“That was the core finding in our latest research. In autonomous pentesting, there is a fundamental distinction between a good Strategizer (responsible for planning and orchestration) and a good Executor (responsible for reconnaissance and exploitation) the two core roles we focused on while studying how different frontier LLMs behave when incorporated into Hackian's harness.”

Security teams don't lack vulnerabilities. They lack clarity on what attackers can actually exploit. Ethiack continuously tests and validates exploitability across your entire attack surface using agentic AI pentesting, so teams fix what matters before attackers strike. Exposure keeps growing. Exploitability is unclear. Attackers move faster. Scanners generate noise. Pentests are snapshots. The result: security teams spend hours chasing findings they can't trust, while real risks go undetected. How is Ethiack different? We don't show potential vulnerabilities. We prove what is exploitable, continuously and autonomously, with 99.5% precision. → See — Continuous discovery of your full attack surface: external, internal, cloud, third-party → Test — 24/7 autonomous pentesting triggered by new assets, new threats, or system changes → Act — Validated, prioritised risks with proof-of-exploit and clear remediation guidance Results our customers see ✔ 200%+ annual ROI in reduced cyber risk ✔ 99.5% precision in exploitable vulnerabilities ✔ 90% noise elimination ✔ 80% faster remediation ✔ 8h/week saved per security engineer ✔ 30x faster than manual pentesting Ethiack helps organisations implement Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) with continuous adversarial exposure validation and on-demand pentesting. 🔒 100% European.
