Frequently asked questions about automated pentesting

Bugcrowd has launched Savant Pathseeker, an early access agentic pentesting solution designed to enhance pentesting coverage across neglected applications and APIs with increased speed, scalability, and affordability. Traditional pentesting methods were limited, often failing to significantly reduce risk or uncover unknown vulnerabilities. The advent of automated pentesting, particularly through AI, offers broader and more frequent testing, although it can result in high false-negative rates, missing complex issues like business logic. Hybrid pentesting combines the extensive reach of AI with the nuanced judgment of human experts, ensuring more accurate results by addressing gaps that automated tools might overlook. This approach retains the benefits of automation while leveraging human insights to validate and prioritize findings, thus enhancing the overall effectiveness of security assessments without sacrificing coverage or speed.
