Snyk unveils continuous AI pentesting and agent red teaming
Article excerpt
Snyk has announced the general availability of Evo Continuous Offensive Security (COS), enabling security teams to continuously test applications with autonomous, AI-powered pentesting and AI agent red teaming while providing validated proof of what attackers could actually exploit. AI is accelerating software release cycles while rapidly expanding the exposed attack surface, which now spans architectural flaws only reasoning-capable systems can find, credentials leaking out of AI-generated code and the models and agents now embedded directly in the development lifecycle. Attackers are now going after every layer at once: low-priority legacy bugs that were never fixed, new code being written and the applications agents run in production. Snyk’s latest research into enterprise AI adoption shows agentic development accelerating faster than security programs can track it. The Five Eyes alliance warned in June that AI will bypass cybersecurity in months, not years, with adversary breakout time now measured in seconds, and Gartner forecasts the window to exploitation will be halved by 2027. Closing that gap requires four key actions: discovering the full attack surface, remediating the backlog, validating what’s actually exploitable, and preventing what comes next. The Snyk AI Security Platform expansion delivers on all four: Scanners find bugs. Pentesters find flaws. That...
