AI agents don't just answer questions; they take action. And when an AI agent gets bad information, a wrong answer can quickly become a security incident. In this 403 Circle webinar powered by Astra Security, Erich Kron (CISO Advisor at KnowBe4, 30 years in cybersecurity, former Security Manager of the U.S. Army's Second Regional Cyber Center) breaks down why agentic AI is going to change the way we do business and what security leaders need to do before handing autonomous AI agents the keys.

Astra Autonomous Pentest is an AI-powered Autonomous Penetration Testing platform built to discover, exploit, validate, and help fix security vulnerabilities at scale. Trained on 10M+ security findings and 5,000+ real-world penetration tests, Astra AP uses specialized AI agents to ideate attack strategies, execute real-world attack scenarios, and validate findings with under 5% false positives. Its attack chain-driven approach uncovers complex vulnerabilities, including business logic flaws, IDORs, price manipulation, GraphQL vulnerabilities, and WAF bypasses.

Before you hire a pentest company, ask who's actually testing your app. Who exactly will test my app? And what's their background? This is 1 of 6 questions to ask any pentest vendor. Watch the rest of the series and the full video on our channel.

We are sharing six things to check before you sign: who's actually testing, proof of exploit, cloud and API coverage, retesting, continuous testing, and report quality. Backed by 6.8M findings from the State of Pentesting 2026 report. Chapters Astra Security is a penetration testing company that combines autonomous and human-validated pentesting for web apps, APIs, cloud and AI applications.

Most companies pentest their app once a year. Hackers look for new backdoors every single day. Astra Autonomous Pentesting closes that gap with AI security agents that test your web app continuously, 24/7. Traditional penetration testing gives you a giant report full of jargon that sits on a shelf. Astra works like a friendly hacker that never sleeps. When it finds a security weakness, it doesn't just send a scary alert. It explains the exact problem, with the attack story and proof, so clearly that AI coding tools can fix, test and repair the vulnerability the same day.

Astra vs. Other Tool: Who Finds More Real Vulnerabilities? How does Astra Autonomous Pentesting compare with the other tool when it comes to finding real-world vulnerabilities? In this independent benchmark, Astra was tested against the other tool to evaluate vulnerability coverage, depth, and true-positive findings. The results: 27 true-positive vulnerabilities identified 3.9× more vulnerability coverage 11 distinct vulnerability classes discovered Deep testing across business logic and application behaviour.

Web application penetration testing means simulating real-world attacks on your web application; probing everything from input fields, APIs and auth flows to server configs and business logic to find security flaws before attackers do. In this video, you’ll learn.
