HackerSec Launches AI-Native Pentest Platform with Yaga Agent for Automated Offensive Testing
HackerSec has released a major update to its pentest platform introducing an AI-Native model where the Yaga agent handles full execution of offensive tests including reconnaissance, enumeration, exploitation, impact confirmation, and evidence production. Human experts only monitor operations and validate vulnerabilities while the AI maintains context, adapts strategies, and explores multiple attack paths until confirming exploitability. The platform addresses the growing use of AI by cybercriminals for scaled attacks and the expanding attack surface from rapid AI-driven development in enterprises. At its core, Yaga uses a proprietary harness coordinating multiple tools, playbooks, analysis stages, and AI models instead of relying on a single model. Benchmark results from YagaBench show the production configuration solving 91.2% of black box, 94.6% of gray box, and 93.5% of white box scenarios. CEO Andrew Martinez stated the goal of reaching over 98% effectiveness in all AI-Native pentests by year end. The approach enables more frequent testing with broader coverage and reduced time to identify vulnerabilities.
