ALGIM Webinar: Vulnerability discovery and validation at scale with AI-driven penetration testing

This webinar is for Australian Local Government Staff only.

Modern software moves faster than traditional penetration testing. Automated scanners create false positives, while manual validation delays remediation. The real challenge isn’t finding vulnerabilities, it’s proving which are exploitable and confirming fixes have removed the risk.

This session explores how AI-driven penetration testing enables continuous validation at scale. By eliminating false positives, retesting fixes in minutes, and embedding evidence-backed assurance into DevSecOps workflows, AI transforms security from a periodic check into a continuous, scalable capability.
