SecDevLab Transforms into AgenticSec, Embracing AI Security Solutions

In a strategic move to solidify its presence in the software security sector, SecDevLab, headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, has announced its rebranding to AgenticSec, effective April 17, 2026. This change comes alongside the renaming of its AI-powered penetration testing product from 'RapidPen' to 'AgenticSec Pentest,' reflecting a commitment to evolving the brand identity in line with advancements in AI technology and security.

Responding to an Increasing Demand for Security

The rebranding and product renaming are part of AgenticSec's initiative to adapt to the rapidly changing landscape of software development. With the continuous evolution of AI and coding agents, the pace and volume of software implementation are growing significantly. However, this presents a critical challenge: ensuring the security of deployed software. As development speeds up, the requirement for effective verification of software safety has never been more crucial.

The demand for penetration testing—a security assessment method that simulates attacks to identify system vulnerabilities—has surged. Yet traditional manual testing, reliant on specialized personnel, faces limitations due to high costs, infrequent assessments, and a shortage of skilled labor. As a result, many organizations struggle to keep up with the fast-paced development cycles and ever-evolving threats.

Leveraging Automation for Enhanced Security

AgenticSec aims to tackle these challenges by utilizing automation through AI agents. Since its establishment in 2025, the company has dedicated its efforts to research and product development, leading to the launch of its automated penetration testing solutions. With the product now entering its full deployment phase, AgenticSec looks forward to accelerating its growth while enhancing the security verification landscape by integrating AI technology.

The New Identity of AgenticSec

The term 'AgenticSec' is a coined term that embodies the company's vision for a world where AI agents autonomously verify security. The 'AgenticSec Pentest' product offers a fully automated penetration testing solution that requires only the input of an IP address. The AI agent autonomously conducts threat modeling and analysis, discovering potential vulnerabilities and attack vectors.

In 2025, AgenticSec made history by becoming the first company in the world to automate the initial penetration testing process entirely using AI technology. This breakthrough allows for frequent and rigorous testing that wasn’t previously feasible with manual methods. Furthermore, AgenticSec's unique architecture enables the accumulation of configuration data and past assessment results, continuously improving the accuracy of its testing.

Demonstrating Innovation at Black Hat USA 2025

CEO Shotaro Nakaya remains at the forefront of AI-driven penetration testing research. He is set to present at the prestigious Black Hat USA 2025 conference, where discussions surrounding AI-based penetration testing automation will take place. AgenticSec has also filed patents for core technologies related to AI penetration testing and security verification.
