Unsecurity Episode 263: Why AI Pen Testing Can’t Replace Human Testers with Seth Bowling
As tools and companies adopt AI features at a monumental rate, AI pen testing has exploded. Do these tests stack up, or are they far less magical than the hype suggests?Brad Nigh, Megan Larkins, and guest Seth Bowling break down what these tools actually do, where they fall short, and why a human tester is still typically a much more effective and thorough option.Seth, who heads R&D at FRSecure, shares what his team found after testing more than a dozen AI products over the past year. The biggest surprise? Many so-called AI pentests are mostly deterministic scripts with AI layered on top for tasks like polishing reports and writing business-risk summaries—automated, sure, but not truly autonomous testing.If you want to dive deeper into what AI pen testing tools look like and how they differ from human-led tests, you won't want to miss this episode!Be sure to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell for more insightful episodes.#UnsecurityPodcast #FRSecure #cybersecurity #aipentesting #penetrationtesting #informationsecurity #businessWe want to hear from you!

Each year, we like to get his perspective on how Breachmas has changed or evolved to stay better informed on how to protect our clients (and ourselves).
