# Bugcrowd launches Savant Pathseeker for continuous agentic pentesting > Source: > Published: 2026-07-28 13:00:47+00:00 ### Bugcrowd launches Savant Pathseeker for continuous agentic pentesting Crowdsourced cybersecurity company [Bugcrowd Inc.](https://www.bugcrowd.com/) today launched Savant Pathseeker, an agentic penetration testing tool that continuously tests external web applications and application programming interfaces for vulnerabilities and provides proof that the flaws it finds can actually be exploited. The product is the first in a new Agentic Offensive Testing line from the company and pairs automated testing at scale with on-demand access to Bugcrowd’s community of human pentesters. Bugcrowd is pitching Savant Pathseeker as a fix for a coverage gap that forces security teams to choose between depth and breadth. High-value assets can sit exposed for months between manual pentests, the company argues. Scanners watch everything else but flag theoretical flaws without confirming which are real. The company frames it as a timing problem. Attackers have turned to AI to probe continuously, and a pentest run every few months cannot keep up. The tool runs purpose-built agents against external-facing applications and APIs continuously. Findings are validated automatically and surfaced in one platform, so teams are not stuck triaging raw scanner output. Each finding comes with reproducible proof of exploitability and audit-ready reporting intended for security teams, auditors and regulators. Built-in guardrails and a manual kill switch keep testing within a customer’s defined scope. The tool integrates with Bugcrowd’s existing services, including its penetration testing as a service, bug bounty and vulnerability disclosure programs, red team as a service and attack surface monitoring. Customers can escalate systems that warrant deeper investigation to human researchers within the same platform. Bugcrowd positions the automated testing as a complement to its researchers rather than a replacement. The agents handle continuous baseline coverage so human experts can concentrate on business logic flaws, exploit chains and zero-day vulnerabilities that automated tools tend to miss. “Every day, our research community uncovers the next generation of critical vulnerabilities, zero-days, business logic flaws, broken access controls, that automation and AI simply can’t find,” said Braden Russell, chief technology officer at Bugcrowd. “We built Savant Pathseeker with our customers, designed around that human edge, bringing agentic discovery, testing, and validation into one place so every layer of offensive security works seamlessly.” The company said it does not use customer or researcher data to train or tune the models behind Savant Pathseeker. The product runs on frontier AI models with a proprietary layer of skills developed by Bugcrowd’s in-house practitioners. Savant Pathseeker forms part of a broader effort Bugcrowd calls Savant, which aims to combine autonomous testing, human-led engagements and attack surface visibility into a single view of exploitable risk. Chris Steffen, vice president of research at Enterprise Management Associates Inc., said in the announcement that security teams are stuck between periodic manual pentests that leave assets exposed and high-volume scanners that generate noise without proving what is exploitable. As agentic pentesting tools enter the market, he said, the real differentiator will not be automation alone but how well vendors pair machine speed with human judgment. Savant Pathseeker is available today through an early access program, with general availability planned for later this year. ##### Image: Bugcrowd # A message from John Furrier, co-founder of SiliconANGLE: Support our mission to keep content open and free by engaging with theCUBE community. **Join theCUBE’s Alumni Trust Network**, where technology leaders connect, share intelligence and create opportunities. **15M+ viewers of theCUBE videos**, powering conversations across AI, cloud, cybersecurity and more** 11.4k+ theCUBE alumni**— Connect with more than 11,400 tech and business leaders shaping the future through a unique trusted-based network. # Are you AWS customer?
