Summit Lunch Demo: Fusion: Where Automation Meets Manual Testing
Derek Banks and Tom Smith
August 14 @ 12:30 pm – 12:45 pm ET
What if the vulnerability that gets your organization breached isn’t a single critical flaw, but three “harmless” mediums nobody thought to chain together?
Join Derek Banks, BHIS Security Consultant, as he walks you through Fusion Penetration Testing — BHIS’s approach that pairs a purpose-built AI system with a senior human consultant to hunt down the attack chains automated scanners routinely miss.
You’ll see how Fusion connects lower-severity findings into real, exploitable attack paths, so you understand how attackers actually chain small gaps into full breaches — not just where you scored well on a scanner report.
At roughly a third the cost of a traditional external pentest, it’s not AI replacing your pentester: It’s AI making sure your pentester never misses what would’ve gotten you breached.
