Sep 1, 2025

Month 2025-09 summary focusing on delivering business value through performance, expanded security testing capabilities, and improved visibility. Work spanned two repositories: akto-api-security/akto and akto-api-security/tests-library. Key outcomes include a vulnerability analysis overhaul with in-memory caching and enhanced cross-report highlighting, expansion of security testing with Agentic Security, MCP Security, and AI Agent Security test suites, and unified Red Teaming terminology. The Test Editor gained NLP classification, CATEGORY filters, and confidence scoring validation, complemented by improved LLM test categorization. Visualization and scoring features now provide clearer latency and category-level insights (P95 Threat Detection latency, category-wise scores with display-name mapping). Documentation was expanded with remediation guidance for LLM and MCP vulnerabilities, and UI stability was improved by disabling the vulnerability-highlighting toggle until maturation.
