Pentera Core

Validate your internal network security against real-world attacks with Pentera Core. Leverage AI-driven pentesting to continuously test your production environments at scale, prioritize business-critical cyber risk, and reduce proven exposure with zero additional headcount.
Thanks for reaching out! We'll be in touch soon to set up your personalized demo - prepare to unlock security insights about your environment!
Validate exposure
Identify exploitable security gaps in your internal networks

Pentera Core identifies exploitable security gaps across internal networks by emulating real adversarial TTPs. Its AI-driven pentesting combines vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, identities, and credentials to reveal complete attack kill chains, pinpoint their root cause, and prioritize what needs fixing first.

Operational outcomes
Increase the scale and impact of your adversarial testing program with no additional headcount needed.

Close internal network gaps before they become a breach

80%
Reduction in Proven Cyber Risk
Focus remediation on proven exploitable exposures across internal networks and infrastructure with continuous adversarial testing.
90%
Elimination of non-exploitable noise
Stop chasing theoretical CVEs. Focus only on vulnerabilities that can be proven and chained into real attacks and those required to meet SLAs
20x
Internal network testing coverage
Replace limited IP ranges and sampled assets to continuous, multi-segment attack emulation across the internal network with no additional headcount.
24/7
Adversarial testing
Don’t wait for planned pentesting/red-team engagements. Test on-demand to validate at any moment and any frequency.
AI in Pentera Core

Attack path root cause analysis

Attack path root cause analysis

Determine how attackers can reach your high-value assets in production. Identify the root causes that enable attack progression and prioritize remediation based on proven cyber risk instead of assumptions.

Credential-based access validation

Credential-based access validation

Understand how compromised credentials can be used to access your environments. Identify and harden weak passwords that put your systems at risk.

Privilege escalation testing

Privilege escalation testing

Expose escalation paths from standard users to elevated privileges. Remove excessive permissions and prevent attackers from gaining administrative control.

Attack Map Visualization

Attack map visualization

Visualize how attackers move across internal systems, network segments, and trust boundaries, mapped to MITRE ATT&CK techniques. Understand the complete kill chain to prioritize high-impact fixes and enrich remediation guidance with actionable context.

Security Control Assessment

Security control assessment

Evaluate how your EDR/XDR, AV, SIEM, firewalls, and identity controls detect and respond to real-world attack techniques mapped to MITRE ATT&CK. Fine-tune detection logic and optimize response workflows to reduce MTTD and MTTR and stop attackers before they reach critical assets.

Executive & Compliance Reporting

Executive & compliance reporting

Translate validated exposure findings into clear, executive-ready reporting. Demonstrate risk reduction to boards, auditors, regulators, and cyber insurers with defensible, evidence-based insights.

TESTING TYPES

Proactively test your security against any threat

Select the test that matches the threat you want to validate.
  • Penetration Testing (Black Box)
  • What-if (Grey Box)
  • Ransomware Emulation
  • AD Password Assessment (ADPA)
  • OWASP Top 10 Testing
  • CISA KEV Targeted Tests
Penetration Testing (Black Box)

Run safe, assumed-breach penetration tests without prior knowledge of the environment or credentials to identify the most critical exploitable vulnerabilities tied to real-world attack techniques. Testing focuses on exposures leading to remote code execution and privilege escalation and is continuously updated using industry frameworks and threat intelligence, including MITRE, CVEs, NIST, and CISA, enriched by Pentera’s in-house research.

What-if (Grey Box)

Assess blast radius by running targeted penetration tests that assume an attacker has already obtained valuable access, such as user credentials. Safely understand the impact of an initial breach and how far an attacker could progress within the environment.

Ransomware Emulation

Run precise ransomware attack emulation to identify exposure against known threats groups. Validate your security against a wide range of ransomware strains such as REvil, Conti, Maze, LockBit 3.0, CI0p, BlackCat (ALPHV), Play and more.

AD Password Assessment (ADPA)

Evaluate the real strength of your entire active directory by safely cracking password hashes offline. Identify accounts that comply with password policy but remain exploitable by attackers using modern cracking techniques.

OWASP Top 10 Testing

Identify and validate exploitable vulnerabilities in web application interfaces by mimicking real attacker behavior. Test against the OWASP Top 10 using multiple fuzzing and exploitation techniques to uncover high-risk weaknesses.

CISA KEV Targeted Tests

Validate exposure to vulnerabilities actively exploited in the wild by targeting entries from CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. Quickly determine whether known threats can be leveraged in your environment and how they can be prevented.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Pentera Core runs tests in live production environments. Every Pentera attack technique is created by the Pentera Labs research team and tested to ensure no impact to customer environments. Additionally, the tests are executed under customer-controlled guardrails, including throttling, impact limits, emergency stop controls, optional read-only modes, and full audit logging.

No. Pentera Core runs full internal attack paths regardless of obtained or assumed access. It can perform both Black Box and Grey Box testing and continues through lateral movement, privilege escalation, and post-exploit objectives.

Pentera Core records all attack actions executed during a test, their results, and the behavior of security controls throughout the attack chain. It captures successful and failed techniques, lateral movement paths, detection or prevention points, and where an attack was ultimately stopped, providing full visibility into how defenses performed against real-world attacker behavior.

Pentera Core uses artificial intelligence (AI) to orchestrate and adapt internal attack execution while remaining fully controlled by customer-defined guardrails. Pentera’s AI layer translates live attack activity into contextual insights.

Yes. Pentera Core re-runs attack paths to confirm whether remediation reduces attacker reach. When used with Resolve, results can be revalidated within remediation workflows.
