* NEW RESEARCH * Penetration Testing: UK Supplier Directory

Penetration testing (pentesting) services are key to helping enterprise IT departments identify and plug holes in their cyber security defences, and many external entities are focussing on providing associated vulnerability assessments, IT health checks, red team exercises and ethical hacking services to organisations without the in-house expertise to conduct their own appraisals.

The supplier landscape has expanded rapidly in the last decade - it now incorporates everybody from small, specialist pentesting and cyber security firms to large infrastructure service companies and IT consultancies. Market consolidation seems inevitable and recent deals have seen smaller players snapped up by bigger rivals keen to expand their portfolio and address growing customer demand for better protection and assistance with regulatory compliance initiatives.

Our Penetration Testing: UK Supplier Directory report focusses on some of the small to medium sized organisations delivering pentesting tools and services to UK buyers, and highlights market trends that may require them to change their current strategies and business models in order to survive and expand.

The organisations profiled in this report include Blackberry, Bulletproof, Claranet, CNS Group, ECSC Group, Intertek, IT Governance, Kaspersky Lab, NCC Group, Nettitude, OGL Computer, Pen Test Partners, Tempest Security Intelligence, TÜV Rhineland and Shearwater Group.
