Continuous
adversarial testing

Continuous adversarial testing turns offensive AI agents against your own systems: they map your attack surface, find and exploit real vulnerabilities, ship patches, and retest on every deployment. Where a traditional pentest is a point-in-time snapshot, Pensar's loop runs continuously, so coverage keeps up with an attack surface that changes daily.

A traditional pentest is time-boxed: a small team tests a frozen snapshot for a week or two, then ships a PDF of findings. Pensar runs the same offensive testing continuously with agents, proves every finding with a working exploit, and ships the patch PR alongside it. When you need the formal deliverable, a US-based, OSCP-certified lead audits the findings and signs an audit-ready report.

Neither. Pensar uses your source code and docs to ground reconnaissance: understanding trust boundaries, enumerating assets, and building the threat models that map your attack surface. That context is then fed to the pentesting agents, which attack your running systems the way a real hacker would. Findings are proven exploits against live targets, not static-analysis pattern matches.

Both, and you choose. By default agents plan with white-box context (source code, docs, test credentials) to reach deeper attack paths, then execute real attacks against your running environment: white-box depth with black-box realism. Pensar also supports straight black-box engagements, where agents attack from the outside with no source access, exactly the way an external adversary would.

No. Scanners pattern-match against known signatures and flood you with theoretical alerts. Pensar proves real exploits at runtime, including the chained, multi-step attacks and business-logic flaws that scanners structurally miss. Every finding ships with a reproducible proof of concept and a patch, so there is nothing theoretical to triage.

By default Pensar runs against staging or preview environments, scoped to the targets you choose. Most teams wire it into CI/CD so every staging build is adversarially tested before it ships.

Yes, that's the default way to run Pensar. Wire it into your pipeline and every staging or preview deployment kicks off adversarial testing, with findings coming back as proven exploits and reviewable patch PRs before the release ships. You can also point it at an environment on demand.

First proven exploits typically land within 30 minutes of pointing Pensar at an environment. Each finding arrives with the working exploit that proves it and a reviewable PR that fixes it.

Yes. Pensar will assign an OSCP-certified, US-based pentester to write and deliver an audit-ready pentest report. Our pentesters audit findings, ensure complete scope coverage, and close any testing gaps before delivering a full pentest report. Redacted report can be shared upon request.

The engine is. Apex is the open-source offensive agent that powers Pensar, free to point at your own code, infra, or agents. The hosted platform adds continuous orchestration, reporting, and the Applied AI team to run it with you.
