ITSEC Asia Launches Bronyx AI, an AI-Assisted Penetration Testing Platform to Help Organisations Worldwide Stay Ahead of Today’s Cybersecurity Threats

Addressing this challenge, PT ITSEC Asia Tbk (ITSEC Asia) (IDX: CYBR), a leading cybersecurity and AI company headquartered in Indonesia, today officially launched Bronyx AI, an AI-assisted automated penetration testing platform. Bronyx AI is designed to help organisations globally stay ahead of today’s cybersecurity threats by completing security testing in hours, while retaining the expertise and oversight of cybersecurity professionals.

The launch of Bronyx AI marks ITSEC Asia’s expansion from cybersecurity services into AI technology development. Drawing on more than 16 years of cybersecurity experience, over 400 cybersecurity personnel, and operations across multiple international markets, ITSEC Asia developed Bronyx AI based on challenges its teams have encountered while conducting real-world penetration testing engagements.

Bronyx AI uses AI agents to perform security assessments on authorised systems, covering network reconnaissance, vulnerability assessment, configuration review, web application and API testing, as well as the generation of Security Assessment Reports complete with CVSS scoring and remediation recommendations.

Unlike conventional vulnerability scanners that primarily identify vulnerabilities, Bronyx AI’s AI agents actively analyse assessment results and provide recommendations for the next testing actions. In testing conducted within ITSEC Asia’s development laboratory, Bronyx AI completed Full Scans in as little as 14 minutes, with total assessment times ranging from 14 minutes to 4 hours, depending on the scope and complexity of the systems being tested.

The launch event, held in Jakarta on Wednesday (15 July), was attended by Edwin Hidayat Abdullah, Director General of Digital Ecosystem at the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia; Sonny Hendra Sudaryana, Director of Digital Ecosystem Development at the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs; and Yudho Giri Sucahyo, Member of the Ethics Council of the Indonesian Fintech Association (AFTECH).

During the event, speakers discussed the rapid advancement of AI, emerging cybersecurity challenges, and the importance of collaboration between government, regulators, and industry in strengthening Indonesia’s digital ecosystem. ITSEC Asia also demonstrated how Bronyx AI leverages AI agents throughout the security testing process.

Patrick Dannacher, President Director of ITSEC Asia, said today’s cyber threat landscape demands a new approach to security testing.

“Technology and cyber threats are evolving faster than ever. Digital infrastructure and services are constantly changing, while security testing continues to require significant time and specialised expertise. Through Bronyx AI, we want to help organisations complete security testing in hours while maintaining the involvement and validation of experienced cybersecurity professionals,” said Patrick.

“Bronyx AI was built from the real-world experience of ITSEC Asia’s cybersecurity teams across multiple industries and markets. We have translated those experiences into AI technology while ensuring cybersecurity professionals remain an integral part of the testing process. For us, AI-driven speed must always be accompanied by high-quality findings, sound analysis, and professional accountability,” he added.

Combining AI Speed With Cybersecurity Expertise

Bronyx AI applies a Human in the Loop (HITL) approach at designated stages of the assessment process to maintain the quality of its findings. High- and critical-risk findings are validated by ITSEC Asia consultants before reports are delivered to customers.

The platform also generates Security Assessment Reports based on the reporting standards used throughout ITSEC Asia’s penetration testing services. This approach enables AI to increase the speed and breadth of security assessments while ensuring cybersecurity professionals remain involved wherever expert analysis, contextual understanding, and professional judgement are required.

Edwin Hidayat Abdullah, Director General of Digital Ecosystem at the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, said AI advancement must be accompanied by stronger cybersecurity capabilities and greater national capacity to develop technologies that address industry needs.

“Artificial intelligence presents tremendous opportunities for Indonesia’s digital economy, while also introducing new challenges that must be anticipated, including in cybersecurity. We appreciate the efforts of Indonesian technology companies such as ITSEC Asia in developing AI-based technologies that address real industry needs. Initiatives like Bronyx AI demonstrate the capability of Indonesia’s technology ecosystem to create solutions that are relevant domestically while strengthening the nation’s competitiveness on the global stage,” said Edwin.

Securing Customer Data

Every Bronyx AI assessment is performed only on assets that have received written authorisation and within an agreed testing scope. The platform currently supports testing for web applications, APIs, and defined network ranges.

Each customer’s assessment data is stored in isolation, while keys and credentials are encrypted. Assessment data is never used to train AI models without the customer’s written consent. Bronyx AI can be deployed through cloud-based services or within a customer’s own environment to meet the needs of organisations with stricter security and data governance requirements.

“The launch of Bronyx AI reflects the direction ITSEC Asia is taking as a company. We are building on our cybersecurity expertise to develop AI-powered technologies that solve real security challenges for organisations,” Patrick concluded.
