The shortage of cyber security experts further compounded the problem, making it challenging to conduct regular and comprehensive security audits. To address the challenge, it decided to build its own penetration testing tool using its patented technology that leverages AI to automate the penetration testing process, streamline reporting and save costs of as much as HK$200,000 (US$25,712) per year.
