AI is changing how offensive security workflows are designed, executed, and analyzed. This book shows you how to build and use AI agents and multi-agent pipelines to support reconnaissance, triage, vulnerability discovery, reporting, agentic penetration testing, and red team / blue team workflows.
In this practical guide for offensive security professionals, you'll learn how to create intelligent agents that automate parts of security testing while preserving safety, auditability, and human oversight. You'll build your first security agent, explore how artifacts and pipelines structure agentic workflows, and see how AI can help interpret results, prioritize findings, and reduce manual triage. Along the way, AI security expert Mark Foudy emphasizes governance, authorization controls, resilience, and transparency. You'll understand where AI adds value, and also where it introduces operational and security risk. The result is a clear framework for integrating AI into day-to-day security work.
