Autonomous vs Traditional Pentesting: What's More Secure in 2026?
In 2026, the attack surface isn’t just digital anymore; it’s AI-native. Attackers deploy automated exploits much faster, while most security teams still run pentests annually. And this leads to a relentless increase in security gaps. Traditional pentesting brings depth but takes time, autonomous pentesting moves fast but misses logic flaws that cause real breaches. Relying on one approach is like defending your business security with either walls or guards, never both.
What are SOC 2 Penetration Testing Requirements?
A SOC 2 Penetration Testing (pentest) is often highly recommended by the auditors to demonstrate the effectiveness of the controls implemented during the SOC 2 audit. Developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA), SOC 2 establishes a comprehensive framework based on 5 key pillars for managing data and strengthening relationships with all stakeholders.

What is API Security Management? A Complete Guide
The fact that you’re here is proof enough that API is somewhere disturbing your or your security team’s sleep. Whether it is 99% of organizations reporting API security issues in recent surveys, or it’s a compliance/client mandate. We know you are (fear you soon will be) grappling with shadow APIs, misconfigured endpoints leaking sensitive data, BOLAs, unauthorized access, and more.
Types of Web App Attacks Explained by Experts
Web applications process billions of transactions every day, handling everything from user credentials to financial records. This constant exchange of data makes them prime targets for attackers who are looking to gain access for data theft or service disruption. Web application security vulnerabilities are highly sophisticated attack vectors that can exploit authentication flows, business logic, and API integrations.
