PlexTrac Introduces Advanced AI to Industry-Leading Pentest Reporting &
Proactive Security Risk Management Platform

Secure-by-Design AI Implementation to Automate Proactive Security Reporting,
Unify Offensive Security Teams and Deliver Predictive Risk Insights

BOISE, ID / ACCESSWIRE / April 23, 2024 / PlexTrac, the category creator and
market share leader in pentest and proactive security reporting and data
management for service providers and enterprises, today announced Plex.AI, a
new set of capabilities that utilize advanced artificial intelligence (AI)
algorithms to automate proactive security reporting. With the new release,
PlexTrac becomes the first and only pentest and proactive security data
management platform to develop AI algorithms that can be used to create
high-quality reports, write-ups, and data analysis from pentests and other
offensive security data sources.

Going forward, PlexTrac will continue to enhance Plex.AI and introduce new AI
automation designed to streamline key security workflows and unify teams
across the continuous threat and exposure management life cycle, while helping
teams uncover and quantify the highest priority risks from terabytes of
proactive security and threat intelligence data via predictive analytics.

Plex.AI applies PlexTrac's algorithms to scale findings development and
authoring, saving countless hours in manual proactive security report
development, while ensuring the quality and data integrity that leading MSSPs,
MSPs, and enterprises demand. Offensive security teams can provide simple
inputs such as CVE or the title of a finding in PlexTrac's content library and
Plex.AI will auto-generate the finding's description and recommended
remediation steps. These innovative capabilities help customers in all
segments improve security posture, and specifically enable service providers
to extend their managed service offerings to provide new high-margin recurring
revenue streams.

Hosted in Google Cloud and built using Google Cloud's Vertex AI platform,
Plex.AI is designed to deliver a wide range of proactive security reports and
analyze large data sets for key themes to include in report narratives to
provide vital context on security posture. Critically, pentest and
vulnerability assessment teams can aggregate scanner, pentest, and offensive
engagement data and apply AI to summarize the key themes. In addition to cycle
time reduction gained from virtual authoring, Plex.AI ensures that offensive
security reports are thorough, accurate, and actionable for all key
stakeholders.

"PlexTrac is harnessing Google Cloud's Vertex AI platform to lay the
foundation for red teams to produce proactive security reports faster, and
with deeper insights, in much less time," said Evan Pena, Managing Director of
Professional Services, Mandiant, part of Google Cloud. "We're excited to see
the larger vision PlexTrac will deliver by applying Vertex AI within its
platform and the impact that will have on our portfolio of risk management
services."

PlexTrac AI packages are built with security and privacy in mind using private
models, enforcing strict RBAC controls, and secure architecture from the
beginning. The model will operate in a pre-trained capacity with no user
submissions being retained and no mixture or contamination of data across
instances. All results generated will be based on the data relevant to that
project or engagement and the model is not being calibrated using any
user-defined input. The AI has been carefully developed to ensure the
integrity of data across instances and to avoid feeding the learning model
with proprietary information.

"The release of Plex.AI and its new findings authoring capabilities builds on
PlexTrac's recently announced Priorities solution to help customers realize
the vision and value of continuous threat and exposure management," said Dan
DeCloss, founder and CTO, PlexTrac. "This release demonstrates our commitment
to driving innovation in pentest reporting and management as the leader in the
space, while deploying AI in a responsible and secure fashion that our
customers can trust."

Plex.AI will be generally available in the next 30 days. Customers with the
Premium package will receive Plex.AI, while customers with Essentials and Core
can purchase Plex.AI as an add-on module.
