Security Insights
Deep dives, expert analysis, and practical guidance on exposure management, adversarial validation, and the future of AI-driven exposure management.
How to Catch the Blind Bugs Scanners Miss
Out-of-band validation detects blind SSRF, blind SQLi, and out-of-band XXE that return no in-band response. Learn how it works and why it matters.
Black-Box Agentic Scanners: Strengths and Their Ceiling
Black box agentic pentesting finds real CVEs fast and proves them, but where does it hit a ceiling? An honest, category-level verdict.
Why AI-Generated Exploit Code Must Run in Isolation
Agent-written exploit code is the new RCE vector aimed at the tester. Here's why per-task isolation and egress control are non-negotiable.
What Is Agentic Pentesting? The Complete Guide for Security Teams (2026)
Agentic pentesting uses specialized AI agents to test your entire attack surface in hours, not weeks. Here is how it works, what surfaces it covers, how safety is enforced, and how to evaluate platforms with real benchmarks.
ISO 27001 Penetration Testing Requirements
ISO 27001:2022 never names penetration testing, yet it is how you evidence Annex A 8.8 and 8.29 at a surveillance audit. The honest read on required vs expected, with the 2013 lineage and the Oct 2025 deadline.
PCI DSS Penetration Testing Requirements
PCI DSS v4.0.1 Requirement 11.4 is the rare standard that names penetration testing outright: internal and external annually plus after change, segmentation at 12 or 6 months, mandatory since 31 Mar 2025.
HIPAA Penetration Testing Requirements
HIPAA never says "penetration test," but the Security Rule's risk analysis and its REQUIRED evaluation standard expect technical testing of every system touching ePHI. Here is the precise read.
Best AI Pentesting Tools in 2026: Ranked, Priced & Compared (12 Tools)
Which AI pentesting tool actually reduces risk in 2026? We reviewed 12 platforms on autonomy, proof quality, pricing, and what happens after a vulnerability is found.
Is Claude Mythos the End of Pentesting?
Claude Mythos found thousands of zero-days in Linux, browsers, and Apache. Does that make pentesting platforms obsolete? Understanding why models, harnesses, and platforms are three different things -- and why smarter AI makes Strobes more valuable, not less.
SOC 2 Penetration Testing Requirements
SOC 2 never names penetration testing in any criterion, yet auditors treat it as the load-bearing evidence for CC4.1 and CC7.x. Here is the gap between the letter and the audit.
Strobes AI: The Agent Stack Specialized for Offensive Security
A deep-dive into the multi-agent architecture behind Strobes AI — 12 purpose-built offensive security agents, the Skills system, Human in the Loop governance, and the architectural properties that make continuous exposure management viable at scale.
Agentic Pentesting with Strobes AI
What happens when you point Strobes AI at a real web app and let it run a full OWASP WSTG assessment with zero hand-holding? 32 tasks, 21 phases, 42 confirmed vulnerabilities — all autonomous.
