Security testing is becoming part of an organization’s normal, everyday routine rather than a once annual event focused only on compliance, a new report said.

Nearly half (44 percent) of 300 organizations surveyed in Synack’s 2020 State of Compliance and Security Testing Report indicated they are performing security tests on a monthly or weekly basis. That trend line suggests a move toward a more effective continuous model, the crowdsourced security platform provider, said.

“The rapid embrace of crowdsourced security testing has happened because it is proven to work better than traditional security testing methods and addresses the ever growing talent gap within organizations,” said Dr. Mark Kuhr, Synack’s chief technology officer.

“Our survey found that on average, most security tests are lasting just 20 hours. As the number of cyber incidents continues to increase, it will be imperative for decision makers to implement security testing solutions on a continuous basis with 1500-2000 hours of testing a year.”
