Visualize the Attack: Gen AI Pentesting Gets an Upgrade with Agentic Fingerprints

F5 Newsroom Staff

You can’t defend what you can’t see. That’s the problem with Gen AI pentesting today. It tells you whether an attack worked, but not how it unfolded or why your defenses failed. For security leaders trying to evaluate AI readiness, that’s a serious blind spot.

Agentic Fingerprints changes that. It’s a new capability in CalypsoAI’s Inference Red-Team that gives you full visibility into how AI agents execute adversarial attacks step-by-step, decision-by-decision. Think of it as a play-by-play of how an agent broke your AI system.

What Is Agentic Fingerprints and How Does it Work?

Agentic Fingerprints is a new feature within Inference Red-Team, CalypsoAI’s solution for automated GenAI security testing. It provides deep observability into one of the most advanced adversarial attack methods in AI security today: Agentic Warfare.

Agentic Warfare uses CalypsoAI’s Red Agent to run complex, multi-turn attacks, adapting in real-time to revise prompts, backtrack when blocked, and strategize like a real adversary would. Agentic Fingerprints gives you a visual, interactive map of the Red Agent’s behavior to show every decision, prompt, and action taken, allowing you to:

• Visualize the entire attack path: from initial intent to successful breach or failure
• Click into any decision point to reveal:
  • The Red Agent’s reasoning at that step
  • The prompts sent and responses received
  • Why it chose to proceed, adapt, or pivot
• Understand the model’s vulnerabilities and look for patterns

Here’s How It Works:

It’s the first tool that turns complex GenAI pentesting into a clear, navigable experience that enables a deep understanding of the reasoning behind agentic attacks.

Why this Matters for Gen AI Pentesting

Most pentesting tools show you what broke. Agentic Fingerprints show you how it broke and why your existing defenses didn’t stop it. Here’s why that’s a major leap forward.

Transparent Agent Behavior

The Red Agent behaves like a real attacker, adjusting prompts, strategizing next moves, and shifting tactics mid-attack. Agentic Fingerprints allow you to follow the logic step-by-step.

Explainability for Audit and Governance

Agentic Fingerprints provide an audit trail of every decision made during testing. That means security leaders and compliance teams can:

• Trace risky model behavior back to root-cause
• Prove due diligence with visual, shareable reports
• Debug and improve AI systems with confidence

A Foundation for BYO Agents (Coming Soon)

Today, Agentic Fingerprints supports CalypsoAI’s Red Agents. Soon, enterprises will be able to visualize and audit their own agents, laying the groundwork for full lifecycle agent observability and governance.

The Result: Agentic Red-Teaming That’s Visible, Verifiable, and Valuable

With Agentic Fingerprints, security teams get more than static results or one-line summaries. They get a dynamic, fully traceable view of how attacks unfold. This level of transparency empowers red teams to pinpoint weaknesses faster. It enables security leaders to validate testing rigor. It arms GRC teams with defensible evidence for audits and risk assessments.

Agentic Fingerprints sets a new baseline to secure AI systems against intelligent, adaptive threats. Because it’s not just about seeing where the model or application broke, but knowing why and what to do next.
