Hack Yourself First - Terra's AI Agents for Continuous Pentesting

Explore how AI-powered agents can revolutionize penetration testing through continuous, automated security assessments in this conference talk from AWS re:Inforce 2025. Discover Terra's innovative approach to closing the security gap between rapid development cycles and traditional periodic penetration testing. Learn how a swarm of fine-tuned AI agents, trained to think and act like ethical hackers, operates continuously to track code updates and launch context-aware attacks the moment new attack surfaces appear. Understand the hybrid approach that combines machine speed with human judgment, where agents pause to request approval when actions could disrupt production environments. Gain insights into how this agentic penetration testing methodology addresses the challenge of web applications that evolve constantly with developers pushing code dozens of times daily, making traditional security assessments inadequate for modern development practices.
