AI Pentesting vs. Humans: The Benchmark

AI pentesting sounds like hype - until you test it properly. This report compares autonomous AI pentesting with external manual pentests on 4 real web apps, including the exact vulnerability categories each method found (and missed).

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is AI Pentesting?

AI Pentesting simulates real-world attacks on your app or API using AI models trained on thousands of real exploits. It finds and validates vulnerabilities automatically - no waiting for a human pentester to start.

How is it different from a traditional pentest?

Traditional pentests take weeks to schedule and deliver. AI Pentesting runs instantly, scales to your full environment, and gives reproducible, detailed results in minutes.

How fast can I get results?

Usually within minutes. Connect your target, define scope, and the system starts testing immediately - no coordination, no back-and-forth. Almost 100% of AI pentest find actual vulnerabilities.

Can I use it for compliance or audit reports?

Yes. Every run produces an audit-ready penetration test report with validated findings, proof-of-exploit details, and remediation guidance, structured to meet SOC 2 and ISO 27001 requirements.

What role does AutoFix play?

Because Aikido already understands your code and environment, AutoFix generates targeted code changes for confirmed vulnerabilities. Once applied, the issue can be immediately retested to verify that it is fully resolved.

Do I need to give access to my source code?

No, but providing code access significantly improves results. When repositories are connected, agents understand application logic, roles, and data flows, which leads to deeper coverage and more accurate findings.

How does Aikido prevent false positives?

Findings are only reported after they are successfully exploited and confirmed against the live target. If an attack attempt cannot be validated, it is discarded and never shown in the results.

What kinds of vulnerabilities can AI Pentesting find?

AI Pentesting covers everything expected from a penetration test, including injection flaws, access control issues, authentication weaknesses, and unsafe API behavior.

It also detects business logic and authorization issues such as IDOR and cross-tenant access by reasoning about how the application is supposed to behave.

How is scope and safety enforced?

You define which domains can be attacked and which are only reachable. All traffic is enforced through strict guardrails, with pre-flight checks before the run and a panic button that stops all agents instantly.

How does AI pentesting compare to a human pentest?

For web applications, AI Pentesting delivers coverage comparable to a traditional human-led pentest, with results available in hours instead of weeks.

In side-by-side evaluations, autonomous agents have matched and in some cases exceeded human coverage by exploring more paths consistently. Human testers remain valuable for non-web targets and highly contextual edge cases.

Do I need to pay upfront to start a pentest?

No. Start the pentest with “Skip payment.” When it’s done, you’ll see the results summary. High/critical issues and the full report unlock only if you decide to pay. No upfront cost. No risk to try.

Secure at the speed of release

With Aikido Infinite, agents find and validate real vulnerabilities at every release - then patch them automatically.
