AI VS HUMAN PENTESTING
AI penetration testing and human penetration testing have their own strengths and weaknesses. The best approach often combines both. AI Penetration Testing: Pros: 1. Speed: Automated scans can cover more network segments and assets quickly. 2. Scalability: AI tools can handle large, complex networks. 3. Cost-effectiveness: Automated tools reduce labor costs. 4. Consistency: AI tests consistently, without human error. 5. Continuous testing: AI can perform regular, scheduled scans. Cons: 1. Limited context understanding 2. Difficulty identifying complex vulnerabilities 3. False positives/negatives 4. Lack of creative thinking Human Penetration Testing: Pros: 1. Context understanding: Humans grasp network architecture and business context. 2. Complex vulnerability detection: Humans identify intricate issues. 3. Creative thinking: Humans think outside the box. 4. Social engineering: Humans can simulate phishing, pretexting, etc. 5. Tailored testing: Humans focus on specific, high-risk area
