Security testing for autonomous AI agents that plan, use tools and take actions on their own.
What is AI Agent Security Testing?
AI agent security testing assesses systems that act autonomously: agents that call tools, browse, write to systems and chain steps toward a goal. The risk is not just what they say, but what they do.
Why it matters
An agent that can be manipulated is far more dangerous than a chatbot that can be manipulated, because it can act. Injection or excessive agency in an agent can mean unauthorised transactions, data changes or destructive actions.
How Solusec tests it
We test the full agent loop, its inputs, planning, tool access and permissions, attempting to hijack it into unsafe actions, and report the guardrails and least-privilege controls it needs.
AI testing, led by a human
Solusec is one of the first firms worldwide accredited under CREST's AI-Enabled Penetration Testing standard, so our use of AI is independently assured: responsible, transparent and always human-led. You get faster, broader testing, your data stays out of public AI tools, and every finding is validated by a qualified tester. Read about the accreditation.
What you get
You get a clear, prioritised report mapped to business risk, a walkthrough of every finding with practical fixes your developers can action, and a free retest once you have remediated. No scanner dump, no jargon, no sales team: you deal directly with the tester.
Common questions
What makes agents riskier than chatbots?
Agents take actions, so a successful attack can change or destroy data, not just produce bad text.
Do you test tool and function access?
Yes, tool use and excessive agency are central to agent testing.
How quickly can testing start?
After a short, free scoping call we give a fixed price and a start date, often within days.
Is your AI use safe and independently assured?
Yes. Solusec holds CREST's AI-Enabled Penetration Testing accreditation, which independently assures that our AI use is responsible, secure and human-led.
