Erik thinks agent-assisted security work may reduce Modal's human penetration-testing frequency from about every six months to perhaps once a year.

“I, I, I mean, to some extent it, it does reduce a little bit the need for us to do-- to bring in pen testers, like human pen testers, which most startups like do on a regular cycle.”

“So maybe previously, you know, we would do it... I actually don't know what the cycle was, but, but I think we used to do it like once every six months, roughly. Maybe now we only need to do it once every year.”

“I, I don't know. But, but like I think with all of these things, you know, humans can also use them to get more efficiently. So like, you know, like I, I, I don't know.”
