Product

What it actually does

A modular validation platform covering internal network validation (credential relay and reuse, privilege escalation, lateral movement and Active Directory weaknesses), external surface validation, cloud validation and credential exposure testing. Output is an evidenced attack path mapped to recognised adversary technique frameworks rather than a vulnerability list.

Use cases

What people hire it for

Validating which vulnerabilities can actually be chained into compromise
Testing internal network segmentation and Active Directory exposure
Prioritising remediation by proven impact rather than severity score
Re-validating controls after remediation
Producing attack-path evidence for executive and board reporting

Security & privacy

Pentera is deployed into the environment it validates so it can act from an internal vantage point, and is documented as agentless with respect to the hosts it tests. Validation evidence supports control testing and internal audit requirements rather than certifying an organisation.
