Autonomous Penetration Testing

Continuous penetration testing that proves what's exploitable, with evidence.

A pentest report tells you what was exploitable the week it ran. Your attack surface changes the day after it lands. Panop tests continuously and exploits safely, so when it says a finding is exploitable, that's not a severity score. It's a demonstrated fact, with the evidence attached.

A pentest that never stops

Annual testing leaves your surface unverified for the other 51 weeks. Panop tests continuously: every new asset, every configuration change, every deployment gets probed the way an attacker would probe it, the day it appears, not next year

path

Exploited safely, so "exploitable" means something

Panop doesn't stop at "this looks vulnerable." It exploits findings under strict guardrails, proving access without touching data or leaving anything behind. The result: zero argument-with-the-scanner meetings, because every critical comes with proof.

evidence

Three mediums can be one critical

Attackers don't exploit findings, they chain them. Panop pentests the way they do: an exposed API, a leaked supplier credential, and a reachable datacenter are three shrugs in a scanner report and one demonstrated breach in Panop.

cve

Evidence your auditors accept

NIS2 and DORA expect regular, documented security testing, not a PDF from last spring. Every Panop finding ships with a sanitised proof of concept, a full timeline, and its mapping to the testing requirements your auditors check.

attack

Where severity scores become demonstrated facts.

Validation is the stage that decides whether a finding is real. Panop takes what discovery and posture assessment surfaced, executes attacker techniques against it under strict guardrails, and chains findings the way an adversary would. What comes out is not a ranked list of maybes but a set of exposures with a proven path and the evidence to show it.

What does Panop test for, and what counts as proof?

Validation is only meaningful if the proof is specific. Each class is confirmed by a technique chosen to demonstrate access without acting on data, and each confirmed finding carries the artefact a remediation engineer needs to reproduce it. Many of these never receive a CVE, which is why CVSS and EPSS scores cannot rank them.

Vulnerability classes Panop validates, the technique used to confirm each and the evidence recorded
Vulnerability classHow Panop confirms itEvidence recorded
Cloud and edge misconfigurationTests permissive storage, over-broad identity policy and CDN or WAF bypass from an untrusted network position.The bypass route and the resource it reached.
Broken authentication and access controlAttempts the privileged action as an unauthenticated or lower-privileged principal to confirm the boundary does not hold.The boundary crossed and the exact request that crossed it.
Exposed interfaces and live credentialsAuthenticates against administrative endpoints using discovered or leaked credentials, then stops at confirmation of access.The endpoint, the credential source and the access confirmation.
Remote code execution (RCE)Command injection, unsafe deserialisation and vulnerable-component paths, proven by an out-of-band callback rather than by running a payload on the host.The callback record, the entry point and the affected component.
Cross-site scripting (XSS)Establishes that a reflected, stored or DOM-based payload executes in the rendered document, rather than merely appearing in the response body.The payload, the injection point and the rendered execution context.
Injection flaws in application logicInjects a benign condition into the parameter and compares responses to establish that the query or command is genuinely influenced, without extracting records or acting on data.The request, the differential response and the affected parameter.

Built to prove exploitability, not estimate it

Three testing behaviours that separate a demonstrated breach from a scanner severity rating.

  • Every new asset, configuration change and deployment gets probed the day it appears, instead of leaving the surface unverified between annual engagements.

Frequently asked questions

The questions security teams ask most about running penetration testing continuously.

Does this replace a manual penetration test?

It replaces the coverage gap between them. A manual engagement gives you depth and human creativity on a defined scope for the week it runs, then leaves the surface unverified until the next one. Panop keeps offensive validation running against the whole estate in between, so a manual test starts from a surface that is already mapped and already proven exploitable in the obvious places.

Is it safe to run against production?

Exploitation runs under strict guardrails designed to prove access without acting on it. Panop confirms that a path works, captures the evidence and stops there, without reading or altering data and without leaving artefacts behind. That boundary is what allows validation to run continuously against live infrastructure rather than only in a staging copy.

Why does chaining findings matter?

Attackers rarely rely on one flaw. An exposed API, a leaked supplier credential and a reachable internal service can each read as medium severity in isolation while combining into full access. Panop tests the combinations as well as the individual findings, which is how three items a scanner would shrug at become one demonstrated breach with a documented path.

What happens after a fix ships?

The same test re-runs automatically to confirm the path is actually closed rather than trusting the ticket. Because validation is continuous, a fix that only partly mitigates the issue, or a regression that reopens it later, shows up as a finding again instead of staying closed on paper.

Can continuous pen testing satisfy PCI DSS requirement 11.4?

Requirement 11.4 asks for internal and external testing against a defined methodology at least every twelve months and again after any significant infrastructure or application change, with exploitable findings corrected and re-tested. The annual half is straightforward; the post-change half is what breaks when a cloud estate moves weekly. Because Panop re-runs validation when infrastructure changes, the post-change test and its dated record already exist rather than needing a new engagement. Deep manual pen testing on novel business logic still complements it.
