An AI-powered penetration tester solved 88 out of 104 benchmark tests in 28 minutes. It took the best pentester 40 hours.
An AI-powered automated security testing system has seemingly matched the performance of leading cybersecurity experts in a recent experiment after solving the same number of penetration-testing “benchmarks” in just 1.1% of the time it took its human counterparts.
On Aug. 5, XBOW founder and CEO Oege de Moor published the results of an experiment in which XBOW AI’s penetration testing capabilities were measured against professional human penetration testers, or “pentesters” for short.
A penetration test is an authorized, simulated cyberattack on a computer system performed to evaluate the security of that system.
