Continuous penetration testing (CASPT) is an emerging security practice that replaces periodic, report-based pentests with ongoing, automated attacker-style testing integrated into the SDLC. Unlike traditional pentesting, it tracks changes between deployments and focuses only on new or modified code and infrastructure. Six tools are compared: Aikido Security (Infinite), Hadrian, Cobalt, Evolve Security, BreachLock, and Terra Security. Key selection criteria include end-to-end coverage, workflow awareness, CI/CD integration, false positive reduction, compliance support, and deployment simplicity. Aikido Security is positioned as the top pick due to its agentic AI, agentless setup, auto-remediation, and broad SDLC coverage.
