AI-Powered Application Security Penetration Testing

Staris builds AI-powered penetration testing technology that automates the full application security testing lifecycle, inventorying assets, detecting vulnerabilities, exploiting them to confirm true positives, and generating executable remediation code. Designed as a virtual application security engineer, the platform analyzes architectural context, frameworks, and user flows to automatically craft attack plans and deliver validated results in as little as 15 minutes.

Staris’ automation engine enables continuous, on-demand testing that scales with modern development cycles, eliminating bottlenecks created by manual penetration testing. Staris focuses on high-fidelity results by providing exploit evidence and filtering out false positives, allowing security teams to prioritize real risks with confidence.

The company addresses the growing demand for rapid, reliable security testing as organizations accelerate software delivery. In January 2025, Staris announced that it had raised $5.7 million in a seed round led by Freestyle VC.
