NetSPI Launches AI Driven Continuous Penetration Testing

New proactive security platform combines human expertise with artificial intelligence to secure evolving cloud and external attack surfaces.

NetSPI, a cybersecurity firm, launched a suite of continuous penetration testing offerings Monday.

The tools target external and cloud environments and include integrations with the Model Context Protocol. They address expanding internet-facing assets such as cloud resources, applications, APIs and AI systems, which can introduce new vulnerabilities upon deployment.

The offerings shift from periodic assessments to ongoing testing. This enables discovery of cloud misconfigurations, excessive permissions and exposed services. The platform uses AI to automate discovery tasks, while human experts validate findings to identify high-impact vulnerabilities.

The system simulates attacker behavior and delivers remediation recommendations via a centralized dashboard.
