AI-native platforms are emerging to rewrite the pentesting playbook — enabling faster feedback loops, deeper exploit chaining, and safer coverage at scale. These tools aren’t ChatGPT wrappers. They fuse LLMs with fuzzing, runtime telemetry, and custom exploit corpora to emulate.
What happens when the most effective pentester isn’t a human?. It’s an uncomfortable question in the security community. But earlier this year, a tool called Unpatched AI made it unavoidable. Whether you’re discussing offensive security or defensive, the models behind these

Thrilled we backed Brian, Andrew, and the @AdaptiveSec team as they redefine how we prepare employees for the realities of modern threats. Social engineering has gone real-time, multi-modal, and AI-powered — yet most defenses still rely on static tests and annual check-the-box.
Excited to announce that we raised $43M to prevent advanced ai-powered cyber attacks. The round was led by @a16z and the @OpenAI startup fund, in OpenAi’s first cyber security investment, along with participation from dozens of leading tech founders and cyber security experts.
