A new report by Synack and Omdia reveals a significant gap in cybersecurity practices, with 95% of organizations prioritizing penetration testing but only 32% of their attack surfaces being tested. The study highlights the need for a shift towards agentic AI-driven security solutions, as traditional pentesting methods struggle to keep pace with modern threats. Key findings indicate that 87% of organizations are planning or using agentic AI for pentesting, with a preference for models that combine machine scalability with human oversight. The report emphasizes the urgency for enterprises to enhance their security testing approaches to address AI-driven threats effectively.
