Autonomous Pen Testing & the Next Era of Security Testing

As demand for artificial intelligence (AI) increases and investment rises, AI is being used to spot threats more quickly.

In the recent episode of The Security Strategist podcast, host Richard Stiennon, Chief Research Analyst at IT-Harvest, an author, and a trusted advisor to vendors, VCs and private Equity Firms, conversed with Sandeep Kamble, Founder and CTO at SecureLayer7

Kamble explained how traditional penetration testing and autonomous security testing are changing offensive security. He highlighted how these tools are designed to empower security teams. 

Kamble told Stiennon that this shift was a logical next step. Years of building manual penetration testing skills, cloud security practices, and vulnerability research at SecureLayer7 formed the basis for AI to enhance that expertise. 

The goal is to create a tool that security professionals can use to be more effective in pentesting using AI.
