Paul Mote, VP of solutions architects at Synack, doesn’t see agentic AI taking over for the most creative human hackers anytime soon. But he does believe in the potential for AI technology to radically disrupt penetration testing. 

In the latest episode of WE’RE IN!, Paul unpacks how agentic AI threats are forcing defenders to adapt by moving more quickly to discover and remediate critical vulnerabilities.

Are defensive AI agents really up to the task of finding the highest-impact software flaws in complex enterprise environments? Will agentic AI “helpers” leave security teams deluged by new CVEs? How do AI hallucinations change the game for the reliability of AI-only pentesting solutions?

Don’t miss Paul’s thought-provoking views on the future of AI for pentesting.
