How Agentic Pentesting Works

Step 01

Recon

Instead of running a generic test suite, Invicti agents prepare a focused plan built around your app.

Uses Invicti’s established crawl engine to identify potential attack points

Performs technology-aware assessment to understand frameworks and configurations

Incorporates source code to refine testing strategy

Maintains session and authentication context during exploration

Generates a coordinated attack plan tailored to your specific application

Step 02

Attack

Invicti coordinates specialized agents—like a room full of hackers—that run in parallel, sharing context as they test.

Multiple, parallel assessments for deeper coverage

Specialized agents targeting distinct exploit categories

Agents communicate with one another to refine attacks

Real-time custom security checks written specifically for your application

Strategic use of Invicti DAST, built on 20+ years of runtime expertise

step 03

Confirm & Report

Every finding is proven exploitable before you see it, focusing teams on the critical vulnerabilities other tools miss or bury.

Exploit confirmation using Invicti’s proven validation techniques

No agentic duplication of conventional DAST findings, providing the best of both worlds

Transparent reasoning (“Octo’s thoughts”) for high-value vulnerabilities

Blended reporting that combines AI-discovered and traditional findings

Customized reporting aligned to your business context

AI Built On The World's Most Accurate Runtime Engine

Frequently asked agentic pentesting questions

What is AI or agentic pentesting?

Agentic pentesting uses coordinated AI agents to perform an intelligent penetration test. Instead of running a static ruleset, Invicti creates a tailored attack plan and spins up specialized agents that work in parallel—sharing context and refining attacks like a team of human pentesters.

Does this replace manual penetration testing?

Agentic pentesting is designed to deliver deeper testing than traditional automated scans, but in a scalable, coordinated way.

While manual pentesting remains valuable for certain compliance requirements, Invicti helps uncover advanced vulnerabilities without the scheduling delays and resource constraints of a one-time manual engagement.

What does “specialized agents” mean?

Invicti uses a centralized AI coordinator that spins up focused agents—each specialized in major vulnerability categories such as SQL injection, remote code execution, cross-site scripting, and authentication flaws.

These agents work in parallel and share context, improving the depth and relevance of testing.

How is agentic pentesting different from traditional DAST?

Traditional DAST efficiently identifies known vulnerability classes at scale.

AI agents build on that proven engine and focus AI effort on uncovering the high-value vulnerabilities that traditional scanning may not easily detect.

How does does agentic avoid false positives?

Every candidate finding generated is validated using Invicti’s proven confirmation techniques.

Invicti prioritizes zero noise—meaning reported vulnerabilities must be confirmed as exploitable before they appear in your final report.

Can Invicti AI use source code to improve testing?

Yes. The agents use source code to generate results far beyond traditional DAST. Source code allows Invicti to refine attack strategies and generate more targeted security checks tailored to your application.
