Why Security Validation Is Becoming Agentic
If you run security at any reasonably complex organization, your validation stack probably looks something like this: a BAS tool in one corner. A pentest engagement, or maybe an automated pentesting product, in another. A vulnerability scanner feeding an attack surface management platform somewhere else. Each tool gives you a slice of the picture. None…
