CISO’s Expert Guide to Agentic Pentesting

How autonomous AI is rewriting offensive security, and how to adopt it safely.

Vulnerability exploitation now starts 31% of breaches, yet a manual pentest covers just 5-10% of your assets. Agentic pentesting closes the gap: continuous AI agents that map, reason, and chain the business-logic exploits scanners and DAST miss by design.

Inside the guide:

• 2026 exposure data: why annual pentesting leaves 90% of your attack surface untested.
• Vendor evaluation: 10 questions that expose wrapped LLMs.
• Governance controls: non-negotiable blast-radius, scoping, and data isolation safeguards.
• Landscape and ROI: 10 platforms mapped, four pricing models, and the economics of continuous testing.
• Compliance evidence: how continuous testing maps to PCI DSS 4.0.1, DORA, NIS2, and SOC 2.
• 90-day roadmap: a step-by-step plan to pilot and scale autonomous pentesting.
