Pentesting shouldn't be a special occasion

With Invicti, you can pentest 10 times more often, keep cost low, and generate findings that are immediately actionable for developers.

How agentic pentesting works

Recon

Invicti agents prepare a plan that incorporates code and technology assessments of your unique apps.

Attack

Specialized agents run in parallel, safely using DAST for known exploits and AI logic for complex attack chains.

Validate

Every finding is proven exploitable with Invicti runtime intelligence, showing you only critical risks.

Report

Pentest reports are automatically customized to your business context with blended DAST + AI findings.

Frequently asked agentic pentesting questions

What is AI or agentic pentesting?

Agentic pentesting uses coordinated AI agents to perform an intelligent penetration test. Instead of running a static ruleset, Invicti creates a tailored attack plan and spins up specialized agents that work in parallel—sharing context and refining attacks like a team of human pentesters.

Does this replace manual penetration testing?

Agentic pentesting is designed to deliver deeper testing than traditional automated scans, but in a scalable, coordinated way.

While manual pentesting remains valuable for certain compliance requirements, Invicti helps uncover advanced vulnerabilities without the scheduling delays and resource constraints of a one-time manual engagement.

What does “specialized agents” mean?

Invicti uses a centralized AI coordinator that spins up focused agents—each specialized in major vulnerability categories such as SQL injection, remote code execution, cross-site scripting, and authentication flaws.

These agents work in parallel and share context, improving the depth and relevance of testing.

‍

How is agentic pentesting different from traditional DAST?

Traditional DAST efficiently identifies known vulnerability classes at scale.

AI agents build on that proven engine and focus AI effort on uncovering the high-value vulnerabilities that traditional scanning may not easily detect.

How does does agentic avoid false positives?

Every candidate finding generated is validated using Invicti’s proven confirmation techniques.

Invicti prioritizes zero noise—meaning reported vulnerabilities must be confirmed as exploitable before they appear in your final report.

‍

Can Invicti AI use source code to improve testing?

Yes. The agents use source code to generate results far beyond traditional DAST. Source code allows Invicti to refine attack strategies and generate more targeted security checks tailored to your application.
