The number of vulnerabilities in web applications continues to grow each quarter, and the pace shows no signs of deceleration. The combination of more frequent releases, lean teams, and constant pressure for speed is resulting in systems reaching production with flaws that should have been identified before any user accessed them.
Vibe Coding is accelerating this scenario. The approach allows anyone to launch applications in days and maintain dozens of updates and commits per day without cybersecurity forming part of the process. The market has never seen so many new software products emerging simultaneously, and the majority have never undergone any security review before entering production.
Attackers are already taking advantage of the situation. Applications released without security review share the same types of flaws, and those who know where to look can compromise in minutes what took weeks to build. Companies are being breached, sensitive data is being leaked, and customer information is being exposed from vulnerabilities that a test would have identified before the attack.
The response to this scenario is AI-powered pentesting. It does not search for known patterns but instead simulates how a real attacker views and exploits the application. Finding the flaw first is the only way to ensure it will not be used by unauthorized parties.
Launching a web application without security testing is a decision the market is increasingly charging for at a high price. Incidents that expose data, paralyze services, or compromise customers carry far higher costs than any preventive process. Flaws discovered before an attack are problems that have already been solved.
