The Harness Is the Hard Part of Agentic Pentesting
Matched: Agentic
AI-powered penetration testing tools depend less on the underlying model than on the surrounding infrastructure — the "harness" — that controls how attacks are executed safely against production systems and how results are made actionable. The model generates attacks, but scope enforcement, safe execution, and useful output are harness problems. A recent Hugging Face intrusion disclosed by OpenAI illustrates what's at stake when agentic security tooling lacks proper constraints.
