How Does Synack Compare To Other Security Testing Approaches: Scanners, Pentesting As A Service (Ptaas) And Consultants How Does Synack Compare To Other Security Testing Approaches? Synack is a dynamic, hybrid solution that bridges the gap between vulnerability scanners, PTaaS and traditional security consultants. By delivering a blend of automation and human-in-the loop expert analysis, […]
TL;DR You can automate penetration testing by continuously discovering assets, running automated vulnerability scans, validating exploitability safely, and automatically retesting after fixes. The most effective approach integrates these workflows into CI/CD pipelines and pairs automation with human validation for complex risks. The three basic steps to automate pen testing are: Automated Penetration Testing Methods and […]
Agentic AI pentesting uses autonomous AI agents to plan, run, learn from, and reconfigure multi-step penetration tests. AI agents can simulate an attacker’s behavior and adapt strategies based on new information to provide continuous, rapid, and scalable security validation. These functions are complemented by humans who make judgments, handle any high-risk actions, and bring complex […]
Agentic AI in Cybersecurity: Proactive, Intelligent, and Adaptive Agentic AI doesn’t just analyze, it acts. With ransomware attacks up 126% and AI-enabled threats increasing 47% from Q1 2024 to Q1 2025, the scale and speed of modern cyberattacks have overwhelmed human-only defenses. Agentic AI is emerging as a critical capability to reduce enterprise risk, respond […]
As agentic AI technologies, large language models (LLMs) and GenAI tools take the spotlight, a new open-source protocol sits backstage to facilitate seamless communication and data exchange among LLMs and various applications: the Model Context Protocol (MCP). But what exactly is MCP, and more importantly, what are the security implications of its widespread use? At […]
