What features should a continuous LLM red teaming platform provide?

A mature platform should do more than run a fixed set of tests on a schedule. Here's what to look for:

• Automated attack simulation - no manual setup required for each test run

• Large, maintained probe library - broad coverage across attack categories, updated as new techniques emerge

• Prompt injection testing - comprehensive, not just basic injections

• Tool abuse testing - validates that tool-calling behavior can't be manipulated

• MCP security testing - specific coverage for MCP server attack surfaces

• Runtime validation - tests that run against live systems, not just staging

• Scheduled and continuous testing - not just on-demand

• Risk scoring - prioritized findings, not an undifferentiated list of alerts

• Remediation guidance - actionable steps, not just "vulnerability found"

• Compliance reporting - evidence for auditors and stakeholders

• Historical trend analysis - visibility into whether security posture is improving over time

The platform should continuously cover production and pre-production as configurations evolve. Akto delivers this across agents, MCP servers, and connected tools, with findings that security teams can actually act on.
