes with a comparison framework for evaluating continuous testing platforms against what your team can realistically support today.
