Introducing Savant Pathseeker: Agentic pentesting for preemptive security
Blog post from Bugcrowd
Bugcrowd has introduced Savant Pathseeker, an agentic pentesting solution designed to autonomously identify vulnerabilities in web applications and APIs at machine speed, providing evidence of exploitability. This tool enhances Bugcrowd's platform by supporting the entire preemptive security testing lifecycle, enabling continuous asset scanning and threat neutralization before exploitation by attackers. The increasing complexity of attack surfaces due to cloud, SaaS, and API expansion, alongside the rise of AI-generated code vulnerabilities, necessitates such automated solutions. Pathseeker integrates AI-driven testing with human validation to ensure comprehensive security coverage by delivering risk-ranked results and prioritizing critical vulnerabilities, while also facilitating compliance with evolving regulatory requirements. Unlike traditional methods, Pathseeker combines autonomous testing and human expertise within a single platform, leveraging both AI models and Bugcrowd's extensive experience in offensive security. This approach allows security teams to maintain a balance between automated breadth and human-led depth in testing, thus improving overall security posture without increasing costs.
