RE: How to pick the right company for penetration testing?

["Robert E. Lee" <robert () dyadsecurity com>]

Not only that, but there is debate as to whether a scan like that
(Qualys, et al) has any tangible value to the consumer.  Artificial
Intelligence is Artificial, and for the foreseeable future will continue
to be a source of a false sense of security for many.

That's a bold statement "leader in the space." I don't believe there is
a
single leader in the penetration testing space, there are choices.
Answering
his question about credentials, information, references might be less
subjective.

Andy,

You should investigate vulnerability scanning services. The leader in
the
space is Qualys

I'm in a position to recommend a company and would like to know, what
credentials/information/references should I ask for from a company who
offers such services.
