Pentesting Without Fixing Is Just Theater

AI Agents Are Reading Your Docs. Are You Ready?

Last month, 48% of visitors to documentation sites across Mintlify were AI agents—not humans.

Claude Code, Cursor, and other coding agents are becoming the actual customers reading your docs. And they read everything.

This changes what good documentation means. Humans skim and forgive gaps. Agents methodically check every endpoint, read every guide, and compare you against alternatives with zero fatigue.

Your docs aren't just helping users anymore—they're your product's first interview with the machines deciding whether to recommend you.

That means:
→ Clear schema markup so agents can parse your content
→ Real benchmarks, not marketing fluff
→ Open endpoints agents can actually test
→ Honest comparisons that emphasize strengths without hype

In the agentic world, documentation becomes 10x more important. Companies that make their products machine-understandable will win distribution through AI.

A Penetration Test Is Not a Checkbox

Too many companies run pentests just to satisfy compliance. The reports get filed, the findings ignored. Real security comes from action — not documentation.

High-Risk Findings Linger for Months

Critical vulnerabilities identified in reports often remain open long after the test. Why? Because remediation isn’t budgeted, prioritized, or tracked.

Developers Don’t See the Output

Security teams get the results, but the devs responsible for the code never hear about it. Without context, there’s no learning — and the same bugs keep getting written.

Modern IT decisions don’t come from a single headline—they come from understanding how everything connects.

IT Brew brings together the stories shaping the IT landscape, from cybersecurity and cloud to enterprise software and IT operations, so teams can see the full picture—not just isolated updates.

Less scrolling. Better context. Smarter decisions. And it’s completely free.

Retests Are Rare — So Fixes Go Unverified

Many orgs don’t run validation tests after remediation. They assume patches worked. Attackers don’t assume — they confirm.

Internal Testing Is Even More Ignored

External pentests get all the attention, but most attacks come from within. Internal apps and configurations rarely get tested — yet often hold the crown jewels.

Integrate Pentests Into Your DevSecOps Loop

Move away from once-a-year reports. Run continuous assessments, track remediation in sprints, and treat pentesters like partners — not auditors.
