Top AI-Powered Penetration Testing Companies and Platforms

Several companies and platforms now offer AI-driven or AI-augmented penetration testing services that blend automation, human validation, and advanced vulnerability scanning. Horizon3.ai, recognized on the 2023 Fortune Cyber 60 list, delivers an autonomous penetration testing solution called NodeZero for continuous enterprise attack-surface assessment. Penti offers “Agentic AI” pentesting software as a service, where AI agents conduct deep, ongoing testing and human experts verify findings. Securily uses AI agents to scope, scan, prioritize risks, and provide remediation guidance, even including video evidence of vulnerabilities. Tools like Terranova AI promise rapid web application testing with unique remediation plans. GoCyber provides continuous AI-based testing that adapts to changes in infrastructure. Cyber Strike AI enables chatbot-driven penetration testing with real-time detection and professional reporting. AXE.AI positions itself as an AI-augmented offensive testing platform with continuous reconnaissance and automated reporting. IMPCE focuses on quick security checks for codebases through GitHub integration and AI pentesting. Manticore.ai’s ShieldProbe streamlines setup and execution of AI-powered pentests in minutes. Traditional validation companies like Pentera automate attack emulation and risk exposure validation. On the academic side, research efforts such as VulnBot, ALFA-Chains, PenTest++, and BreachSeek demonstrate emerging multi-agent, AI-augmented, or autonomous frameworks for future AI penetration testing capabilities. Meanwhile, Bugcrowd adds AI penetration testing to its AI red teaming offerings, helping uncover vulnerabilities in language model systems.

In user discussions, Horizon3 receives favorable mentions from practitioners for its ability to bring testing in-house while retaining third-party oversight. One user said, “we use Horizon3 and it has been really great for us and our customers,” while others expressed skepticism about automated testing’s value unless it significantly outperforms traditional methods—but acknowledged its promise.

OWASP SAMM Skills Framework Enhances Software Security Roles

The OWASP SAMM Skills Framework, introduced on February 9, 2025, is a new initiative donated by Siemens to enhance software security practices within organizations. This framework assigns specific responsibilities to SAMM (Software Assurance Maturity Model) streams, clarifying which roles are involved in advancing each stream. It provides guidance on the necessary skills and training for each role, aligning SAMM-related activities with appropriate stakeholders and their required competencies. This alignment helps organizations identify the right personnel and visualize shared responsibilities, ensuring a structured approach to secure product development. Implementing the OWASP SAMM Skills Framework involves several key steps. Organizations must first map responsibilities to roles, ensuring each task is assigned to the right individual. Next, they must evaluate and align stakeholders with specific SAMM streams, validating that those assigned understand and accept their roles in advanci...
