In this recent interview with Cybercrime Magazine, Ryan Bentz, Director of Offensive Security at BreachLock, breaks down the key findings from our 2026 Pe*******on Testing Intelligence Report, highlighting why velocity, validation, and governance are defining the next era of offensive security.

A new European Court of Auditors review examines how the EU coordinates its response to major cyber incidents, and €1.4 billion has already been allocated to cybersecurity through the Digital Europe Programme.

The review focuses on information sharing between national and EU-level teams and on getting the European Cybersecurity Alert System up and running.

The IT Nerd gathered expert perspectives on the findings, including our Founder and CEO Seemant Sehgal. He noted that live incidents move fastest when responsibilities are assigned well before anything happens, which makes this a good moment to define those handoffs ahead of the next major incident.

We’re at the Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit at ExCeL London this week!

If you’re attending, come say hi. We’d love to connect and hear what’s top of mind for your security team. See you there.

❌ Threat actors don’t follow a checklist.
🥷 They find a foothold. They test what works. They chain weaknesses. They pivot when a path opens.
💡 Modern security testing should account for that behavior.

BreachLock is built to think beyond individual vulnerabilities, using agentic AI to discover attack paths, chain exposures, and validate what an attacker could reach. It brings autonomous pe*******on testing across web applications, APIs, internal, and external networks.

We’re looking forward to showing offensive security in action at FS-ISAC this October. Book your on-site demo today: https://hubs.ly/Q04xQ11F0

Screenshots leak more than people may think. Terminal output, API keys, internal documents, credentials sitting in config files, all of it gets captured the moment someone hits share. Once OCR indexes that content, it becomes searchable data an attacker can act on directly.

That risk just played out at scale. A breach at a popular screenshot-sharing service exposed roughly 24 million customer records, but the real story is the 490 million metadata records that went with them, including OCR-extracted text, EXIF location data, IP addresses, and hashed passphrases.

Our CEO Seemant Sehgal shared why this matters with Infosecurity Magazine. Read the full story: https://hubs.ly/Q04xZlZX0

A board doesn't fund fear. It funds numbers it can weigh against cost.

That's the gap in most pentesting ROI pitches. CISOs know attackers move fast, but boards need three concrete insights instead:

1️⃣ Reduced breach likelihood
2️⃣ Estimated loss avoided
3️⃣ Faster mean time to remediate

A critical vulnerability isn't automatically your biggest risk, and a medium one isn't automatically safe to ignore. What matters is whether an attacker can actually reach it and turn it into a real path to compromise.

In a new byline for The Hacker News, Seemant Sehgal breaks down why severity scores alone can't answer that question, and why point-in-time pentesting struggles to keep up with environments that change daily.

AI is writing more code than any team can review.

Cloud computing once redrew the attack surface almost overnight, forcing security teams to rethink where their real exposure lived. AI generated code is doing the same thing again, only this time the pace is faster and the blast radius is harder to see coming.

More AI-assisted development naturally leads to more patches, and more patches create more openings for vulnerabilities to slip past review. At BreachLock, we're already seeing it show up in the exposures we validate for clients.

Risks in AI-generated code are climbing fast. See how vibe coding creates security vulnerabilities and how continuous security validation closes the gap.

Financial services firms are living through the fastest offensive security cycle ever. AI now puts vulnerability discovery, exploit development, and attack-path chaining within reach of far more adversaries than before.

What matters is proving what an attacker can actually exploit, and that's the gap BreachLock closes.

Across web applications, APIs, and internal and external networks, BreachLock brings together Attack Surface Management, Pe*******on Testing as a Service, and Autonomous Pe*******on Testing, including Breach360™, our agentic testing capability, so security teams move past findings lists toward validated, prioritized proof of exploitability in production-safe environments.

We'll be bringing that conversation to FS-ISAC this October!

A water treatment facility doesn't need a sophisticated attacker to cause real damage. It just needs one exposed remote access point and an unpatched PLC. As operational networks connect to IT and cloud platforms for efficiency, every new link creates a potential path in for attackers.

Static audits only tell you what you already suspect, but they can't prove whether a real attacker could reach the systems that keep production running. That's the gap continuous pe*******on testing is built to close.
