Next-Gen VAPT: Integrating AI for Faster and Smarter Assessments

Описание: Despite growing investments in security, many organizations still rely on outdated VAPT approaches that fail to detect today’s stealthier, AI-driven threats. Addressing this critical gap, Don Warden II, Director of Incident Response at Cybolt, led a webinar exploring how automation and artificial intelligence are transforming vulnerability assessment and penetration testing across modern digital infrastructures. He discussed how intelligent scanning, behavior-based exploit simulation, and automated risk prioritization are changing traditional testing into a dynamic, continuous process. The session delivered actionable insights for security professionals working to build adaptive, AI-enhanced VAPT strategies that scale with organizational risk.
