Pentera, a leading force in automated security validation, has introduced Cyber Pulse, a cutting-edge mechanism designed to keep organizations ahead of emerging threats. This innovation enables the Pentera platform to receive continuous updates on the latest vulnerabilities and attack techniques, directly sourced from Pentera’s expert research team. With Cyber Pulse, security teams can proactively detect and mitigate risks before attackers exploit them.

Addressing the Growing Threat Landscape

Over the past year, cyber threats have surged dramatically. The MITRE ATT&CK framework expanded by more than 30 new tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), while CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog added over 180 CVEs. As threats evolve at breakneck speed, IT security teams face mounting pressure to assess risks in real time and communicate their findings effectively.

How Cyber Pulse Strengthens Security

Pentera’s Cyber Pulse delivers frequent, lightweight “pulses” that seamlessly integrate into the platform. These updates empower organizations to rapidly assess their exposure to high-profile vulnerabilities and new attack techniques. Covering on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments, Cyber Pulse ensures enterprises can continuously validate their security posture through safe cyberattack emulation.

Key Features of Cyber Pulse

The initial roll-out of Cyber Pulse includes:

  • Hundreds of CVEs from CISA’s KEV catalog
  • 300+ new privilege escalation techniques, with a special focus on Linux-based attacks
  • New attack vectors, such as container escape and cryptojacking
  • Enhanced credential extraction, including SSH keys and Microsoft NAA credentials

Industry Insights from Pentera’s CPO

“When new vulnerabilities or attack techniques emerge, security teams have limited time to test their defenses, gauge the potential impact, and report risks,” explained Ran Tamir, Chief Product Officer at Pentera. “Many teams lack the right tools to perform these tasks efficiently. Cyber Pulse bridges this gap, delivering continuous updates that stress-test enterprise security. This enables teams to prioritize remediation quickly, report their security posture with confidence, and stay ahead of cybercriminals.”
