AI Pen Testing Killed Traditional DAST
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Is traditional DAST finally dead? James Berthoty explains how AI pentesting is changing the dynamics of security testing through contextual payloads, autonomous agents, and application-aware vulnerability discovery. We also explore token costs, AI-native security vendors, the future of bug bounties, testing in production, and whether model providers could eventually absorb today’s security tools.
