Today we’re announcing continuous AI pentesting. It runs always-on across your full external surface, using AI agents to spot overlooked weaknesses, reason through context, and chain the multi-step moves a skilled adversary would. It has already uncovered real exposures in live environments. Here’s how it works.

We analyzed more than two million internet-exposed assets across cloud, on-prem, APIs, and web apps, discovered by our platform over the past 18 months. Using attacker-simulated testing, including black-box pentesting, dynamic application security testing (DAST), and active vulnerability scanning, we mapped how exploitable exposures cluster by industry and asset type. The results reveal systemic weaknesses in how organizations govern their digital perimeter, especially in environments shaped by rapid growth, third-party dependencies, and fragmented ownership.

Cloud assets are increasingly vulnerable, now accounting for one-third of all easily exploitable security issues. Organizations using multi-cloud environments—especially outside the major providers—face significantly higher exposure to both critical and easily exploitable risks. To manage this growing threat, businesses need full visibility into their external attack surfaces and should adopt proactive, automated platforms like CyCognito to detect and remediate vulnerabilities quickly.

Security teams are under constant pressure to find and fix vulnerabilities faster, but traditional approaches to security testing often create delays. In this blog, we explore why active security testing, despite its perception for being slow and resource intensive, is the key to achieving faster and more confident fixes. You will learn how accurate testing results drive smarter remediation decisions, how fully automated testing at scale overcomes common operational challenges, and why reducing your window of exposure requires moving beyond passive scanning. If your organization is struggling with long remediation cycles and hidden risks, this is the blueprint for accelerating your security outcomes.

Exposure Management (EM), introduced by Gartner in 2022, represents the evolution or vulnerability management. With EM, security teams can address visibility and testing gaps, and stay ahead of threats. This blog includes six signs that your organization needs EM, and five essential requirements to implement it.

Many organizations believe their security testing is robust, but common tools like vulnerability scanning and penetration testing often leave surprising gaps. Infrequent tests, limited asset coverage and inaccurate results leave exposure and risk. Achieving ideal security goals requires full coverage, high accuracy, and frequent testing—criteria most approaches struggle to deliver. CyCognito bridges these gaps with automated testing for network systems and web applications, helping organizations strengthen their security, continuously.
