NetSPI plans to scale its PTaaS platform and hire globally to combat AI-driven cyber threats
NetSPI, a provider of Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS), is scaling its platform and expanding its human expertise to tackle complex AI-driven cyber threats, the company said. Sridhar Jayanthi, Interim Chief Product and Technology Officer at NetSPI, outlined the company’s key technology and investment priorities for 2025-26, showing a focus on enhancing its enterprise security capabilities.
“Our ongoing investment into scaling the platform and deepening human expertise is aimed at handling insidious threats from AI-based attacks. We are equipping our experts and upgrading the platform to identify vulnerabilities that expose an enterprise to multi-pronged AI-driven attacks,” Jayanthi said.
NetSPI combines AI, automation, and human-led testing to deliver continuous enterprise-scale security testing. Its PTaaS model replaces traditional point-in-time pentests with an always-on programmatic approach, enabling real-time identification of vulnerabilities and rapid validation of fixes.
AI & Automation Central To NetSPI Strategy
NetSPI integrates AI-driven discovery, automated scanning, and machine learning to accelerate testing and improve accuracy. The platform continuously maps assets, identifies vulnerabilities, and prioritises remediation based on risk, business criticality, and external exposure.
“AI helps pre-process complex environments so automated agents and human experts can focus on the most urgent risks first. Our model combines automated scanning, machine learning, and human-led validation, delivered through the NetSPI Platform and PTaaS offering,” Jayanthi explained.
The company also provides specialised testing for organisations’ AI and ML systems, reflecting the growing demand for application security testing. Continuous testing, real-time reporting, and integration with development pipelines allow enterprises to secure applications without slowing development cycles.
NetSPI’s attack surface management capabilities further enable enterprises to prioritise vulnerabilities effectively. Findings are enriched with metadata, exposure data, and threat intelligence, and risk-based rankings guide remediation efforts. Integration with ITSM and ticketing tools, such as ServiceNow and Jira, allows companies to turn findings into actionable work queues.
Global Expansion & Talent Acquisition Drive Growth
NetSPI is expanding its global footprint while continuing to hire top talent, including in India, to meet rising enterprise security demands. The company already serves customers in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, including nine of the top ten banks and many Fortune 500 companies.
“We have experts spread out globally to understand regional security threats,” Jayanthi said. “For the relevance of your audience, some of our best security experts are also based in India, where we have focused on hiring top-notch engineers and security professionals. We plan to continue doing so and encourage qualified candidates to apply through our career page.”
NetSPI’s integrated approach, combining enterprise-grade SaaS capabilities with human expertise, positions the company as a leader in the growing PTaaS market. Its portfolio includes external attack surface management (EASM), breach and attack simulation (BAS), and AI/ML pentesting, supporting a move towards continuous threat and exposure management (CTEM) for enterprises of varying size and complexity.
With technology upgrades and strategic global hiring, NetSPI aims to strengthen its position against evolving cyber threats while meeting the increasing demand for sophisticated security testing.
