Picus Security launches AI-driven autonomous penetration testing for continuous real-world attack simulation
Picus Security has introduced Picus Autonomous Penetration Testing, an AI-powered agentic system designed to simulate attacker behavior continuously and in production environments. The AI agents emulate adversaries by linking real exploits into effective attack paths targeting critical enterprise assets, providing proofs of exploit success and detailed evidence for security validation. This capability enhances traditional penetration testing by operating continuously, overcoming the limitations of periodic manual tests amidst an increasing volume of vulnerabilities — with nearly 37,000 CVEs published in Q3 2026 alone. Governed by strict enterprise-defined rules and safeguards, the system operates safely within production with configurable risk levels and integrates within Picus's existing platform to produce unified findings and prioritized vulnerability backlogs. This solution addresses the urgent need for real-time, ongoing internal red teaming to counter ever-evolving attacker tactics.
