How Today’s Pentest Models Compare and Why Continuous Wins

As threat actors grow faster, stealthier, and more persistent, the approach to pentesting needs to keep evolving. Traditional, periodic assessments no longer keep up with rapidly changing attack surfaces. Static tests offer a snapshot, but attackers see a live stream. Security testing needs to shift testing models to mirror how real-world attackers operate.

Federal judge William Alsup ruled that it was legal for Anthropic to train its AI models on published books without the authors’ permission.
