Funeral for the Annual Pentest by Intruder

The Annual Pentest has passed on, after years of faithful service to compliance checkboxes everywhere. It did its best, annually. But once-a-year testing in a world of continuous deployment was never going to end well, and frankly, we think it deserves a send-off in style... Join us for a night of mourning, mischief, and mild schadenfreude as we celebrate and commiserate the end of annual pentesting. Here's what you can expect to learn: What continuous security looks like and how AI pentesting is helping shape it AI vs human-led pentesting, including safety, quality, methodology and coverage Why white box AI pentesting gives you an advantage over black box methods The importance of the AI harness for more robust security coverage How to keep security and engineering in lockstep The cost and risk management benefits of AI pentesting We also want to promote networking among the community - practitioners, security leaders, compliance officers, auditors, all welcome - so there'll be a spooky wake with live music, finger food, themed cocktails, a healthy bar-budget, tons of Halloween decor and even more great conversations. Better yet, it's free to attend and each attendee will receive a raffle ticket at the event for a chance to win prizes, including a free AI pentest! We even have a confessional photo booth to offload your cyber sins… 🗓 Date: Thursday 22nd October 2026 📍 Location: Amazing Grace London Bridge ⏱ Time: 5:30pm - 11pm ⚰️ Dress code: Anything goes, but goths appreciated Who can attend Cybersecurity, IT and DevOps folks of all levels and backgrounds - it’s what the Annual Pentest would have wanted.
