Autonomous Ethical Hacking and Continuous Pentesting

Ethiack specializes in continuous cybersecurity assessment through hybrid approaches combining autonomous AI-powered penetration testing and human ethical hacking expertise. The company deploys AI-driven pentesting agents and ethical hackers to simulate real-world attacks 24/7, identifying vulnerabilities across digital environments while prioritizing threats using algorithms informed by CVSS 3.1 scoring and custom weighting tied to asset importance.

The company seamlessly integrates into DevOps/CICD workflows to enable proactive threat detection aligned with organizational development cycles, supporting regulatory compliance frameworks like NIS2, DORA, and CSA.

Ethiack’s methodology combines machine efficiency with human strategic insight, where AI handles routine vulnerability scanning and validation while elite ethical hackers address complex scenarios requiring contextual understanding or novel exploit strategies. The company calculates risk scores based on vulnerability severity, exposure duration, and asset value, providing prioritized remediation guidance to reduce operational noise and false positives.

In October 2024, Ethiack raised €4 million in a round led by Explorer Investments with participation from CoreAngels, Paulo Marques, Startup Wise Guys, Aralab, Amena Ventures, and Start Ventures.
