AI-powered penetration testing tools can identify complex attack chains but face limitations from operational constraints and safety guardrails that leave certain assets and vulnerabilities unexamined. Organizations can improve testing coverage by combining agentic penetration testing with exposure assessment and breach simulation techniques to identify and address previously untested risk areas.
What to do
Organizations should supplement agentic penetration testing with complementary validation and simulation methods to ensure comprehensive coverage of their attack surface.
