The Sine Wave of AI Enabled Continuous Penetration Testing

The Sine Wave of Continuous Penetration Testing describes how real-world security resilience is built: a repeating cycle of overt penetration testing (broad, visible assessments), collaborative purple teaming (cross-team detection + improvement), and covert red teaming (targeted, stealthy attack emulation). By oscillating through these modes continuously, organizations surface new weaknesses, validate controls, and embed security practices into development and operations — shortening time-to-remediation and shrinking an attacker’s window of opportunity.

  • Overt Pentesting (Breadth): scheduled, high-coverage tests and automated scans that map the attack surface and catch obvious vulnerabilities.
  • Purple Teaming (Collaboration): structured, collaborative exercises where offensive and defensive teams work together to tune detection, telemetry, and playbooks.
  • Covert Red Teaming (Depth): stealthy, goal-oriented emulations that chain low-severity issues into high-impact attack paths and test real-world detection and response. Moving continuously through these modes ensures issues are found as they appear, fixes are validated, and defenders are trained — converting sporadic audits into an ongoing program of risk reduction and resilience.
