Pentera

Pentera is an automated security validation and pentesting platform that positions itself around continuous threat exposure management. It announced a $60 million Series D in March 2025 led by Evolution Equity Partners, bringing total funding to $250 million, with the CEO saying the money would support AI-driven security validation. Pentera's own release says it is fuelling growth to surpass $200 million in ARR while another outlet says it is scaling toward $100 million in annual revenue, so those revenue claims conflict. Wikipedia's references point to later acquisitions, headlined as an AI remediation company called Dev Ocean and an AI red teaming expansion through EVA, which I did not open and so cannot detail. I found no new 2026 funding round.

Pentera's pricing URL returned a not-found error when I tried to read it, and the company does not publish list prices, so treat it as contact sales. Third-party estimates from two competitors, Synack and Penetrify, put entry pricing around $35,000 a year and typical spend at $50,000 to $100,000 or more depending on asset count and modules, but they have a stake in the comparison, so they are rough at best. One of them cites a Stanford benchmark I could not verify. Ask how licences are scoped, whether by IPs, assets or modules, and whether AI red teaming and remediation are in the base subscription.

Pentera suits security teams that want to validate defences continuously rather than through annual pentests. Compare Horizon3.ai, XBOW and Burp Suite. Browse the Cybersecurity tools directory for more.
