Organisations are increasingly turning to agentic AI to enhance their security measures, particularly in the realm of penetration testing for applications and APIs. As digital transformation accelerates, large enterprises are launching new applications and expanding API networks at an unprecedented pace, causing a significant structural challenge for security leaders.
With the rapid evolution of applications and APIs, coupled with the relentless tactics employed by threat actors, traditional methods of penetration testing are becoming obsolete. These intermittent tests, which often require weeks of planning and execution, cannot adequately keep pace with the speed of innovation. As a result, security professionals are recognizing the inadequacy of periodic assessments to mitigate emerging vulnerabilities.
The solution lies in shifting from a reactive to a proactive security posture. Continuous penetration testing can unveil new vulnerabilities before they can be exploited, ensuring that complex workflows and overlooked applications are secured. This new approach leverages agentic AI technology, which enables continuous probing of an organisation’s defenses, thereby supplementing human expertise with around-the-clock automated security assessments.
These advancements in automated hacking solutions allow organisations to respond more effectively to the risks associated with constant change. As businesses integrate AI-driven services into their ecosystems, the need for comprehensive security frameworks becomes even more critical.
In light of these developments, a series of discussions aimed at addressing these security challenges is being held, featuring insights from industry leaders. The upcoming event, scheduled at the House of Lords in central London, will bring together senior information security decision-makers from sectors including financial services, retail, energy, telecommunications, transportation, and healthcare. Attendees will include API security specialists, CISOs, and other senior information security professionals from medium-sized and large organisations.
The agenda will cover key topics such as the complexities of managing API security, the alignment of testing schedules with deployment cycles, and the implications these have for cybersecurity. Discussions will also explore how organisations can combat evolving cyber threats and the tangible benefits of implementing continuous penetration testing.
A significant focus will be on the role of agentic AI in bolstering the continuous penetration testing regime to minimize risks associated with APIs. Attendees will examine how this technology collaborates with human expertise to enhance the overall effectiveness of security measures.
This exclusive dinner, hosted by Equixly, is designed specifically for senior executives, ensuring that participants can engage in meaningful dialogue around application and API security. However, participation is limited to a select group of 12 senior security professionals, emphasizing the event’s focus on high-level discussion rather than broad attendance.
The event is complimentary to attend, making it accessible for qualified professionals. Registrants will be required to provide a corporate email address, which will be shared only with event sponsors, adhering to privacy protocols.
As organisations continue to navigate the complexities of modern cybersecurity landscapes, the integration of advanced technologies such as agentic AI represents a pivotal shift in how security is approached. By embracing continuous penetration testing, businesses can not only ensure their own resilience against cyber threats but also protect their digital innovations as they evolve.
