BreachLock’s Breach360 Named Best Autonomous Penetration Testing Solution of 2026 by Cyber Defense Magazine

Breach360 awarded for production-safe autonomous penetration testing across web and network environments, powered by agentic AI trained on 40,000+ real-world pentests and backed by human-in-the-loop control

NEW YORK, October 21, 2026--BreachLock, a global leader in offensive security, today announced that Breach360, its agentic AI-powered autonomous penetration testing solution, has won the award for Best Autonomous Penetration Testing Solution in the 2026 Top InfoSec Innovator Awards from Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM). Winners of the 14th annual awards were announced at CyberDefenseCon 2026, held October 20-21.

The award comes less than two months after BreachLock launched Breach360 in August 2026. Breach360 brings autonomous penetration testing to the BreachLock Unified Platform alongside Attack Surface Management (ASM) and Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS), making BreachLock the only offensive security provider to unify continuous ASM, certified expert-led penetration testing, and autonomous penetration testing in a single workflow.

Autonomous penetration testing is a category of security testing that covers solutions using AI agents to plan and execute penetration tests, chain findings into attack paths, and prove which vulnerabilities are exploitable, continuously and at a scale manual testing alone cannot reach. Breach360 was named Best Solution in the category for delivering production-safe autonomous penetration testing that proves what's exploitable, solving the gap between annual or quarterly pentests and attack surfaces that change every day.

Key capabilities of Breach360 autonomous penetration testing include:

• Senior pentester-level attack execution: Breach360 dynamically moves through environments the way real attackers do, from reconnaissance to exploitation and lateral movement by chaining vulnerabilities into exploitable attack paths. Because it's anchored in intelligence from over 40,000 expert-led penetration tests, Breach360 is able to execute at the level of a senior penetration tester.

• Internal and external coverage across web and network: Breach360 tests internal and external environments, giving security teams a unified view of exploitable risk across the web, network, and API layers of their attack surface.

• Production-safe, human-in-the-loop control: Security teams control the scope of every engagement, and Breach360 tests only the assets they have explicitly authorized. Once Breach360 confirms a vulnerability is exploitable, it asks for permission before exploiting it, and again before any lateral movement. A kill switch and pause control also allow teams to stop or hold a test at any point.

• Testing as often as needed: Teams can launch autonomous penetration tests once, on a recurring schedule, or continuously, so testing keeps pace with every change to the attack surface.

• Validated, prioritized findings: Breach360 proves what's exploitable and delivers validated, prioritized findings without the manual overhead or scalability limits of traditional penetration testing.

• Expert accountability on demand: Teams can add a certified BreachLock pentester as the final checkpoint on any engagement, putting expert accountability behind autonomous results.

• Reports for every audience: Technical, executive, and remediation-focused reports with attack path visualizations come straight from the platform, so teams move from findings to fixes faster.
