Autonomous
penetration
testing.
AI agents run end-to-end security tests across your whole environment — internet-facing systems, web apps and APIs, cloud accounts, and internal networks. Your team gets a live portal plus the formal report, not a PDF that gets filed away.
To make rigorous security testing a continuous practice, not an annual ceremony.
From external entry to demonstrated impact.
A simplified view of how an agent-driven test moved through an anonymized B2B SaaS engagement — the full walkthrough is on the case studies page. Red nodes were taken over. Yellow nodes were identified but not attacked. Grey nodes were seen but not touched. Labels show MITRE ATT&CK techniques — the industry-standard catalog of attacker behaviors.
What other autonomous tools leave out.
Most autonomous pentest tools cover a narrow slice of your environment — code repositories, build pipelines, public web endpoints — and run on autopilot. That’s useful for spot-checks, but it’s not the work an organization commissions a penetration test to do.
Two design choices set our platform apart: operator control that lets your team intervene at any point, and coverage that spans the full surface a real penetration test must address.
You choose how the agent runs.
Three modes — fully autonomous, require human approval before exploitation, or manual with agent assistance. Switch between modes mid-test.
More than build pipelines or public web.
Internet-facing systems, web apps and APIs, cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure), hybrid setups, and internal networks including Active Directory — the full surface a serious test must address.
Three products. One security practice.
APT runs scoped, agent-driven penetration tests. CAE runs an ongoing attack-simulation program with detection feedback to your security operations team. SHIELD is a remediation retainer that closes what either produces. Engage one, two, or all three.
Autonomous Penetration Testing
Agent-driven penetration tests, end to end. External systems, web and APIs, cloud, hybrid, and internal networks. Every test ships with a portal, an API, and the formal report.
Continuous Adversary Emulation
Ongoing attack simulations against the targets you authorize, with every step matched against your security monitoring. Your defenders see what was caught and what slipped through.
Remediation retainer
Block of hours or multi-month retainer, paired with APT or CAE. Our engineers fix the findings your team doesn't have bandwidth for.
When an engagement calls for our consulting team.
Section 31’s consulting team takes on the work where context, scope, or coordination warrant a human lead. Consultants and the platform work together — many engagements use both.
See an engagement, end to end.
A representative engagement against a B2B SaaS environment, walked through the way your team would see it in the portal: scope, attack path, findings, remediation, outcome.
Cross-account exfiltration path in a mid-market SaaS environment.
Five steps from the public web to a customer-data S3 bucket, over three active testing days. Two critical findings, closed in nine days and validated by retest. Report used as SOC 2 audit evidence.
