GoKawiilPicus Security details gaps in AI-driven penetration testing tools
A Picus Security engineer outlines how agentic pentesting—where AI agents autonomously run reconnaissance, exploitation and reporting steps—has emerged as a faster alternative to scheduled automated pentests, citing Picus's own Swarm product as an example. The piece argues this approach can uncover exploit chains humans might miss, but notes it carries tradeoffs, including heavy token/compute usage, and identifies blind spots that need to be addressed.
