Pentera offers an automated security validation platform that launches simulated network attacks to stress-test software and human response. The product, described as "automated security validation," can run safe-by-design mega-attacks while keeping non-security staff unaware. Pentera’s platform identifies specific vulnerabilities, can surface as many as 10,000 alerts and automatically reduces them to six to eight root causes with remediation suggestions. The company incorporates AI considerations into its platform to address evolving attacker and defender tooling. Pentera has grown customers by 200% to 1,100 organizations and expanded ARR by 300% over the last four years. The company is Boston-based and Tel Aviv-founded. Funding will be used for M&A and continued product development, per CEO Amitai Ratzon.
