Computer Security World

Found this this Red Herring article from this blog. The article claims that technology by the startup iViz Tech in India "Aims to Put Hackers Out of Work". The Red Herring article is a little light on details, so I looked through there website. They claim to use "Emulation of Human Intelligence" to simulate attack the way a real hacker would. It probably is more like expert systems because simulating a real human hacker at any reasonable level is currently not possible. This implies that although it would be possible for it to find new attacks, it would probably be impossible for it to find a totally new class of attacks. Also, there are other penetration testing companies which use AI techniques for penetration testing like Rapid7. So, what is new? Not very clear from the description on there website. If you know let me know. Also, I think that the "Putting Hackers out of work" is just a headline grabbing bait as current state of AI does not allow us to do that. It may make penetration tester's job much easier though.
Update: Found another company which offers Artificial Intelligence based penetration testing tools: Procheckup
P.S.
Artificial Intelligence" for security attacks has also been previous employed in the technique of fuzzing used by some security researchers to find an exploit a day for a month in different browsers. Hackers are beginning to employ fuzzing/AI too
