Filigran Adds AI-Powered Attack Chaining to OpenAEV for Autonomous Pentesting

Brief

Filigran has launched a new attack chaining capability for its OpenAEV platform, designed to help security teams test how multiple weaknesses can be combined to create a viable path through an organisation’s environment.

Released as part of OpenAEV v3, Attack Chaining allows penetration tests and red team exercises to adapt dynamically based on what a simulated attack discovers. Rather than testing individual techniques in isolation or following a fixed sequence, the platform can use findings from one stage, such as credentials, permissions or an open port, to determine what happens next.

The approach is intended to more closely reflect how real attackers operate, where an apparently minor weakness can provide the foothold needed to reach another system and ultimately sensitive data or critical assets.
