### The Coverage Failure in Autonomous Pentesting

**What you will learn:** • Harnessing AI to actually have coverage during an AI pentest.

• The difference between a run that looks like a pentest and one that is one: how to tell them apart when the output is a plausible-looking report either way.

• What it takes to trust the findings: verification and multi-user execution as design requirements.
