AI Pentesting in Action: Astra's Autonomous Platform Demo
AI Led Pentesting is redefining how organizations approach application security. As software development accelerates with AI-assisted coding, cloud-native applications, and rapidly evolving attack surfaces, traditional penetration testing is struggling to keep pace. In this detailed video, we explore why the future of security testing needs to be continuous, intelligent, and autonomous led by AI.
Join Shikhil Sharma and Ananda Krishna, Founders of Astra Security, for an in-depth look at Autonomous Pentesting - a new category that combines the depth of expert-led penetration testing with the speed and scalability of AI. Through a live product demonstration, you'll see how AI agents perform threat modeling, generate attack chains, discover real business logic vulnerabilities, validate findings, and even help developers remediate issues using AI-powered workflows. You'll also learn where AI Pentesting sits when seeings from the lens of a security leader who is trying to make a choice between a DAST solution, manual pentest and a AI Pentest.
A few questions this video answers - What are the limitations of traditional pentesting?
Traditional pentesting is inefficient, consuming hundreds of hours with only 10-30 hours yielding critical findings. Human pentesters struggle with broad coverage, threat modeling, and creativity, leading to limitations in breadth, depth, and quality over time. What does the future of DAST and Human Pentesting look like with AI Pentesting coming in as a new category? What is Astra Autonomous Pentesting platform?
Astra's platform leverages AI for autonomous pentesting, a new category in cybersecurity. The AI Penetration Testing platform uses AI agents to discover, validate and fix vulnerabilities autonomously.
What you'll learn:
- Why traditional penetration testing is no longer enough
- What Autonomous Pentesting is and why it matters
- Live demonstration of Astra's Autonomous Pentesting platform
- AI-powered threat modeling and attack chain generation
- Vulnerability validation and AI-assisted remediation
- Benchmark results from real-world security testing
- The future of continuous pentesting and AI-driven application security
If you're exploring modern approaches to application security, offensive security, or AI-powered security testing, this session offers a practical look at how Autonomous Pentesting is helping organizations find, validate, and fix vulnerabilities faster than ever before.
