The Blind Spots of Agentic Pentesting and How to Close Them

Artificial intelligence (AI)-powered penetration testing has limitations in discovering all attack paths due to safety constraints and network boundaries. Combining agentic pentesting with exposure validation and breach simulation can address these gaps and improve vulnerability coverage.

Why it matters: Security teams relying solely on agentic pentesting may miss exploitable vulnerabilities and untested assets; practitioners should evaluate complementary testing methods to reduce blind spots in their assessment strategy.
