- 2026-08-03: horizon3 nodezero Series E validates continuous autonomous production pentesting market (2026-08-03-horizon3-series-e-official)
AppSec workflow where specialized AI agents collaborate to map architecture, build threat models, hunt vulnerabilities, and independently verify findings — approximating a security research team rather than a single-pass linter.
Key Points
- Complements deterministic sast / dependency scanners; targets logic bugs, auth bypass, injection with deep context
- claude-security-plugin is a session-local implementation; Capital One vulnhunter and cisco-antares are related AI AppSec threads
- Human-in-the-loop patching remains the trust boundary for most 2026 products
