It runs always-on across your full external surface, using AI agents to spot overlooked weaknesses, reason through context, and chain the multi-step moves a skilled adversary would. It has already uncovered real exposures in live environments. Here’s how it works.
Read more about Continuous AI Pentesting: What We’re Building, and What It’s Already FindingMost organisations don’t know what’s on their external attack surface. Richard Stiennon joins our CEO Rob Gurzeev to unpack why attackers always find what defenders miss, and how AI is making that gap harder to close.

Modern security frameworks often fail by surfacing endless vulnerabilities without context. This blog explores how the CTEM framework’s Validation stage provides “permission to ignore” theoretical risks, allowing teams to focus engineering resources exclusively on confirmed, evidence-based, and exploitable threats.
