RedVeil's uses vs. manual penetration testing

Updated over 2 weeks ago

RedVeil is not a replacement for all manual penetration testing, but it can perform at the level of most manual penetration testing offered today.

RedVeil follows established penetration testing methodologies and applies logic-driven analysis and validation similar to what a human tester would perform. This allows RedVeil to deliver thorough, repeatable testing for many common penetration testing use cases.

However, RedVeil is not intended to replace highly specialized or complex testing scenarios, such as red team operations, advanced threat emulation, or bespoke attack simulations.

πŸ’‘ Helpful to know

Security is most effective when implemented as a multi-layered approach.

Many organizations use RedVeil to supplement manual penetration testing by increasing testing frequency, expanding coverage, and validating remediation between manual or red team engagements.
