Terra Security has developed the Terra Platform™, which uses agentic AI combined with human expertise to provide continuous penetration testing across AI systems, networks, and web apps. This approach reduces testing time from weeks to hours and adapts to evolving environments, addressing the limitations of traditional periodic pentesting.

What happened

Terra Security has launched the Terra Platform™, which uses agentic AI and human experts to provide ongoing penetration testing for AI systems, networks, and web applications. The platform is designed to run security assessments continuously, rather than at set intervals, and adapts as environments change. Terra Security's approach aims to identify vulnerabilities as they arise, rather than after scheduled testing cycles. The company also includes human oversight in the process to ensure safety and compliance during testing.

Key details

  • Terra Platform™ reduces penetration testing timelines from 4-6 weeks to a few hours.
  • The platform combines agentic AI with human security researchers.
  • Continuous testing covers AI systems, network infrastructure, and web applications in one system.
  • Terra's Human-on-the-Loop model ensures experts oversee critical decisions.
  • Organizations can see up to four times the return on investment without increasing staff or budgets.

Why it matters

Security teams at organizations deploying AI, expanding cloud infrastructure, or accelerating software development can now detect and address vulnerabilities much faster. This reduces the window of exposure between traditional periodic tests and helps prioritize risks that are relevant to their specific business environment. Companies can improve security coverage and efficiency without needing to hire more personnel or increase budgets, while maintaining human control over automated testing.
