About this webinar

Automated pentesting was sold as a comprehensive security validation. In practice, it covers only one of six surfaces, and the gap does not close with additional tuning. Join Autumn Stambaugh and Can Yüceel of Picus, with host James Azar, for a candid discussion on what your tool actually delivers and what a complete validation program looks like.

What You’ll Learn

  • Why net-new pentesting findings drop after the third or fourth run, and why “stable reports” are often the wrong signal for leadership
  • The architectural reason automated pentesting cannot confirm whether your SIEM rules fired or your EDR alerted on the technique it exploited
  • Why BAS and automated pentesting answer different questions, and what organizations lose when one replaces the other
  • How control-validated prioritization turns a noisy, fragmented set of findings into a single, ranked action queue

Watch the session and run the diagnostic against your own program. The goal is to understand exactly what automated pentesting tools do—and what they do not.
