Pentests are outdated the moment they are delivered

Most SaaS apps change every week. 😵‍💫
New endpoints.
New auth flows.
New integrations.
New permissions.

But many teams run a pentest once a year.

The report captures a moment in time.
Then the app evolves.

You fix the findings.
Ship new features.
Add new roles.
Expose new API paths.

Now the real question:

Did you reduce risk? Or did you just move it?

Security testing breaks when it does not match release cycles.

If you deploy weekly but test yearly, you are guessing. 🤔

For founders and devs here:

How often do you validate real exploit paths in your app?

• Every release
• Quarterly
• Before audits
• Only after incidents
