AI & Penetration Testing: What's the Score?

AI is changing how organisations work, including how security teams operate, but it isn't a magic solution that can replace skilled security professionals. This short session from URM Consulting cuts through the hype and looks at what AI can realistically do for security today.

URM's senior security consultant covers where AI is genuinely useful and where it falls short, how penetration testing works in practice and where AI can support it, and the truth behind claims about 'AI-powered penetration testing'. It also covers using AI in a controlled and responsible way to support testing, and how organisations can defend themselves as attackers adopt AI tools.

The speaker is an offensive security consultant, so it comes from someone who does the testing. URM sells penetration testing and consultancy, so expect some promotion of its services.
