Intruder’s security team explores how AI can accelerate vulnerability management and improve detection quality. Their experiments with AI, including agentic approaches, help develop faster and more accurate security checks without sacrificing precision. #NucleiTemplates #VulnerabilityDetection
Keypoints
- AI is being used to speed up the creation of vulnerability checks through an agentic approach.
- Initial AI chatbot methods produced inconsistent and invalid outputs, prompting a shift to tool-using agents.
- The team employs a curated repository of templates and rules to guide AI-generated security checks.
- Success includes creating checks for attack surface issues like exposed admin panels and unsecured Elasticsearch instances.
- Challenges remain, such as AI sometimes producing weak matchers or missing key features, necessitating human oversight.
