Abler
Abler, a SaaS recruitment and hiring platform, was looking for a fast and continuous view of its application security, keeping pace with the product’s evolution and development speed. The team already performed internal code reviews, but wanted to go further: to truly validate the real security posture of the application.
In this context, Conviso’s Autonomous Pentest with AI became the ideal solution to combine speed, technical depth, and integration into the development lifecycle.

Security integrated into the productThe experience led Abler to integrate security directly into its CI/CD pipeline.
Autonomous Pentest with AI
Autonomous AI Pentest that executes real attack simulations, identifies vulnerabilities, and delivers a severity-prioritized list of findings, technical evidence with proof of concept, documented attack chains, and execution history for continuous retesting.
The same solution used by Abler, which can integrate directly into your company’s development lifecycle.
The challenge
Abler’s security journey started organically: the development team performed internal code reviews, focusing on identifying the most evident vulnerabilities. As the product and customer base grew—including sensitive candidate data such as names, email addresses, phone numbers, and physical addresses—the need emerged to go further.
The goal was not to meet an external requirement, but to maintain a clear and continuous view of the application’s security posture, keeping pace with the product’s evolution in real time. The core question was simple: is there something we still haven’t seen?
Main areas of concern
I wanted to validate the real security posture. To know whether there was actually something there or not. Because there’s always someone trying to exploit vulnerabilities, and we handle a significant amount of personal data.

The pentest journey with Conviso
Abler chose Conviso’s Autonomous Pentest with AI to perform a complete assessment of its APIs and applications. The goal was to obtain a fast and in-depth security view that could be repeated with every relevant product evolution, without depending on long manual testing cycles.The decision was driven by execution speed, depth of logical exploitation, and the quality of support provided by the Conviso team.
The engagement included:
Differentiators recognized by Abler
Much faster execution than conventional approaches
The pentest was completed in less than 3 hours — a fraction of the time required for a traditional manual assessment performed by human analysts. The AI does not “fill hours”; it explores as much as possible and stops when it reaches the limit of meaningful findings, avoiding unnecessary costs.
This allowed Abler to gain a complete view of the application’s security posture on the same day, with remediation starting immediately instead of waiting for lengthy reports.
The first difference I noticed was the speed — everything moved much faster. Finding vulnerabilities and fixing them faster is extremely relevant.

Depth of logical exploitation
Beyond broad coverage, the pentest identified vulnerabilities that had existed in the application since day one and had passed through every internal review without being detected. Issues in customer registration and editing functionalities, present since the early days of the application when there were no customers yet, were only uncovered through the AI’s depth of logical exploration.
These types of findings — hidden in legacy code and less obvious workflows — are exactly where manual coverage tends to be weaker.
That issue had existed since day zero of the application, when we didn’t even have customers. How had no developer ever caught this? That’s exactly the point — the speed of identification.

Guided, clear, and actionable remediation
For every finding, the Conviso Platform delivered detailed remediation guidance, eliminating the time developers would normally spend investigating root causes. With the instructions already available, the team fixed vulnerabilities on the same day they were identified — including weekends and outside business hours.
You already delivered the exact path to fix it. I entered the platform, investigated it, the correction was already pointed out, and we fixed it immediately. It was spot on.

A methodology that prioritizes what matters most
The Conviso Platform organized vulnerabilities by priority level — high, medium, and low — ensuring that the most critical issues were addressed first. This prevented the team from getting lost in an extensive list of findings without a clear direction for action.
If we give the technical team enough speed so that every new finding gets fixed within the workflow, things really start moving. In my opinion, that changes everything.

Results achieved
With findings delivered in a clear and actionable way, Abler fixed all identified vulnerabilities within a single remediation cycle, on the same day the pentest was executed.
More than addressing specific issues, the experience shifted the team’s mindset toward a continuous security approach, directly integrated into the pace of development.
It was great because it opened our eyes. Vulnerabilities that could have been exploited today have already been fixed.
