Prescient Security Enhances Cait™ with New Features for Improved Cybersecurity Management

Prescient Security Enhances Cait™ with Attack Surface Management and Expanded Asset Testing

Nashville, Tennessee - July 28, 2026: Prescient Security, a leading name in the cybersecurity field and certified under the CREST AI Charter, has unveiled a suite of enhancements to its innovative AI-powered penetration testing solution, Cait™. This strategic move signals an evolution of Cait™, which was initially focused on web applications, towards a more comprehensive cybersecurity platform capable of addressing complex enterprise requirements.

Since the successful launch of Cait™ earlier this year, which introduced an autonomous, context-aware penetration tester, the company has continued to innovate. Cait™ not only evaluates applications prior to executing attacks but also provides detailed findings that meet audit standards—available either via a fixed-price subscription or through one-time engagements.

Expanded Support for Various Environments

One of the standout features introduced with the latest update is the expanded environment support. This enhancement allows Cait™ to perform testing across various enterprise settings while adhering to the operational and security protocols already in place. Recognizing that large corporations often require isolated environments for their testing activities, Prescient Security has developed a new process that aligns perfectly with existing autonomous testing frameworks.

Launch of Attack Surface Management (ASM)

Another significant upgrade coming in Summer 2026 is the introduction of Attack Surface Management (ASM). This critical feature will enable security teams to automatically identify and map their external-facing assets. By uncovering what is readily accessible and thus vulnerable, Cait™ empowers organizations to proactively engage in continuous penetration testing to ascertain their security posture. This closed-loop approach—comprising asset discovery, testing, validation of findings, and remediation tracking—will function seamlessly within the Cait™ platform, thus enhancing security measures significantly.

New Asset Testing Capabilities

Additionally, Cait™ is set to broaden its scope to include a wider variety of asset types beyond merely web applications. This move ensures that teams can extend continuous coverage across multiple asset categories without the necessity of initiating separate manual engagements. As a result, organizations can maintain heightened security diligence without compromising operational workflows.

Fabrice Mouret, Co-Founder and CEO of Prescient Security, emphasized the importance of these enhancements, remarking, "Most organizations still discover their own attack surface the hard way when an auditor flags it or an attacker finds it first. With the addition of ASM to Cait™, teams can transition from uncertainty about their exposed assets to having validated evidence of thorough testing and subsequent remediation measures."

Sammy Chowdhury, Co-Founder and CCO, added, "Our customers have shared that one of their biggest challenges is not only finding qualified penetration testers but also ensuring that the coverage remains current as their environments evolve. Each new asset type and environment we integrate into Cait™ is yet another surface that stays relevant and does not become obsolete between annual examinations."

Cait™ at Black Hat USA

To highlight these new capabilities, Prescient Security will be showcasing Cait™ along with live demonstrations of the ASM features at the upcoming Black Hat USA conference in August 2026 in Las Vegas. Attendees will have a unique opportunity to witness firsthand how Cait™ discovers, tests, and validates findings across an organization’s external attack surface.

Black Hat events are renowned in the cybersecurity community for providing valuable insights into the latest research, development, and trends in security. These multi-day events are designed to foster collaboration, networking, and discussions on critical cybersecurity topics across varied career levels and academic backgrounds.
