Ares continuously discovers documented, undocumented, and shadow APIs across your external and internal environments, then validates real risk through live exploitation, giving your team proof of what is exposed, exploitable, and worth fixing first.

Continuous Coverage

Your API attack surface doesn’t wait for your next pentest.

A point-in-time engagement is stale the moment your next endpoint ships. Ares runs live-fire offensive security every day, so exposure is validated as your environment changes, not months later.

Quarterly tests leave gaps

Between reports, new and changed endpoints go live untested. Attackers don’t wait for your reporting cycle, and neither should validation.

Attackers map continuously

What an adversary would map in weeks, Ares maps continuously, tied to data sensitivity and compliance exposure, with no manual inventory.

Proof, not a backlog

Ares validates real exploit paths as your environment changes, so teams fix what is actually exploitable first, with evidence they can verify.

Ares hunts your external and internal environments to surface every API: documented, undocumented, and shadow, and automatically registers each one as a live testing target. No manual inventory. No tribal knowledge. The result is a continuously updated inventory tied to data sensitivity and compliance exposure.

Reconnaissance, exploitation, and validation run as a single autonomous flow that mirrors how real adversaries breach your systems, end to end, in one continuous engagement.

01

Reconnaissance

Ares hunts external and internal environments to surface every API and registers each as a live target, continuously, not once a quarter.

02

Exploitation

She chains vulnerabilities like an adversary: a BOLA flaw into credential theft into lateral movement, running thousands of exploit paths in parallel.

03

Validation

Every finding is confirmed through actual exploitation, with full request and response evidence and a visual map of the complete kill chain.

Ares supports unauthenticated and credentialed API testing using real authentication methods across public and internal environments: no artificial constraints, no visibility gaps.

Real authentication methods

Test unauthenticated and credentialed flows with Bearer tokens, API keys, and user credentials, exactly as a real attacker would use them.

On-prem Docker agent

A lightweight on-prem agent gives Ares secure access to private networks, exposing internal APIs and attack paths traditional pentests ignore.

No visibility gaps

Internal and external, authenticated and anonymous: continuous, adversary-accurate testing at scale across your entire API surface.

Proof, Not Guesswork

Exploit-proven findings, not scanner output.

Every finding ships with complete request and response proof and an immersive visual attack map: no false positives, no guesswork. Results flow directly into the tools your developers already use, with everything they need to fix real vulnerabilities fast.

Ares isn’t a scanner or a checklist. She reasons and attacks like an adversary, which is what makes her findings different.

Attack chains, not alerts

Ares doesn’t stop at a finding. She strings vulnerabilities together the way a real adversary does, chaining a BOLA flaw into credential theft, then into lateral movement, so you see the full kill chain, every request and pivot, as it would play out in a breach.

Exploitation in minutes, not weeks

A human pentester averages two to three vulnerabilities confirmed per day. Ares runs thousands of exploit paths in parallel across your entire API surface, collapsing dwell time between push and proof-of-exploit from a quarterly window to a single build cycle.

Adversary-grade reasoning

Dagger v1 (Ares’s 14-billion-parameter offensive security model) was trained on real exploit chains, not CVE summaries or scanner output. She reasons about business logic, authentication flows, and object relationships the way an attacker does.

Between commits, not quarters

Because testing is continuous and always-on, exposure is validated as code ships. New and changed endpoints are exercised as they appear, not months later in the next scheduled engagement.

Instead of waiting weeks for a human-speed pentest, Ares runs live-fire offensive security continuously, with impact your team can measure in plain terms.

Manual testing hours eliminated

Continuous automated exploitation replaces the weeks of human effort a traditional engagement demands: reclaimed for higher-value security work.

Exposure windows reduced

Real exploit paths are validated as your environment changes, collapsing the gap between when exposure appears and when it’s proven and fixed.

Auditable evidence, automated output

Every result is backed by verifiable request/response proof and auto-generated remediation outputs, with full auditability and no extra reporting overhead.
