The penetration testing service uses an AI agent to autonomously scan web applications and was enhanced to let customers set maximum task-hour limits on tests, stopping tests gracefully upon reaching these limits while preserving discovered findings. This helps control testing costs without losing previously identified vulnerabilities.
Additionally, customers can now revalidate individual findings after remediation without rerunning full tests. This targeted retesting returns clear status updates for each finding and maintains a history linked to the original report, improving efficiency for DevSecOps teams managing vulnerability lifecycle.
