Pentera Automated Security Validation Platform

Pentera's Automated Security Validation platform autonomously emulates the entire cyberattack kill chain from external-facing assets to core enterprise infrastructure, revealing true risk exposure without manual intervention or requiring deep security expertise. The platform's Autonomous Attack Orchestrator intelligently identifies high-value targets and determines optimal attack paths, safely executing real adversary tactics and techniques mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework to test all cybersecurity layers continuously. Unlike traditional point-in-time penetration tests, Pentera enables continuous validation to keep pace with rapidly evolving threats and infrastructure changes, providing organizations with real-time understanding of their security posture.

The platform integrates three critical capabilities in a unified solution: External Attack Surface Management for total attack surface discovery including Shadow IT and web applications; Breach and Attack Simulation for testing security controls against real-world attack scenarios including ransomware; and automated penetration testing that proves exploitability of vulnerabilities beyond simple scanning. Pentera's agentless architecture requires no endpoint installation or network modification, deploying safely by design with strict policies ensuring zero disruption to IT operations. The system creates full attack chains demonstrating real-life impact of exploiting vulnerabilities, helping security teams prioritize remediation based on actual risk rather than theoretical CVSS scores.

Pentera Labs, led by VP of Research Alex Spivakovsky with 24 elite researchers from Israeli defense intelligence units, serves as the research powerhouse behind the platform. The team actively monitors cyber threats, discovers and discloses zero-day vulnerabilities (including critical VMware vCenter flaws), and contributes adversary tactics and techniques to the MITRE ATT&CK framework. Advanced capabilities include RansomwareReady (validates organizational resilience against known ransomware strains), Credentials Exposure (analyzes compromised credentials from dark web and internal sources to identify attack pathways), and surgical remediation guidance that focuses security teams on high-risk exposures first with actionable fix validation workflows. The platform achieved ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification for AI management systems and was named SC Awards Trust Award finalist as Most Promising Unicorn.
