Prancer’s Penetration Testing As Code Framework (PAC) is a cloud-based solution that automates the scaling of penetration testing use cases and the creation of pentest instances on all major cloud providers.

PAC is a powerful offensive security tool that makes performing large-scale distributed penetration tests on cloud infrastructure and apps simple. It’s designed for pentesters, developers, and security experts to simplify the process of detecting cloud environment vulnerabilities by automating them. PAC can be used to test serverless architectures, microservices, and APIs.Instance-based malware detection delivered a fully managed service and was deployed with minimal infrastructure in a serverless style, allowing developers, security experts, and pentesters to programmatically define threats as code and automatically discover vulnerabilities in cloud apps.

Developers may profit greatly from PAC. Developers may design an attack as code and obtain valuable feedback on the security of their application since PAC provides a fully automated and managed pentest experience with limited pentesting expertise. Developers can use PAC to identify vulnerabilities early in the development lifecycle, implement security best practices, and build secure applications by detecting flaws early on.

PAC also benefits security experts. It provides a highly versatile pentest experience with a slew of features and functions. Because PAC obtains information from the Prancer CSPM solution, it can white box cloud application pentesting and minimize false positives considerably by co-relating the infrastructure and application findings.

Conclusion

Whether you’re a pentester or a developer, there are several advantages to employing automated offensive security tools like Prancer for cloud environments. With their capacity to scale and automated end-to-end security testing and validation at scale, you can dramatically improve the release velocity while delivering attack-ready cloud applications.
