The Harness Is the Hard Part of Agentic Pentesting
An artificial intelligence (AI) agent can perform penetration testing on web applications with minimal initial setup, but the real engineering challenge lies in the harness that controls the agent, ensures safe execution against production systems, and generates actionable results. The harness determines whether AI-driven pentesting delivers practical security value beyond the model's attack generation capabilities.
Why it matters: AppSec teams considering AI pentesting tools need to evaluate harness design and safety controls, not just model capability, to avoid production disruption and ensure findings are operationally useful.
