YesWeHack AI Agents for Bugs and Pentests

In a cybersecurity landscape where hackers are increasingly leveraging Artificial Intelligence to accelerate their attacks, defenses are falling.

YesWeHack, a European offensive security platform, he said the launch of Agentic Pentest, an on-demand solution that deploys autonomous AI agents to probe corporate defenses. The move marks a significant strategic shift in how enterprises can approach vulnerability management, promising to deliver actionable security findings the same day testing begins.

It’s not just another automated scanner. The solution is already deployed at French giants Dassault Systèmes and Sanofi, along with other CAC 40 companies, lending immediate enterprise-level credibility to the technology. By moving from simple automation to AI-powered autonomy, the Paris-based company is betting it can deliver the speed, scale, and efficiency that modern Security Operations (SecOps) teams desperately need to keep up with adversaries.

For years, penetration testing – or pentesting – has been a largely manual, time-consuming and expensive process, relying on experienced ethical hackers to simulate attacks. While effective, this traditional approach often cannot keep up with the relentless pace of software development and the sheer scale of modern digital attacks.

YesWeHack's Agentic Pentest aims to break this down by using AI agents to conduct black box, grey box, and white box testing on web applications, APIs, and mobile apps.

The company’s AI agents use advanced artificial intelligence models that can do more than just pattern recognition. They can plan multi-step actions, use tools, and adapt their strategies with minimal human intervention to uncover complex attack paths. This ability is crucial for identifying not only individual vulnerabilities, but also how they can connect together to create a significant breach.
