Ares vs Pentera

Traditional scanners detect. Ares reasons, chains, and validates autonomously.

Pentera is a mature automated security validation platform. It emulates known attack techniques across your network, cloud, and identities, proves how an attacker moves laterally to reach critical assets, and validates whether your SIEM and EDR actually catch the activity. That is real value, and it is a different job from what Ares does. Pentera validates your controls and your infrastructure using known TTPs. Ares hunts the application itself. She finds and exploits the API, web, and mobile flaws unique to your code, the broken object level authorization and business logic abuse that no replay of known techniques will surface. Pentera tells you whether your defenses caught a known playbook. Ares tells you what a determined attacker can do to your apps that no one has seen yet.
