What do you guys think? I don't think there's a lot of depth to the arguments, myself. It reads more like an threadbare op-ed with a provocative title. But I'd like to hear you opinions on the impact of automated testing solutions on the role of pen-testers in the industry.

It reads like an advertisement for software-automated pentesting that just forgot to include a link to what they're selling.

I don't know if that's the intent, but...

Also, if you want free pentesting, you could always just "accidentally" include credentials to something you push to GitHub. It's free, AND done by a human!

Edit: LMAO, it is an ad. A "contributed piece from our partners" line down at the bottom.
