TrollEye Security Has Been Recognized in the 2026 Gartner® Journey Guide to Choosing Software Engineering Security Tools Report
February 26th, 2026 – TrollEye Security today announced it has been identified in the Journey Guide to Choosing Software Engineering Security Tools by Gartner as a Representative Vendor in the Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) category supporting the pre-production phase of the software development lifecycle.
The report emphasizes that application security works best when it’s outcomes-focused, uses fewer tools with higher adoption, and is built into developer workstreams. It also includes a strategic planning assumption that by 2030, organizations that build their own security tools will spend 15% of engineering capacity maintaining those tools, surpassing the cost of purchased solutions.
Within this context, PTaaS is positioned as a mechanism for independent, pre-production validation without adding additional tooling overhead to development teams.
TrollEye Security’s PTaaS model aligns with this approach by integrating continuous adversarial testing into staging and pre-production environments. Rather than introducing another security tool for developers to manage, the service delivers validated findings tied to release cycles, helping teams remediate exploitable risk before deployment.
TrollEye Security delivers PTaaS as part of its broader Threat Exposure Management approach, enabling continuous validation across application, infrastructure, identity, and third-party domains.
