| Summary | On-demand penetration testing run by a fleet of AI hacker agents, paired with Hadrian Atlas for continuous external exposure management. | Offensive security platform using AI agents for attack surface discovery, business-logic DAST and multi-agent pentesting (Cascade) of APIs and web apps. | Italian offensive-security platform whose agentic AI hacker continuously maps APIs and applications, chains API interactions to find exploitable flaws, and validates findings for remediation. | Portuguese autonomous pentesting platform: the Hackian agentic AI maps the attack surface, runs exploitation routines, chains attack paths and delivers proof-of-exploit with compliance-ready reports. | On-demand, code-aware web-app pentesting by AI agents built by Intruder's CREST-certified testers, with audit-ready reports in hours and issue-level 'micro pentests' to triage scanner findings. | Autonomous pentesting platform that runs unlimited self-directed internal, external, cloud, Kubernetes and AD pentests, plans attack paths, guides remediation and re-tests to verify fixes. |
