Head-to-Head

How Sekura stacks up against each competitor category.

vs. Pentera / NodeZero

Automated Pentesting

Full-stack coverage (SAST + DAST + LLM + crypto) at 1/10,000th the cost. Open source, self-hosted, no vendor lock-in. They test networks — Sekura tests everything.

They lack: SAST, LLM red teaming, post-quantum crypto, open source

vs. XBOW

AI Pentesting

Same autonomous exploitation depth, but open-source with 10 SAST engines, LLM red teaming, and post-quantum crypto — at $1.50 instead of $4,000 per test.

They lack: SAST engines, LLM red teaming, post-quantum crypto, open source

vs. Snyk / Checkmarx / Veracode

SAST/SCA Platforms

We don't just find vulnerabilities in code — we exploit them and prove they're real. Shift-left + shift-right in one tool. No separate pentest contract needed.

They lack: Dynamic exploitation, autonomous pentesting, LLM red teaming

vs. Promptfoo

AI/LLM Security

Everything Promptfoo does for LLM security (450+ test cases, multi-turn attacks, RAG testing) plus full-stack infrastructure and web application pentesting. One tool, not two.

They lack: Web pentesting, SAST, network exploitation, crypto assessment

vs. HackerOne / Synack / Cobalt

Human Pentesting

Human-equivalent pentesting depth at machine speed and machine cost. Run daily, not annually. No scheduling, no scoping calls, no waiting.

They lack: Continuous testing, CI/CD integration, predictable cost, SAST

vs. Burp Suite / Metasploit

Manual Tools

Sekura orchestrates these tools automatically with 16 AI agents working concurrently. No skilled operator required — from scan to exploitation proof, fully autonomous.

They lack: Autonomous operation, AI-driven analysis, SAST, LLM red teaming

Why Teams Choose Sekura

16

AI Agents

Per-vuln-class specialized agents — not a monolithic scanner with AI bolted on. Multi-provider LLM support across 85+ models and 22+ providers.

96/96

OWASP WSTG Coverage

100% of OWASP Web Security Testing Guide v4.2 test cases mapped and executed. No other automated tool claims full WSTG coverage.

$0

License Cost

AGPL-3.0 open source. No vendor lock-in, no per-seat licensing, no annual contracts. Pay only for LLM API usage and your own compute.

4

Proof Levels

Real exploitation with formal verdicts — Exploited, Confirmed, Potential, False Positive. Proof-of-concept evidence, not just scanner output.

14

Compliance Frameworks

OWASP Top 10, LLM Top 10, API Top 10, MITRE ATLAS, PCI DSS v4, HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST 800-53, CIS Controls, GDPR, and more.

PQC

Post-Quantum Ready

The only pentesting tool with built-in cryptographic agility assessment. CycloneDX CBOM, quantum readiness scoring, NIST SP 800-227 guidance.

Stop paying $35K+ for annual pentests

Replace point-in-time assessments with continuous autonomous security validation at $1.50/scan.
