CISO's Expert Guide to Agentic Pentesting for Websites

A guide addresses how autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) agents can perform penetration testing on websites, aimed at closing the gap between vulnerability disclosure and patching. The article cites industry data showing attackers exploit new vulnerabilities within five days while organizations average 43 days to patch, and notes that exploitation initiates roughly one-third of breaches.

Why it matters: Security leaders evaluating AI-driven penetration testing tools need guidance on safe deployment and expectations, since rapid exploitation is now a primary breach vector.
