AI-Powered Penetration Test
The AI pentest uses an agentic AI agent as a standalone scan engine. Instead of working through a rigid checklist, the agent thinks in attack paths: it combines individual findings, follows promising leads and delivers not just a list of vulnerabilities but a clear narrative of how an attacker would proceed.
Also unlockable via pay-as-you-go credit (Flex); combinable with reconftw (engine “Both”).
What we check
Here is what the AI pentest covers – concrete and verifiable.
- Agentic analysis instead of rigid signature checks
- Chaining individual findings into realistic attack paths
- Context-aware prioritisation of the most important vulnerabilities
- Understandable explanations and concrete next steps
- Combinable with reconftw (engine “Both”: recon → AI, merged)
- Normalisation of all findings into the unified finding schema
Your benefits
What the AI pentest actually gives you – beyond the pure technology.
Thinks in attack paths
The agent recognises when several small weaknesses together create a big risk – exactly what classic scanners miss.
Understandable for everyone
Instead of cryptic tool output you get clear explanations of why a finding matters and what to do next.
Saves expert time
The AI handles the time-consuming research and correlation so your team can focus on decisions and remediation.
Scales expertise
Pentest mindset on demand – available even when no specialist is free.
How it works
- 1
Scope & mode
Set target and authorisation; choose a passive/recon-oriented or deeper mode.
- 2
Agent investigates
The AI agent explores the attack surface, forms hypotheses and follows promising paths.
- 3
Correlation
Individual findings are chained into attack paths and mapped into the unified finding schema.
- 4
Explained report
You receive prioritised findings with understandable reasoning and concrete recommendations.
Typical findings
- Chained attack path leading to full takeovercritical
- Logic flaw that only becomes critical in combinationhigh
- Exposed function with escalatable accesshigh
- Information leak as a building block of a larger pathmedium
Example finding categories. Actual results depend on your environment.
Use cases
- Deeper analysis beyond signature-based scanners
- Uncovering compound risk from several small weaknesses
- Relieving scarce security expertise in the team
- Understandable presentation for non-technical decision-makers
Frequently asked questions
Does the AI replace a human pentester?
It complements one. The AI pentest scales routine, research and correlation and delivers understandable findings – the final assessment and sign-off stay with you.
What does the “Both” engine mean?
reconftw first maps the attack surface, then the AI agent takes over. Both results are merged into one consistent report.
Does my data stay in the EU?
SnapScan is built for sovereign operation; all scan traffic runs over controlled egress with a kill switch.
Goes well with
Deep scan
The thorough check: active vulnerability tests with verification – not guesses, but proof.
Internal pentest
An authorised agent inside your own network: Active Directory, credential testing and lateral movement – with a signed scope.
Active Exploitation
From suspicion to proof: controlled exploitation proves a vulnerability unambiguously – in three graded modes.
