As attack surfaces expand across cloud, applications and AI-driven systems, traditional compliance-led penetration tests are proving inadequate. In a recent conversation with TechCircle, Sridhar Jayanthi, Interim Chief Product and Technology Officer at NetSPI, a security solutions provider focused on penetration testing as a service, explains why continuous, human-led security testing is gaining ground, how AI is reshaping offensive security, and why India is central to the company’s innovation roadmap. Edited excerpts.
As Interim Chief Product and Technology Officer, what are your top priorities for accelerating innovation at NetSPI?
My focus is on scaling innovation while staying grounded in real-world security outcomes. That means continuing to mature the NetSPI Platform as a unified, enterprise-grade system and deepening the integration between automation, AI and human-led testing.
We are investing in capabilities that enable continuous discovery, faster validation and smarter prioritisation across complex environments, including cloud, applications and AI systems. In parallel, we are equipping our penetration testers with more effective tools and context, enabling them to focus on the highest-impact threats. Innovation for us is not about feature expansion, but about making proactive security more scalable, repeatable and effective.
