How an autonomous AI agent compares to traditional scanners, enterprise platforms, and a manual engagement. No marketing fog — feature by feature.
Same coverage area, six different approaches. Coloured cells are AISEC.

Traditional scanners match signatures. Burp needs a skilled operator. Pentera costs $35K+/yr. Manual pentests take weeks. AISEC is autonomous: it discovers, reasons, chains, and reports — in minutes, not weeks.
The agent reads responses, understands context, and adapts strategy. Finds business-logic flaws and auth bypasses no scanner catches.
Chains low-severity findings into critical exploits — the kind of finding only human pentesters usually surface.
Tech-stack-matched Nuclei templates run automatically. You get everything Nuclei finds plus what the AI discovers on top.
Adaptive evasion. Tests targets behind Cloudflare, AWS WAF, and rate limits without triggering alerts.
Drops missing-headers and version disclosure. Goes straight for RCE, SQLi, SSRF, IDOR, auth bypass — every finding ships with a working PoC.
PDFs with your branding, CVSS, CWE/CVE mapping, and remediation steps. Hand to clients as your own pentest report.
