FAQ

Why has AI become an important resource for pentesters?
Time to exploit has gone from months to hours, and annual or quarterly pentests can't keep up. AI pentesting provides the depth of a manual pentest on-demand, so security professionals can investigate, validate and understand risk with every release and every new finding.

What is the relationship between AI pentesting and vulnerability scanning?
Knowing a vulnerability exists is only the beginning. Understanding whether it's exploitable in your environment and what an attacker could actually do with it is what allows you to effectively prioritize your backlog. AI pentesting builds a picture of real-world consequences, not just theoretical risk.

What AI Pentesting solutions does Intruder offer?
Intruder recently introduced its first wave of AI pentesting capabilities. Intruder’s current AI pentesting agents actively investigate vulnerability scanner findings using the same methods employed by human pentesters. Investigations are supported across a wide range of issue types including: injection issues, client-side attacks and information disclosure.
