Home Autonomous Pentesting

Autonomous pentesting with the rigor of a senior consultant

Basilisk is an autonomous pentesting system, built by us, made up of a team of AI agents that plans, executes, validates and documents penetration tests and code analysis against your web, mobile and API applications, following the same methodologies the best pentesters use manually, at the scale of a platform.

89%

of PortSwigger Web Security Academy tests, the market standard for training and evaluating pentesters, solved fully autonomously, with no human intervention.

15+ years

of senior offensive-security tradecraft, distilled into the principles that guide the agents' behaviour, from technical execution and pentesting methodology to delivery organisation, impact minimisation and deliverable quality.

coverage aligned with OWASP's reference methodologies.

The problem

Between the scanner and the consultant, there's a gap where the most serious flaws hide.

Automated scanners

They cover the entire attack surface quickly, but test generic vulnerability patterns. They don't understand what the application actually does, so they miss business-logic flaws, broken authorisation, or attacks that depend on chaining several steps together.

Manual pentesting

An experienced consultant brings context, creativity and judgement that no tool replicates. But coverage is limited by the length of the engagement and by the experience of whoever performs it.

It's in that gap — deep, contextual, methodical testing, done at scale — that the vulnerabilities that cost a company the most tend to hide.

The solution

Basilisk: a team of AI agents, not a scanner with a new name.

Basilisk plans, executes, validates and reports on security tests against your target, following the same recognised methodologies a senior pentester would use, OWASP WSTG for web, MASVS for mobile and the API Security Top 10 for APIs.

Depth

The contextual reasoning of a manual engagement: the agents understand what the application does before they test it.

Scale

The reproducibility and throughput of a platform: the same testing discipline, across the entire attack surface, every time.

Methodology

Market-standard methodology applied in every run, not just a checklist at kickoff.

How it works

The phases of an engagement.

Five phases, with a specialist overseeing the most important decision points throughout.

01

Reconnaissance

Attack-surface discovery, with a baseline sweep of known CVEs and default credentials running in parallel.

02

Strategy

A test plan designed specifically for the application, not a generic checklist.

03

Category testing

Methodical execution, category by category, following the applicable methodology, with continuous oversight.

04

Validation

Every finding is independently reproduced before it moves on to the report.

05

Report

Client-ready documentation, with reproduction evidence and concrete recommendations.

Quality

Only what's been confirmed makes it into the report.

One agent finds, another verifies independently. No finding reaches the client without being reproduced against the real target.

Reproduce

The validator independently re-runs every submitted finding against the target.

Score

Confirmed impact is rated with CVSS 4.0, with the full vector documented.

Promote

Only verified findings move forward. Results that can't be confirmed are discarded before reporting.

Differentiator

Tests designed for your business, not generic payloads.

A transfer endpoint that accepts negative amounts. A cart that lets discounts stack to a negative total. These are domain-specific flaws that translate directly into losses, and that generic tests don't catch. The strategist adapts the tests to the application, based on context supplied by the operator or detected automatically.

Financial

Amount manipulation, limit and balance bypass, precision attacks, race conditions in transactions.

E-commerce

Price manipulation, discount stacking, quantity abuse, shipping and tax bypass.

Healthcare

Manipulation of clinical records, prescription tampering, overbooking, claims modification.

SaaS

Plan and seat-limit bypass, quota manipulation, trial and billing abuse.

Operational security

Built to run safely, even close to production.

The most common question before authorising any automated test. Here are the answers.

Scope enforcement

A transparent gateway sits between every agent and the target. Hosts out of scope stay unreachable.

Adaptive rate limiting

The platform monitors target health and automatically slows or pauses testing whenever it shows signs of strain.

Password-change safety

Potentially destructive flows are confined to disposable users in a sandbox. Every credential is re-verified after any change.

Credential lifecycle

Credentials are tracked by a state machine. On any deviation, the test pauses for review instead of continuing inconsistently.

What you get

Actionable results.

  • ✓Methodology reference and severity (CVSS 4.0) for every finding
  • ✓Affected endpoints and parameters, identified precisely
  • ✓Reproduction evidence, with payloads and samples
  • ✓Business impact explained in plain language
  • ✓Concrete remediation, aligned with the standards followed

Detailed technical report

Detailed vulnerability report with exploitation evidence, risk, CVSS, impact, recommendations and references, fully available online on our vulnerability management platform, with over a decade of maturity supporting the full pentesting lifecycle, streamlining remediation management, vulnerability tracking and revalidation.

Audit log

Follow the agents' full decision path throughout the engagement.

Fast retest

Re-run only the tests that failed, to confirm the fixes actually solved the problem.

Where it fits

It isn't AI versus human, it's knowing where each approach pays off most.

AI and consultants cover different dimensions of risk. AI brings breadth and cadence; the senior consultant goes deep on what's critical, complex, or already in production.
