dissecto Introduces Agentic AI Workflows in HydraVision to Accelerate Cybersecurity Validation

 

Paderborn, Germany, 6.8.2026 – dissecto, a dSPACE Group company, today announced agentic AI workflows for HydraVision, extending its scalable platform for automated cybersecurity testing with controlled agentic AI for security validation. The new capabilities enable organizations to create, automate, and execute complex cybersecurity validation scenarios on real systems faster and more efficiently than ever before.

Built on HydraVision's proven test automation framework, the new functionality helps engineering and cybersecurity teams reduce manual effort, increase test coverage, and significantly shorten validation cycles. By combining AI-driven test creation with controlled execution on physical systems, HydraVision bridges the gap between artificial intelligence and real-world security validation. As the AI-to-physical interface for security testing, HydraVision transforms AI-generated test intent into controlled, repeatable execution on real systems.

"The challenge of the future is no longer developing software, but validating it efficiently," explained Nils Weiss, Senior Manager at dissecto. "By applying agentic AI to security testing workflows, HydraVision enables organizations to keep pace with the rapidly growing volume of AI-generated software while maintaining the traceability, repeatability, and quality required for cybersecurity validation."

This new functionality allows users to create predefined, one-click workflows for common validation tasks, including security regression testing, update validation, and evidence export. These workflows eliminate the need for repetitive manual activities while ensuring consistent and reproducible execution. This enables teams to standardize security validation across projects and development cycles.

A key feature that sets HydraVision apart is its sustainable approach to agentic AI. Although AI accelerates the creation of test cases and automation logic, the resulting test assets remain fully reusable and can be executed repeatedly without requiring continuous AI interaction or additional token consumption. Combined with HydraVision's target-agnostic architecture, organizations can reuse the same test resources across multiple systems under test, reducing engineering effort, minimizing AI operating costs, and enabling a scalable approach to AI-assisted cybersecurity validation.

HydraVision connects cybersecurity engineering with security validation. With agentic AI, cybersecurity artifacts such as TARA results, SBOMs, and SOC or VSOC findings can be to be transformed into executable validation tests, helping development, security, and validation teams collaborate more effectively throughout the product lifecycle. These capabilities integrate seamlessly into existing HydraVision environments, automating testing, reporting, and evidence generation while preserving the audit-ready documentation and governance, which are essential for modern cybersecurity engineering.

The new capabilities are designed for engineers looking to automate repetitive testing activities and for validation leaders seeking greater efficiency, improved traceability, and scalable cybersecurity compliance management. Whether validating software updates, executing security regression tests, or generating compliance evidence, organizations can accelerate security testing while preserving the deterministic and repeatable execution required for security-critical systems.

HydraVision Agentic AI Workflows will be showcased at upcoming industry events, including ScapyCon, dissecto's cybersecurity conference in September. There the company will demonstrate how AI-driven security testing can improve efficiency and accelerate validation processes for automotive, embedded, industrial, and other cyber-physical systems.
