Threat Intelligence Alone Won't Close the Exploitation Gap

Attackers are using AI to exploit leaked credentials and vulnerabilities faster than security teams can respond, creating a backlog in threat validation. Threat-led penetration testing (TLPT) aims to prioritize testing based on real-time intelligence to reduce exposure. Pentera's partnership with Recorded Future exemplifies this approach by integrating threat signals with automated testing to provide actionable proof of exploitability.
