JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA and BOISE, IDAHO — February 15, 2023 — OnDefend, a critical partner of security service firms and corporations throughout the US and around the world, using the power of PlexTrac, the premier cybersecurity reporting and collaboration platform, presents a groundbreaking security offering to customers and partners through threat-informed penetration testing (TIP). 

TIP is the next generation in penetration testing that leverages global threat intelligence about specific emerging adversaries targeting your industry to provide valuable insight on how your environment will respond. TIP safely tests the exact tactics and techniques of the threats your leadership and organization are concerned about. 

Through an in-depth API integration, OnDefend can now offer customers their automated breach and attack simulation (BAS) solution, BlindSPOT, with seamless  remediation management and retesting through PlexTrac Runbooks. OnDefend’s BlindSPOT enables you to execute attack activity on your client’s production network environments for more consistent and real-world practice against adversaries.   PlexTrac’s Runbooks supports the planning, execution, reporting, and remediation tracking of your red teaming, purple teaming, or adversary emulation activities. 

Using OnDefend and PlexTrac together make TIP actionable for your team by 

• Leveraging OnDefend’s seasoned red team to emulate the specific threats actors of your company’s choosing 
• Automatically delivering results via API to PlexTrac for comprehensive reporting and remediation management 
• Performing remediation retesting via PlexTrac Runbooks, selecting BlindSPOT, OnDefend’s Breach and Attack Simulation solution, to guide the testing

“The partnership between OnDefend and PlexTrac provides companies invaluable insight into whether their security network will withstand an attack from an emerging adversary using threat-informed penetration testing. In addition, organizations need to know their controls will work throughout the year, which is where PlexTrac and OnDefend’s proprietary tools — BlindSpot and Runbooks respectively — will help leadership of those companies sleep well at night knowing their security tools work,” said OnDefend CEO Chris Freedman. 

“We are excited to promote this deep integration and partner with OnDefend to help them make threat-informed penetration testing accessible and valuable for any security team,” said PlexTrac Founder and CEO Dan DeCloss. “Using threat intelligence to guide your offensive testing is a great way to become more proactive and move toward a continuous assessment strategy.”
