Autonomous versus traditional pentesting

Vlnry provides repeatable source-aware exploitation with reproducible evidence. Traditional pentesters contribute human creativity, business context, and formal assurance. Mature programs can use both.

What each approach contributes

Evidence

Vlnry

Reports only findings reproduced during the run.

Traditional pentest

Evidence depth depends on scope, methodology, and the assessor.
