In the security market, penetration testing is a time-honored practice that typically requires a lot of time to organize, schedule and manage.

The Trustwave approach is about giving enterprises the ability to control and manage the penetration-testing process. Henderson said the testing is comprehensive and blends human intelligence with automated processes.
