Step 1 of 2

The offensive edge: from PoC to exploitwhere agent-driven security is heading

The same workflow that reviews defensively also points toward offensive security. A practitioner working in this space frames it honestly: the agent already finds bugs and writes proof-of-concepts, so there is not a giant leap to having it run that PoC as an actual exploit, and teams are known to be chaining A-to-B-to-C attack paths. His own preference is to lean on perfect visibility of the code and the configuration as the source of truth - if he can get a validated issue straight from code and config, he doesn't necessarily need a live exploit to prove it. The discipline worth copying: don't warranty work you haven't actually done yourself.
