Table 1. Comparison between Continuous and One-Shot Hacking services.
Aspects	Continuous Hacking	One-Shot Hacking
Attack Cycles	Multiple ¹.	Only `1` ¹.
Remediation Support	Yes. ²	No. ²
Average duration	12-36 months ³.	1-4 months ³.
Multiple hackers	A minimum of `5` hackers test your system.	A minimum of `2` hackers test your system.
Face-to-face delivery	Unlimited within the contract period. All information deliveries are made via Integrates ⁴.	Limited to two within the contract period: `1` meeting via video-teleconferencing ⁴. `1` final results summary meeting at your location ⁵.
Detection time	Early Vulnerabilities are detected during development.	Late Vulnerabilities are detected when the system is close to production.
Alerting	Continuous alerting system via email to the project stakeholders about the current state of the project ⁵.	Alerting system via email to the project stakeholders when an anomaly is reported.
View	Up-to-date information about your system’s security.	Information about your system’s security at only one particular point in time.
Coverage	100% when: We start simultaneously with development. We attack all versions of the existing code up to the subscription starting point to catch up, if necessary, with the development team. Hacking does not stop, even without new developments in the project.	Agreed upon by both the customer and `Fluid Attacks` before testing begins ⁶.
Windows	Environments: Can constantly change. Are not necessarily frozen. Windows are not required for hacking.	Frozen environments and test windows are required.
Infection	Environments are not infected with cyberweapons.	Work stations and critical servers are infected with cyberweapons.
Remediation percentage	Up to `100%` of reported vulnerabilities can, potentially, be remediated.	Up to `80%` of reported vulnerabilities can, potentially, be remediated.
Location	Remote.	Remote or on premises.
Time to remediate	`2` - `3` weeks.	`3` - `4` months.
Payment	Monthly payment.	`1` or `2` payments.
