Deep dives, expert analysis, and practical guidance on exposure management, adversarial validation, and the future of AI-driven exposure management.

Introducing Red Loop: continuous, proven testing of your whole attack surface
Red Loop brings continuous offensive testing to Strobes Attack Surface Management. It discovers what you own, scans it the same way every time, and sends results to AI agents that attack and validate them. Only proven findings reach your queue.

Strobes Agentic Pentesting Now Tests Android Apps on Your Own Devices
Strobes Agentic Pentesting now runs Android app pentesting on your own phones and emulators: live crawling, traffic interception, Frida instrumentation, and verified findings.

Strobes joins OpenAI's Daybreak program
OpenAI gates its cyber models behind an application, identity checks, and workspace scoping. Strobes is now verified for Daybreak.

Where your data goes during an AI pentest
Session tokens, customer records, error traces. Here's exactly where that data goes during an agentic pentest, and what to ask any vendor.

Three months inside Anthropic's Cyber Verification Program at Strobes
Strobes has run Claude-powered agentic pentests under Anthropic's Cyber Verification Program since June 2026. Here's what the program gates and what changed in three months.

Are security practitioners actually ready for autonomous pentesting?
We asked 50+ security leaders one open question about autonomous pentesting. Here is the readiness spectrum that came back, and what vendors get wrong.

NIST just published AI prompts for CSF 2.0. Here is what to settle first
NIST's draft SP 1353 provides AI prompts for three CSF 2.0 tasks and says weeks of drafting compresses into hours. Here is what the prompts can draft, what only humans can validate, and the four things to settle before anyone opens a model.

How to automate pentest reporting without losing report quality
Report quality is decided before the reporting layer runs. Here's the pipeline, the gates that stop bad output shipping, and what a real automated report contains.

Build vs Buy Agentic Pentesting and What the DIY Path Costs
Everyone can build a working pentest agent in a weekend. Owning it for two years is the hard part: the four costs nobody adds up, and the seven requirements a demo never has to meet.

How to Achieve Cheaper, Faster and Accurate Pentests
Cheaper, faster and accurate pentests were never a real tradeoff. Context removes it: one graph of assets, code and cloud that every engagement reads from and writes back to.

Tooling as Code and Structured Scratchpads
The two changes that moved our AI security agents furthest this year had nothing to do with the model. Here is how tooling as code and structured scratchpads reshaped how the agents act, and how they prove a finding is real.

Top 8 Data Breaches and Exposures of July 2026
The 8 confirmed data breaches of July 2026, from a 78-million-account Suno leak to rogue AI agents breaching Hugging Face and Anthropic. What happened and how to defend.
