Automotive Pen Testing Is Different in 2026

Automotive Pen Testing Is Different in 2026

May 20, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
Automotive pen testing used to be very much an extra service. An OEM or manufacturer might test a vehicle in a very broad way i.e perhaps doing a general scan for known vulnerabilities. Today however, a modern vehicle runs tens of millions of lines of code across dozens of electronic control units, exposes attack surfaces over CAN, Ethernet, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cellular and UWB, ships with companion mobile apps and dealer tools, and connects to OEM cloud platforms that handle telematics, OTA updates and V2X services.

Remote Penetration Testing in 2026: A CTO & CISO Guide

May 6, 2026 By Rishabh Goyal In Astra
Your presence here, reading this, insinuates that something is nagging at you. Maybe it’s the Ivanti headline you saw last week or the fact that half your engineering team works from cafés, co-working spaces, and home offices you’ve never set foot in. Maybe it’s the audit coming up and that one checklist item about remote access controls you’ve been putting off. No, you’re not being paranoid. We have numbers that justify your burgeoning anxiety.

Step-by-Step: How to Set Up a Homelab for Penetration Testing at Home

Apr 28, 2026 By SafeAeon Inc. In SafeAeon
Cybersecurity is more important than ever. One of the key components of cybersecurity is penetration testing, which involves intentionally attempting to exploit a system to identify vulnerabilities. It is commonly known as ‘ethical hacking’. Penetration testing, or pen testing, requires strong hands-on skills. Setting up a homelab is an effective way to gain practical experience in a safe, controlled environment.

Autonomous Pentesting: How it Works, Benefits, Tools (2026)

Apr 27, 2026 By Sanskriti Jain In Astra
For years, the defensive side held the asymmetric advantage over threat actors. Writing exploits requires a deep understanding of how memory corruption works, how authentication tokens can be forged, etc. That knowledge gap is what made it hard to exploit a vulnerability. LLM proliferation lowered that floor and quickly removed that advantage. Even script kiddies can now carry out cyberattacks like APTs without understanding POC.

What Is Red Team Penetration Testing?

Apr 27, 2026 By Liz Sujka In Sedara
Red Team Penetration Testing is a simulated cyberattack that mimics real-world threat behavior to identify vulnerabilities, test defenses, and evaluate how effectively an organization can detect and respond to an attack. It goes beyond traditional testing by focusing on how an attacker would actually move through an environment.

Top 7 Online Penetration Testing Tools in 2026

Apr 22, 2026 By Jinson Varghese In Astra
On average, Astra Security detected 5.33 vulnerabilities per minute in 2025, which is more than 7,000+ vulnerabilities per day in live environments. That’s the brutal math of the Modern attack surface. Without proper pentesting, each deployment cycle introduces multiple entry points for hackers, and each overlooked endpoint increases the risk of cyberattack.

AI Penetration Testing: Protecting LLMs From Cyber Attacks

Apr 20, 2026 By David Ketler In Outpost 24
88% of organizations now regularly use artificial intelligence (AI) in at least one business function. While adoption of AI technologies has accelerated rapidly, security measures often lag. The rush to roll out AI has, in many cases, overshadowed essential testing and safety protocols. This is particularly a worry when AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) become deeply embedded within organizational workflows and systems in a way that most software isn’t.
