AI brings into ethical hacking a complete automation of vulnerability scanning and penetration testing.
Example:
Astra Pentest is an AI-based tool that uses artificial intelligence to launch simulated attacks at a speed faster than conventional methods and searches for weak points.
Real-World Scenario:
An artificial intelligence tool, which took only minutes, uncovered SQL injection weaknesses in a finance app during a cyber assessment; this, saved weeks of work that manual effort would have taken.
Limitations:
Because AI lacks creativity, it may not cover all non-conventional vectors of threat; hence, human ethical hackers are also needed.
The combination of AI and human effort will go a long way toward making security very resilient in any organization.
