Implementing Agentic AI Pentesting While Managing Risk and Cost

Agentic AI is starting to change how penetration testing gets done. It improves speed, depth, and coverage, and it opens new questions around safety, control, governance, and cost. This is a working session to answer them together.

  • A peer discussion among CISOs, not a product presentation
  • Practical inputs from the room, captured into a CISO playbook you can use
  • A small, senior table held under the Chatham House rule

Seats are limited. By invitation only.

What the room works through

The roundtable anchors on six areas

Every session runs on the same six questions, so the answers compound across the series into one practitioner playbook rather than three separate conversations.

  1. 01 What agentic AI actually is, and how it differs from traditional security automation.
  2. 02 How to evaluate agentic AI platforms, their real capabilities, and the vendors behind them.
  3. 03 How to implement AI pentest agents inside a live enterprise environment.
  4. 04 The key risks: excessive permissions, unintended actions, data exposure, and lack of oversight.
  5. 05 Safety guardrails, governance, and human-in-the-loop controls that keep an agent in bounds.
  6. 06 Managing token usage, infrastructure cost, and overall ROI.
