Indonesian cybersecurity company ITSEC Asia has launched Bronyx AI, an AI-assisted automated penetration testing platform designed to help organisations complete security assessments in hours rather than days while maintaining human validation of high and critical-risk findings.

The launch, reported by IT Brief Asia, marks ITSEC Asia's move into AI technology development alongside its existing cybersecurity services, and follows more than 16 years of penetration testing experience across multiple industries and markets.

Bronyx AI uses AI agents to carry out network reconnaissance, vulnerability assessment, configuration review and testing of web applications and APIs, generating reports with CVSS scoring and remediation recommendations. In laboratory testing, the platform completed full scans in as little as 14 minutes, with total assessment times ranging from 14 minutes to four hours depending on system scope and complexity.

Patrick Dannacher, President Director of ITSEC Asia, said: "Through Bronyx AI, we want to help organizations complete security testing in hours while maintaining the involvement and validation of experienced cybersecurity professionals."

A central element of the platform's design is what ITSEC Asia describes as a Human in the Loop approach, under which high and critical-risk findings are validated by its consultants before reports are delivered to customers. The model reflects growing debate in the cybersecurity sector over how far AI can replace manual review in sensitive testing and assurance processes.

Dannacher added: "For us, AI-driven speed must always be accompanied by high-quality findings, sound analysis and professional accountability."

On data governance, ITSEC Asia said each assessment is conducted only on assets covered by written authorisation and an agreed testing scope. Customer assessment data is stored separately, keys and credentials are encrypted, and assessment data is not used to train AI models without written customer consent. Bronyx AI can be deployed as a cloud service or within a customer's own environment for organisations with stricter data residency requirements.

ITSEC Asia has more than 400 personnel across Indonesia, Singapore, Australia, Mauritius and Dubai. The platform was built from experience gathered by its penetration testing teams and is designed to scale testing capacity without removing professional accountability from the process.
