Is AI The Future Of Penetration Testing?

AI has the potential to revolutionize penetration testing by automating many repetitive, rote tasks like exploit development, vulnerability scanning, and report generation, thereby speeding up pen tests and making them more efficient.

However, AI is not yet advanced enough to fully replace human expertise, especially when it comes to testing custom web applications and proprietary systems that require critical thinking and creativity.

There are risks associated with AI, such as false positives/negatives, scope creep, and accidental system crashes, that necessitate …
