Autonomous penetration testing uses specialized AI agents to find and exploit vulnerabilities in a target system without a human pentester driving each step. Sekura runs a 7-phase pipeline — white-box SAST, recon, post-quantum crypto review, dynamic probing, exploit synthesis, chain analysis, and reporting — and verifies each finding by actually exploiting it.

Vulnerability scanners output a list of potential issues ranked by severity score. Sekura verifies each finding through actual exploitation and only reports what it can prove. If a vulnerability cannot be exploited in the target environment, Sekura does not report it. The result is a short, ranked list of real, exploitable issues instead of thousands of theoretical alerts.

No. Every reported finding includes a deterministic proof-of-exploit — the exact request, payload, and response that demonstrates the vulnerability is real. If Sekura cannot produce a proof, the finding is not reported.

A manual pentest is a point-in-time engagement that takes weeks and costs $30,000 to $150,000 per cycle. Sekura runs continuously, covers the whole attack surface, and updates as your environment changes. Both produce proofs-of-exploit; only Sekura runs every hour.

Sekura works with Anthropic Claude and OpenAI GPT models. LLM calls are routed through proxy.sekura.ai so customers see exact token counts and pay one metered cost. Self-hosted Enterprise deployments can use private model endpoints.

No. The scanner runs entirely inside your GitHub Actions runner (cloud distribution) or behind your firewall (enterprise distribution). Sekura sees prompts and responses to the LLM proxy but never your repository contents. Findings are uploaded; source code is not.

The scanner CLI and agent runtime are source-available. The orchestration platform, dashboard, and managed cloud are commercial. See github.com/sekuraai for the public components.

Sekura combines application security testing (SAST + DAST + exploit chaining) with LLM-security testing (prompt injection, jailbreak, data exfiltration) and post-quantum cryptography review (crypto-agility audits flagging quantum-vulnerable algorithms) in a single scan. Most tools cover one of these surfaces; Sekura covers all three.
