Guides and comparisons on autonomous penetration testing, agentic security, and AI red teaming.

Guides

  1. AI Red Teaming: Both Meanings Explained

    AI red teaming has two meanings: adversarial testing of AI systems like LLM apps, and using AI agents to perform offensive security. This guide covers both.

  2. OWASP LLM Top 10 Testing: A Practical Guide

    OWASP LLM Top 10 testing means dynamically probing LLM apps for prompt injection, insecure output handling, excessive agency, and more. How to test each.

  3. Penetration Testing Guide: Types, Process, and Cost

    This penetration testing guide covers what a pentest is, the main types, the process phases, real cost ranges, and how to choose the right approach.

  4. What Is Agentic Security

    Agentic security applies AI agents that plan, use tools, and act autonomously to security work, from offensive testing to SOC triage and remediation.

  5. What Is Autonomous Penetration Testing

    Autonomous penetration testing uses AI agents to find, exploit, and prove security vulnerabilities without human operators driving every step of the test.

Solutions

  1. Continuous Penetration Testing for Modern CI/CD Pipelines

    Continuous penetration testing runs proof-based exploit checks on every deploy, closing the gap that annual pentests leave in fast-moving environments.

  2. LLM Security Testing for AI Applications

    LLM security testing sends adversarial payloads at your running AI application to find prompt injection, jailbreaks, and data exfiltration before attackers do.

Comparisons

  1. Sekura vs traditional vulnerability scanners

    How Sekura differs from SAST/SCA/DAST scanners: scanners output ranked potential issues; Sekura reports only what it has actually exploited. Side-by-side comparison across output, false positives, scope, cadence, and triage burden.

  2. Sekura vs manual penetration testing

    How Sekura differs from a human pentester: manual pentests are point-in-time, $30k–$150k per cycle, take weeks; Sekura runs continuously across the whole attack surface and updates as your environment changes. Comparison and hybrid recommendation.

Alternatives

  2. Horizon3 NodeZero Alternative: Sekura for Application-Layer Pentesting

    Evaluating a Horizon3 NodeZero alternative? See how Sekura's proof-first application pentesting compares on scope, deployment, and pricing.

  3. Pentera Alternative: Sekura for Proof-First Application Security

    Considering a Pentera alternative? Compare Sekura's proof-of-exploit application testing with Pentera's network-centric security validation.

  4. XBOW Alternative: Sekura for Proof-First Autonomous Pentesting

    Looking for an XBOW alternative? Compare Sekura and XBOW on proof of exploit, surfaces covered, deployment control, and public pricing.

  1. Penetration Testing for SOC 2: What Auditors Expect

    Penetration testing for SOC 2 is not strictly required, but auditors expect it under CC4.1 and CC7.1. Here is what they accept and how to prepare.
