Terra Security
Agentic penetration testing platform that runs continuous tests on web apps and networks, with certified human pentesters signing off each report. Terra Security raised a $30 million Series A in September 2025, bringing total funding to about $38 million.
Security teams at regulated companies that want continuous web app and network pentests and still need human-signed reports for audits.
Teams that want a fully self-serve tool, or buyers who need a published price before they talk to sales.
Verdict
Terra Security is an offensive security company founded in 2024 by Shahar Peled and Gal Malachi. Security leaders at companies such as Riskified and WELL Health use its platform to run continuous pentests on web applications, external and internal networks, and AI systems, with findings checked for real exploitability. It stands out because every report is reviewed and signed by certified human pentesters, so a company can test after every change and still hand its auditors a report a person stands behind.

Review Excerpts

“Terra’s approach, combining their Agentic AI system with human oversight, gives the depth and scale a modern security organization needs in their pentest program while increasing accuracy and validating exploitability specific to your web attack surface.”
“Terra has 10X our web attack surface coverage. We went from quarterly pentests to 100% coverage within the same budget.”
“Pricing is quoted after a demo as an annual subscription, so buyers cannot compare it with other pentest options before a sales call.”
