Pentera provides an automated security validation platform that simulates cyberattacks to test an organization's security posture. The company was founded in 2015 by Dr. Arik Liberzon and Arik Faingold, who converted penetration testing and red-teaming expertise from cyber warfare operations into software. The platform automates penetration testing and red team exercises, allowing organizations to continuously validate their security controls and identify vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them. Pentera's technology performs automated attack simulations across internal networks and external-facing assets, testing security measures in real-world scenarios without requiring manual intervention. The company serves over 1,000 enterprise customers across 60+ countries. Pentera has developed multiple products including their core automated penetration testing platform and Pentera Surface, a SaaS product that validates security for external-facing assets. The platform covers various attack vectors and security domains, enabling organizations to assess their defenses continuously rather than relying on periodic manual assessments. Pentera has raised multiple funding rounds from investors including Awz Ventures, The Blackstone Group, Insight Partners, K1 Investment Management, and Evolution Partners. The company operates globally with teams across multiple regions including EMEA, Americas, and APAC. Their research labs continuously develop new attack capabilities to keep the platform current with evolving threat landscapes.
