Sprocket Security has launched Apex, an AI penetration testing agent for continuous web application security testing. The agent autonomously discovers exploitable vulnerabilities at machine speed whilst operating under human supervision. Apex leverages Sprocket's attack surface management platform, built since 2018, which contains customer assets, tech stacks, testing history and previous findings. The agent tests against OWASP Top 10 categories and chains vulnerabilities into attack paths demonstrating real exploitable impact. Human testers validate all findings before publication. The system operates under a zero-data-retention policy within Sprocket's SOC 2 environment and uses a model-agnostic harness. Each test builds on previous runs and automatically flags regressions. Additional AI agents are planned for release throughout 2026.
