AB - Small and medium-sized enterprises(SMEs) often face challenges in conducting effective security assessments due to limitations in security personnel and budget. This study analyzes real-world security vulnerabilities in SMEs using an automated penetration testing solution, Pentera Core. By employing Black Box-based testing, threats such as credential theft, privilege escalation, and ransomware simulation were validated in real time. The results revealed that most organizations failed to comply with basic security practices, such as avoiding password reuse and applying critical patches.
Based on these findings, a step-by-step response framework was designed, including risk-based prioritization and revalidation processes. Furthermore, the study proposes a practical security operation model through the adoption of Pentest as a Service(PTaaS). This approach not only enhances the cybersecurity posture of SMEs, but also offers scalability for future adoption in public and financial sectors
