Reviewing Penetration Test Pricing In 2025: A Practical Guide for UK and EU Buyers

Penetration testing costs in the UK and EU can range from a few thousand pounds to well over £20,000. At a glance, many of these tests look the same. So why the price gap? In 2025, pricing models haven't changed much. Most tests are still priced per day, but the complexity of what's being tested has changed. The rise of custom internal tools (many "vibe coded" by non-IT or security teams), shadow IT, SaaS stacks, and cloud sprawl means that scoping a pen test properly takes more time and care.

Security Testing for Single-Page Applications (SPAs)

When developing a web application, dev teams can choose from two fundamental design patterns: Single-Page Applications (SPAs) or traditional Multi-Page Applications (MPAs). Deciding which one to use can depend on multiple factors, but more and more companies are developing SPAs since they can provide a smoother user experience (UX), which, in turn, might just result in better user adoption.

EASM top features: 7 capabilities your solution needs

External attack surfaces have never been more sprawling, or more vulnerable. As organizations increasingly rely on dynamic, cloud-based infrastructures, and third-party services, digital footprints are only going to carry on growing. So, it’s no surprise many are turning towards External Attack Surface Management (EASM) tools for more visibility into both known and unknown assets. But what should you be looking for in a solution?

Security Bulletin: OttoKit WordPress Plugin Vulnerability, CVE-2025-27007

CVE-2025-27007 is a critical unauthenticated privilege escalation vulnerability affecting the OttoKit WordPress plugin (formerly SureTriggers), which is used by over 100,000 websites for workflow automation and third-party integration. The vulnerability exists in the plugin’s create_wp_connection() function, which fails to properly verify user authentication when application passwords are not configured.

Why Prioritization Is Still the Weak Link in Vulnerability Management

For all the advancements in vulnerability remediation, one of the most fundamental challenges remains unsolved: knowing what to fix first. And according to the 2025 Remediation Operations Report, it’s still not where it needs to be. In fact, difficulty prioritizing vulnerabilities ranks as the third biggest challenge security teams face when managing vulnerabilities. That’s not just an operational inconvenience, it’s a signal that something core to the remediation process is broken.

Outpost24 introduces AI-powered Digital Risk Protection (DRP)

Digital Risk Protection (DRP) helps organizations identify, monitor, and protect against threats across their digital footprint. The goal is to catch risks on the open, deep, and dark web before they can be exploited, by aggregating threat intelligence from diverse external sources (social media, underground forums, code repositories, and paste sites). Organizations scan continuously for exposed credentials, brand impersonations, data leaks, and emerging malware campaigns.
