Friday Briefing: Autonomous Pen Testing

At this Friday briefing, we will demonstrate an autonomous AI pen testing solution from Horizon AI, which uses knowledge graph analytics, inference engines, and continuous learning loops to identify security vulnerabilities more effectively than traditional human-based pen testers or hardcoded automation tools.

The session will be presented by Lloyd Peacock of OneDot61, who achieved our highest presentation rating in 2024, with the average delegate score being: 4.78 / 5.00.

An autonomous approach to pen testing has numerous benefits, in comparison with traditional point-in-time assessments, including:

• It is continuous, which enables organisations to complete new tests, retests or even feature-specific tests as they go along.
• Live feedback during the testing process, allowing your organisation to identify and address vulnerabilities as they are found.
• Better adherence to industry standards and cyber frameworks because the detailed reports can be used as evidence of compliance.
• Reduces overall costs as it allows you to optimize your cyber investments and differentiate between the security tools that are relevant to today and those that have become obsolete.
• Wider scope as you can test your entire enterprise as often as you want, instead of a small sample once a year.
• Automatic deployment of trip wires – decoys such as fake files and credentials, that trigger early warning alerts on your exploitable attack surface.
