The 2025 State of Pentesting Report reveals insights from a survey of 500 CISOs regarding the complexities of security management in enterprises. While 45% of organizations expanded their security tech stacks, and most reported an improved security posture, 67% of U.S. entities still experienced breaches in the last 24 months. The report highlights the reality that increased tool count leads to higher alert volumes, creating challenges such as alert fatigue. Effective prioritization and continuous testing for threats are essential in this high-alert environment to avoid critical issues being overlooked.
Over the past year, 45% of enterprises expanded their security technology stacks, with organizations now managing an average of 75 different security solutions.
Despite the increase in security tools, 67% of U.S. enterprises experienced a breach in the past 24 months, suggesting that more tools do not guarantee better security.
Enterprises managing over 75 security solutions now face an average of 2,000 alerts per week, which increases the risk of alert fatigue and challenges in prioritizing threats.
In an environment of high alert volumes, organizations benefit from frequent testing for exploitable gaps, ensuring they can prioritize critical issues before threat actors do.
