“It was like having a personal swarm of bounty hunters dedicated to my test for 6 hours. That's the bit that floored me.”
Last week we wrapped a security engagement against our AI platform.
A typical engagement has one to three testers on it. And I have never had the pleasure of watching the output with popcorn in hand.
I sat down to review the output expecting the usual. Findings. A summary. Maybe a methodology section if the team writing it cared.
What I had in front of me was every move, every decision made during the engagement. Every fork in the road they considered, the paths they took. And the ones they walked away from.
You don't get that in a typical security assessment. You never get inside one tester's head.
I've worked alongside great pen test teams in the past. None of this is a comment on them.
We are an AI business. Security has to move at the same pace we do.
To Erik Hardy and the SpartanX.ai team — opening up every decision behind an engagement is something I've never had access to before.
Kudos to the team. The bar just moved.
