Wallarm has introduced the cybersecurity industry’s first penetration testing service for Agentic AI systems, aiming to secure AI-driven platforms against evolving threats.
Addressing AI security risks through targeted penetration testing
Agentic AI—advanced systems capable of autonomous decision-making—rely heavily on APIs, making them susceptible to security breaches. Wallarm’s latest API ThreatStats report found that 57% of AI-powered APIs are externally accessible, while 89% use insecure authentication methods such as static keys. These weaknesses leave AI-driven applications exposed to potential cyberattacks, including jailbreaking, injections, and adversarial manipulation.
Wallarm’s penetration testing service is designed to:
- Identify critical attack vectors that could be exploited in AI-driven workflows.
- Evaluate API security to prevent unauthorized access and data leaks.
- Simulate real-world threats to test the resilience of AI agents.
- Provide actionable security recommendations tailored to enterprise AI environments.
As AI agents increasingly automate enterprise operations, cybersecurity teams must adapt their defenses to mitigate risks. Wallarm’s penetration testing service equips businesses with real-time insights into AI security gaps, helping organizations proactively protect their systems.
“We’re witnessing an unprecedented rise in the use of Agentic AI across industries, but with that comes a significant challenge: security,” said Ivan Novikov, chief executive officer and co-founder at Wallarm. “AI systems connected through APIs create new attack surfaces. Our penetration testing service ensures security teams can identify and address vulnerabilities before they’re exploited.”
Wallarm’s security experts conduct comprehensive assessments of AI applications, including API security audits, authentication reviews, and vulnerability analysis. The service aims to help CISOs and CIOs secure their AI-driven infrastructure while ensuring compliance with security best practices.
Organizations interested in testing the security of their AI platforms can request a free penetration test through Wallarm’s website.
