What it is

Pentera Platform validates security controls by emulating attacks, helping security teams identify proven exposure and support remediation. Its Core, Surface, and Cloud offerings cover internal networks, external attack surfaces, and cloud environments; listed coverage also includes web applications, endpoints, servers, services, and network devices. Simulations are agentless, can run continuously, and map to MITRE ATT&CK. Pentera Resolve prioritizes validated attack paths and supports remediation and retesting to check for reduced exposure. Pentera Peer provides an AI-native interface for analyzing adversarial testing, including natural-language queries about findings and validated paths. For production use, customer-controlled safeguards include throttling, impact limits, emergency stops, optional read-only modes, and audit logs. Listed integrations include AWS, Azure, GCP, Okta, Jira, ServiceNow, Slack, GitHub, CrowdStrike, and Microsoft Defender. Pentera says AI data is hashed and encrypted, not used for model training, and not retained by Pentera. The platform is paid, with pricing on request. Pentera was founded in 2015.
