Why DevSecOps Teams Are Adopting an AI Pentesting Solution

Software teams today are shipping code faster than ever before. New features go live weekly, sometimes daily, and the pressure to stay ahead of competitors means security can no longer be treated as a final checkpoint before release. This shift has pushed DevSecOps teams to rethink how they test for vulnerabilities.

Jason Haddix: Stop fearing AI pentesting

This post is based on Mackenzie's conversation with Jason Haddix on The Secure Disclosure podcast. Listen to the full episode or watch below. Jason Haddix has topped the Bugcrowd leaderboards, run security as CISO of Ubisoft, and wrote The Bug Hunter's Methodology, the playbook a lot of working pentesters learned from, so his read on the direction of the field is worth listening to. He believes that “90% of pen tests will be done by AI” in the near future.

Indusface WAS AI-Assisted Pentest: Comprehensive Vulnerability Assessment Across Web, API and AI Apps

For years, our security team has run pentests against business-critical applications across industries, and one pattern stands out. The vulnerabilities that are the most difficult to remediate are business logic vulnerabilities: IDOR, broken access control, privilege escalation, and multi-step workflow abuse. These are the kind of vulnerabilities pentest experts find by noticing a broken assumption behind one API call and chasing it until the full exploit path becomes clear.

Autonomous Pentest Findings: Unauthenticated Kill Switch

Some of the most dangerous vulnerabilities in modern web apps are the default features left switched on where they were never meant to be reachable. The first entry in our Findings from the AP series looks at an exposed actuator endpoint. On paper, this finding started the same way most do: an HTTP endpoint returned a 200. Nothing about that response looks unusual by itself. It’s the kind of line that gets logged, categorized, and moved past in most automated scans.

Autonomous Pentesting for SaaS Companies in 2026: The Complete Guide

You ship to production every day while your last pentest happened 11 months ago. Just say that sentence out loud, and we ought to rest our entire case of autonomous pentesting for SaaS companies right there. Everything below is just the supporting evidence. The mismatch isn’t subtle. Your engineers deploy continuously, your infrastructure reshapes itself weekly, and your security validation still runs on a calendar designed for software that shipped twice a year.

The Discrepancy Between the Results of Compliant Penetration Tests and What Really Defines an Organization's True Attack Surface

Organizations are investing large sums of money and resources in obtaining ISO 27001 certifications, SOC 2 attestations and performing yearly penetration tests, yet six months after the fact they hear about a breach involving one of their organizations in the media. This trend is so common, that many incident response professionals have used this as a recurring example when conducting post-breach analysis.

Penetration Testing Options Worth Knowing

Penetration testing has turned into one of those services every business claims to offer, but the actual delivery varies wildly. Some firms hand you an automated scan with a logo slapped on the report. Others put a named, accredited tester on your network who explains exactly what they found and why it matters. For businesses, charities and schools weighing up who to call, the accreditation behind the tester matters as much as the report format. Here are eight providers worth knowing, starting with a CREST-accredited option built around direct access to the people doing the work.

How autonomous pentesting kills false positives

Ask any security engineer what they actually think about their vulnerability scanner, and you will get a version of the same answer. They trust maybe 20% of what shows up in the patching queue. The rest gets a suspicious glance, and a slow death in a backlog. That is the real cost of a false positive. It is quiet, it compounds, and it hollows the tool out from the inside. It is also the reason autonomous pentesting came to replace hypotheses with confirmed exploits.
