BreachLock today introduced Breach360™, its agentic AI-powered autonomous penetration testing solution. Breach360 helps organizations continuously validate security controls, prove exploitability, and prioritize remediation across modern attack surfaces. Breach360 brings autonomous penetration testing to the BreachLock Unified Platform, joining its Attack Surface Management (ASM) and Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) solutions. This milestone makes BreachLock the only offensive security provider unifying continuous ASM, certified, expert-led penetration testing, and autonomous penetration testing in a single workflow.

BreachLock announced that it has been identified as a Sample Vendor in the Gartner Hype Cycle for Security Operations, 2026 in both the Red Teaming as a Service and Penetration Testing as a Service categories. Security teams are navigating an increasingly complex threat landscape shaped by AI-driven innovation, evolving attack surfaces, and the growing need for continuous validation. The industry is shifting from reactive approaches toward proactive, threat-led validation practices that help organizations understand which exposures present meaningful risk.

A report by BreachLock analyzed cybersecurity readiness in the context of AI applications, identifying security vulnerabilities within them. The study focused on the risks associated with AI-driven technologies but did not specify exact technical details, such as CVE IDs, affected systems, or quantified impacts. No dates, numbers, or specific attack vectors were provided in the available content. The report highlights concerns about AI applications but lacks explicit data on exploitation methods or real-world incidents. The findings emphasize the need for improved security measures in AI deployments without detailing concrete examples.

BreachLock announced today that BreachLock AEV customers can now get human-verified results on any autonomous penetration testing engagement. One toggle adds a certified BreachLock penetration testing expert as the final checkpoint to review every objective, finding, and vulnerability, effectively eliminating false positives. BreachLock Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV) is the company’s agentic AI-powered autonomous pentesting solution trained on 40,000+ real-world penetration testing engagements.

BreachLock, the only offensive security platform combining agentic AI-powered autonomous penetration testing, expert-led, agentic AI-accelerated penetration testing services, and continuous Attack Surface Management (ASM), today announced the release of its 2026 Penetration Testing Intelligence Report, the company's fifth annual analysis of real-world security findings across global organizations. Based on data from 4,970 penetration tests and 531,770 individual security findings, the report provides a comprehensive analysis of the vulnerabilities, attack patterns, and emerging risks shaping the cybersecurity landscape in 2026 and beyond.

New York, United States, April 21st, 2026, CyberNewswire BreachLock , a global leader in offensive security, today announced it has been named a representative vendor in the  2026 Gartner Market Guide for Adversarial Exposure Validation .   This recognition marks the first time BreachLock has been identified in the Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV) category since launching its agentic AI-powered  Adversarial Exposure Validation  platform in 2025. Not only has the company gained recognition in the AEV market quickly, but BreachLock has also emerged as the only vendor offering adversarial exposure validation, Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS), and Continuous Attack Surface Management (CTEM) within one unified platform.  Gartner defines adversarial exposure validation as “technologies that deliver consistent, continuous, and automated evidence of the feasibility of an attack,” identifying it as a key enabler of  continuous threat exposure management  programs. “There is no other agentic offensive security solution on the market backed by the depth of real-world data and enterprise validation that BreachLock brings,” expressed Seemant Sehgal, Founder & CEO of BreachLock. “Seven years of proven production safety backed by over 40,000 engagements and the trust of a growing base of Fortune 100 clients is what sets us apart. This recognition is a clear reflection of that.”  Where many vendors offer adversarial exposure validation as a standalone tool, BreachLock delivers it alongside PTaaS and CTEM, which allows security teams to move from discovery and prioritization to validation to expert-led testing within a consolidated platform and single vendor. BreachLock is one of the first vendors to offer autonomous penetration testing for both network and web environments, and it’s worth noting that the platform deploys agentlessly with no hardware or complex setup required.  BreachLock’s autonomous penetration testing capabilities are powered by agentic AI trained on tens of thousands of real-world penetration tests and are proven to autonomously execute penetration tests at a senior penetration tester level. BreachLock AEV emulates real-world adversaries safely across an organization’s live environment, mapping findings to the MITRE ATT&CK framework and, where authorized, moves laterally to and actively exploits vulnerabilities. This takes understanding risk to a new level, proving exploitability rather than simply flagging theoretical risk. This benefits enterprise security teams substantially, helping them focus their remediation efforts and allocate resources where they matter most.   For organizations determined to scale their offensive security testing capabilities both autonomously and with human expertise, BreachLock’s in-house penetration testers are available to conduct deeper investigations, manual assessments, and compliance-driven engagements through its PTaaS offering.  About BreachLock   BreachLock  is a global leader in offensive security, delivering scalable and continuous security testing. Trusted by global enterprises, BreachLock provides human-led and AI-powered attack surface management, penetration testing as a service, red teaming, and adversarial exposure validation solutions that help security teams stay ahead of adversaries. With a mission to make proactive security the new standard, BreachLock is shaping the future of cybersecurity through automation, data-driven intelligence, and expert-driven execution.  Disclaimer: Gartner does not endorse any company, vendor, product or service depicted in its publications, and does not advise technology users to select only those vendors with the highest ratings or other designation.

New York, United States, January 15th, 2026, CyberNewsWire BreachLock , a global leader in offensive security, today announced that its Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV) solution now supports autonomous red teaming at the application layer, expanding beyond its initial network-layer capabilities introduced in early 2025.  BreachLock AEV’s generative AI-powered autonomous red teaming engine can now emulate real-world attacker behavior at the application layer, capturing how adversaries think, pivot, and chain exploits. AEV continuously validates exploitable weaknesses in applications, including cross-site scripting (XSS), code injection flaws, OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, business logic flaws, and complex exploit paths. BreachLock AEV goes beyond simply identifying theoretical risks and validates their real-world exploitability and business impact. These deep contextual insights help enterprise security teams scale their coverage and reduce critical risks faster with a sharper focus on remediating the validated risks that pose the greatest threat to their organization.  “Security teams don’t need more tools—they need better outcomes,” Seemant Sehgal, Founder & CEO of BreachLock, said. “With agentic autonomous penetration testing for web applications, we’re pushing the boundaries of what offensive security can do by continuously thinking, adapting, and validating risk the way real attackers do. This is a fundamental shift in how organizations measure and improve their security posture,” he added.  BreachLock AEV includes an interactive, real-time attack path visualization feature, allowing users to see where their defenses pass and fail across the attack chain. Users can also download detailed, MITRE ATT&CK-aligned PDF reports directly from the BreachLock Unified Platform, making it easier to communicate findings, prioritize remediation, and demonstrate compliance.  To learn more about BreachLock AEV, users can visit BreachLock.com .
