SherLOCK Launches AI-Powered Continuous Penetration Testing Service

SherLOCK Co., Ltd., a provider of AI security governance solutions, has begun offering a beta version of its controlled penetration testing service, “SherLOCK PTaaS” , to a limited number of partner companies. This service combines continuous automated diagnosis by AI with thorough analysis and support from penetration testers and security experts, providing continuous security verification to prepare for the “AI vs. AI” era in which attackers also use AI. Furthermore, after vulnerabilities are discovered, the company will collaborate with partner companies with security expertise to provide comprehensive support, from development to secure remediation, taking the entire system into consideration. The company is also beginning to recruit partners for proof-of-concept (PoC). General availability is planned for 2027.

Cyberattacks and data breaches targeting domestic companies are on the rise, and the public assets that need to be protected continue to expand due to the spread of cloud computing and APIs. Meanwhile, attackers are beginning to automate their attacks with AI, and traditional penetration testing conducted once a year is no longer sufficient to keep up with the ever-changing threats.

As attackers begin to automate everything from reconnaissance to intrusion using AI, defenders, while continuing to use AI for verification, rely on human expertise to determine “whether it can truly be exploited” and provide the final, certainty to determine the next move. SherLOCK PTaaS is designed to combine the speed of AI with the accuracy of experts. It employs an autonomous diagnostic AI as its verification engine, and its scope and rules are technically controlled and operated securely using our proprietary control platform. In this beta version release, we will verify its effectiveness, security, and operability in real-world environments with limited partners, and will gradually expand its functions towards official release.
