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.
How to run an agentic pentesting POC
A 10-day testing playbook to evaluate agentic pentesting vendors: what to test each day, the red flags to watch for, and a scorecard that works with any vendor.
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.
