Intruder AI Pentesting: Faster, Cheaper Web Security

Intruder has launched AI Pentesting for web applications, offering on-demand penetration testing. This new service uses autonomous AI agents to find security flaws. Here's how it works: organizations can connect their codebases via GitHub or GitLab. The AI then automatically scopes and launches penetration tests. These tests complete in hours, not weeks, and cost 25% or less than traditional manual engagements. What's interesting is that these AI agents are built and trained by CREST-certified pentesters. They adapt and reason through applications, mimicking human testers. Intruder's latest survey shows 49% of security leaders prioritize AI and automation for investment in 2026. This matters because continuous testing is becoming essential as AI accelerates both development and attacker capabilities.
