In this episode of the Security Repo Podcast, Dwayne catches up with returning guest Andy Dennis (Head of Field Engineering at XBOW) to unpack what it really means to run “AI-backed” penetration testing at scale, without turning red teaming into a gimmick. They dig into how XBOW approaches discovery, guardrails, and reporting beyond “scan results,” and why operationalizing LLM-driven testing in real enterprises still demands SaaS-grade controls and infrastructure. The conversation closes on where this all goes next: continuous testing in the SDLC, deeper discovery of business-logic bugs, and a near future where findings increasingly translate into remediation-ready pull requests. of Field Engineering at XBOW.
