Strike recognized as a Challenger / Fast Mover in the GigaOm Radar for PTaaS 2025

We’re proud to share that Strike has been recognized as a Challenger and Fast Mover in the Innovation/Feature quadrant of the latest GigaOm Radar for Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS).

The GigaOm Radar is known for its independent, technically grounded evaluations of vendors and emerging technology categories. Being positioned as a Challenger/Fast Mover highlights both the strength of our current PTaaS capabilities and the pace at which we continue to evolve within this space.

According to GigaOm, the PTaaS market is shifting away from traditional, point-in-time pentesting and toward models built for speed, iteration, and tighter integration with engineering workflows. Strike’s position as a Fast Mover reflects our momentum in bringing features and methodologies that help security teams test more frequently, react faster, and gain clearer visibility into their exposure.

As highlighted in the report:

“As an innovation-focused solution, Strike will look and feel different over the contract lifecycle. The company delivers an aggressive roadmap that prioritizes continuous improvement in testing methodologies and reporting capabilities. Strike demonstrates flexibility in responding to market needs with emphasis on enhancing real-time collaboration features and evolving its community-based testing approach. This positions Strike as a fast-moving challenger that brings innovative features to the penetration testing market.”

This quote captures exactly what continues to drive Strike forward: a roadmap built on continuous improvement, a service model centered on collaboration, and a commitment to evolving with the needs of modern engineering teams.

The report also highlights several capabilities of our PTaaS model, including:

• High-touch collaboration with expert ethical hackers, who validate, escalate, and contextualize findings for real-world impact.
  
  
• Flexible testing cycles that fit modern development environments and allow teams to initiate pentests quickly.
  
  
• Clear and actionable reporting, designed to accelerate remediation and reduce operational friction.
  
  
• A service-centric approach, where speed, communication, and reliability are core differentiators.
  
  

This aligns closely with how we see Strike today: a PTaaS provider built on deep offensive security expertise, a collaborative service approach, and a platform designed for continuous, flexible testing rather than one-off projects.

While we are now entering a new chapter with our broader vision around Offensive Security 24/7 and progressively adding new capabilities, this recognition speaks directly to the foundation that brought us here:

• A global community of elite ethical hackers
  
  
• A high-touch, customer-first service model
  
  
• A platform that adapts to fast release cycles and helps organizations reduce exposure more frequently
  
  

For us, this mention in the GigaOm Radar is not just a badge — it’s validation that our direction in PTaaS is the right one: combining strong services expertise with a product that continues to grow in features, automation, and customer experience.

Most importantly, it reinforces our commitment to the organizations that trust us every day: to keep raising the bar on how pentesting is delivered, measured, and integrated into their broader security strategy.

This is an important milestone for Strike — and just one step in what’s coming next.
