An end-to-end security assessment solution designed specifically for hard-to-reach distributed remote sites, Pwn Pulse delivers real-time wired and wireless asset discovery, continuous vulnerability scanning, pentesting, risk trending and alerting.  The enterprise-class offering uses Pwnie Express's easy-to-deploy sensors combined with central management to provide highly scalable continuous intelligence across remote locations.

"We were very impressed with how Pwn Pulse compared to the security of most other SaaS platforms," said Dave Kennedy, President and CEO of TrustedSec. "Pwnie Express is clearly paving the way to a new baseline security profile for SaaS."

Enterprises across verticals have lauded Pwnie Express's new Pwn Pulse software as a service (SaaS) solution, calling it "groundbreaking"  for its ability to easily provide visibility across their remote locations.

"Pwn Pulse allows us to have true policies in regards to our networks and computers and a true way to test them," said Eric Gilbert, Manager of IT Operations for Black, Mann & Gramm, L.L.P, who took part in the Beta program. "It gives us the ability to not only have the policies on hardening our hardware but also a way to verify that it's where it's supposed to be."

Pwnie Express CTO and Founder Dave Porcello welcomed the TrustedSec audit, remarking:  "We are thrilled that Pwn Pulse performed so well after being pummeled by some of the top web application security pentesters in the industry. The fact that we scored so impressively with zero critical or high priority vulnerabilities validates our commitment to delivering a best-of-breed differentiated remote security assessment solution."

Pwnie Express's new SaaS solution completes the entire enterprise security assessment lifecycle. The solution delivers a robust centralized management console. It also easily and seamlessly integrates with existing security information and event management (SIEM) products.
