In large, complex IT environments, penetration testing typically covers only a small fraction of systems, estimated at around five per cent, leaving significant portions unexamined due to time, cost and resource constraints.
Human-led testing teams, while highly skilled, simply do not scale efficiently in modern digital ecosystems characterised by cloud infrastructure, distributed applications and frequent system changes.
As organisations…
