Market Bifurcation in Pentesting by 2026 (37%) – AI May Split the Field in Two Rather Than Flatten It, and That Changes Everything About Who Survives the Disruption

By end of 2026, will the penetration testing market bifurcate such that average prices for traditional high-end pentests remain within 20 percent of 2024 rates AND AI-automated pentest offerings commoditize the low end priced comparably to vulnerability scanning tools like Qualys or Tenable under 10K per year for equivalent coverage, rather than AI displacing mid-career pentesters through firm closures and broad price compression across all tiers?
