AI pentest report analysis - part one: designing an agentic solution
Slash pentest report analysis time (and costs) with smart AI agents that do all the heavy lifting
Parsing and transcribing penetration test (pentest) report findings into a ticketing system is a tedious, manual task. On average, it takes about 5 minutes to copy and paste a single finding - including text, formatting, and images - into Jira or a similar platform.
Suppose a report contains just five findings, this already adds up to around 30 minutes of manual work. Bump up to 10 findings, a reasonable average, and you’re looking at over an hour spent on tedious copy-paste tasks. Now, consider this: if you’re paying a security engineer a total compensation of around USD 170K, and your company runs at least four pentests a year, you’re burning through roughly USD 325 annually on manual report handling alone. That may not sound like a high amount, but it’s likely a very conservative estimate.
