We are honored to be featured in G2's Grid® Report for Vulnerability Assessment Services | Winter 2024/2025.

Grid® Reports provide a high-level overview of a service category, focusing on which organizations have the most satisfied clients and largest presence in the market.

Here is how they can be used to inform organizations' purchasing decisions when it comes to vulnerability assessment services:

What is G2?

G2 is the largest and most trusted software marketplace. More than million professionals annually—including employees at all Fortune 500 companies—use G2 to make smarter software decisions based on authentic peer reviews from fellow professionals.

What Are G2 Market Reports?

By compiling top-rated vendors, these reports streamline reading about the differences between offered software and services, comparing aggregated review scores on the technology you’re evaluating, and weighing solutions to find the best fit for you.

Although G2 has three types of reports for users, Grid® Reports are specifically used as a high-level overview of a category on G2, including which products have the most satisfied customers and largest presence in the market.

Packetlabs: One of the Best Vulnerability Assessment Services Vendors

With cyber threats continuing to develop at a breakneck pace, high-quality vulnerability assessment (that goes beyond automated VA scans) has never been more critical.

In recent years:

• There are an estimated 800,000 cyberattacks per year in 2024–with that number predicted to continue to rise annually

• 97% of security breaches are exploiting WordPress plugins

• An estimated 300,000 new malware are created daily

• 92% of malware is being delivered via email

• In 2023, it’s taking organizations an average of 49 days to identify a cyberattack

• Over 4.1 million websites on the Internet have malware

• 66% of interviewed CIOs plan to continue to increase their investment in cybersecurity

As a CREST and SOC 2 Type II accredited penetration testing firm, Packetlabs’ 100% ethical hacker-driven penetration testing and vulnerability assessment services dig deeper to deliver more actionable results, more remediation opportunities, and more opportunities to go beyond compliance.

Our services include:

• DevSecOps: DevSecOps is integrated early in an organization's development cycle and acts as an extension of its development team to flag vulnerabilities within pre-existing detected management systems

• Red Teaming: Red Teaming is a full-scope simulated attack designed to get a holistic review of the level of risk and vulnerabilities across people, processes, and tech in an organization

• Purple Teaming: Purple Teaming is our collaborative testing exercise where the Packetlabs red team works with a company's internal security operations team (or blue team) to bridge the gap between offensive techniques and response efforts

• OT Assessments: OT Cybersecurity Assessments simulate the likelihood of an attacker reaching the control centre from an external and internal perspective with production-safe testing

• Ransomware Penetration Testing: A Ransomware Penetration Test evaluates the preparedness and risk of a ransomware attack and identifies gaps in people, processes, and technology, to determine the likelihood and readiness for a ransomware attack

• Cloud Penetration Testing: Multiple perspectives help with strengthening security posture. These include Cloud Penetration Testing, which simulates an attacker in the environment, and a Cloud Penetration Review, which provides insights into cloud-specific vulnerabilities originating from an insecure configuration. Each of these services can be conducted separately or, for maximum effectiveness, combined as an enhanced cloud security bundle

• Objective-based Penetration Testing: Following a preliminary penetration test, objective-based testing conducts a more advanced simulated cybersecurity attack. The test is conducted by persistent ethical hackers who deploy multiphase attacks to gain access to your organization's data so that a company can discover gaps and vulnerabilities unique to their organization (alongside testing their ability to detect and respond to threat actors)

• Application Security Testing: More targeted in scope than a regular pentest, Application Security Testing uncovers vulnerabilities residing in web and mobile apps by actively exploring applications from an attacker’s perspective

• Infrastructure Penetration Testing: Infrastructure Penetration Testing uncovers vulnerabilities in IT and network systems to provide a tailored approach for each environment

These are in addition to the Packetlabs Portal, which enables teams to quickly view Packetlabs' findings, prioritize efforts, request retests after remediation, and monitor progress.

Each type of penetration test or assessment can be tailored to a company's specific cybersecurity wants, needs, goals, and pre-existing vulnerabilities, based on an in-depth scoping process.
