What we built, Fusion AI, runs at about a third the cost of a traditional external pentest, a human tester still signs off on every finding, and it is not here to replace anybody.
We have been hearing that one a lot. So when Melisa from our Business Capture team sat down with Brian Fehrman and me for this episode of AI Security Ops, she started with, “What is this thing you built, and is it the same hype everyone else is selling?”

In my journey to explore how I can use artificial intelligence to assist in penetration testing, I experimented with a security-focused chat bot created by Jason Haddix called Arcanum Cyber Security Bot (available on https://chatgpt.com/gpts). Jason engineered this bot to leverage up-to-date technical information related to application security and penetration testing.

Burpference is a Burp Suite plugin that takes requests and responses to and from in-scope web applications and sends them off to an LLM for inference. In the context of artificial intelligence, inference is taking a trained model, providing it with new information, and asking it to analyze this new information based on its training.
