"Traditional Pentesting and Red teaming involves multiple tools and manual effort. FireCompass eliminates the need for repetitive manual effort ..significantly helped to improve delivery speed & the depth-breadth of testing.."
-CEO, Security Innovation
Continuous Pentest add 5x more value to the Organization, a best of both Vulnerability Assessment and Traditional Pentest
Organizations employ pentesting to validate critical risks and assess the potential impact of a critical CVE. Traditional pentesting, guided by human experts and following a step-by-step waterfall model, typically covers only 10 to 20% of assets in each assessment.
In contrast, continuous pentesting offers an agile and automated approach that can cover 100% of assets in a single round and responds rapidly to newly added assets or published CVEs.
Our Automated Pentest platform gives you multi-stage attack playbooks to mimic a real attacker and accurately pinpoint prioritized vulnerabilities that would be targeted first. Automated Pentest delivers shorter mean time to remediation and increased depth and breadth of coverage so you can focus on your mission of keeping attackers out and keeping IT/OT services running smoothly and securely.
Gartner says “Nation-state actors and criminal organizations operate with a level of sophistication that surpasses the preventative and detection capabilities of most security and risk management teams.”
How FireCompass Helps
All in a Single Platform – Continuous & Automated
No Interruptions. No Deployment. No Hardware. No Agents.
External Attack Surface Management (EASM)
FireCompass runs continuously and indexes the deep, dark, and surface web using the same reconnaissance techniques as threat actors do & automatically discovers an organization's dynamic digital attack surface. Followed by active validation to eliminate false positives.
Continuous Risks Discovery
Identify Critical Risks within 24 to 72 Hours. FireCompass Multi Stage Hunting Playbooks orchestrate 30K attacks and checks on Network, Web, Cloud and other assets from its geographically distributed sensor network. Hunting Playbooks include ransomware susceptibility assessments, web applications testing, credential stuffing, and objective-based campaigns would be run by attackers. 100% of your assets are continuously tested to uncover all possible security risks possible.
Automated Pentesting
FireCompass Platform performs Recon, Hunting, Attack & Safe Exploitation on the attack surface. Attack & Safe Exploitation provide initial access point, exploitation proof of concepts (PoCs), Sample Data Exfiltration, C2 Agent Installation as some of the ways to validate the risk exploitability,
Alerts Reduction
Failure to conduct frequent & extensive attacker-like reconnaissance leaves low-hanging fruits easily exploited by adversaries. The FireCompass platform works by doing:
- Zero-Knowledge fast internet-based recon on 3 Billion+ IPs using deep, dark and surface web OSINT data collections
- Uses attacker-like MITRE ATT&CK Reconnaissance techniques as threat actors would to collect data from threat intel feeds and correlate them with active scans
- AI/ML driven automated asset attribution to organizational business context
- Active validation eliminates false positives and accurately attributes business context
- Delta Reporting delivers situational awareness to stakeholders about the attack surface
Comprehensive Mitre Coverage
Conventional ASM and VA covers partial MITRE stages upto Reconnaissance and Vulnerability Identification. As a result, EASM with VA is not able to validate risk and security controls effectiveness. Continuous Pentest coves wide spectrum of MITRE framework, use safe and lite exploits to validate risks and security controls.
- Increase Automation & Faster Analysis to free your penetration testers to focus on more challenging work
- Emulate latest threat actors such as Chinese State-Sponsored actors, Russian Threat Actors & more
- Evaluate susceptibility to multiple ransomware flavours
- Conduct DAST and OWASP Top 10 attacks on web based applications
- Perform active social engineering attacks with phishing playbooks
Automated Pentesting
FireCompass Platform performs Recon, Hunting, Attack & Safe Exploitation on the attack surface. Attack & Safe Exploitation uses initial access point, exploitation proof of concepts (PoCs), as some of the ways to validate the risk exploitability.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Automated Red Teaming differ from Manual Red Teaming and Penetration Testing?
Automated Red Teaming is a continuous, automated process of testing the security of a system by simulating the activities of an adversary with the goal of uncovering weaknesses in the system. It uses a combination of automated tools and processes such as vulnerability scans, port scans, and other scanning techniques to detect potential vulnerabilities. Manual red teaming and penetration testing cannot be continuous processes due to limitations in time and budget and expertise. Automated Red Teaming is also more effective at uncovering weaknesses that may have been overlooked by manual testing. Automated Red Teaming can be used to supplement manual red teaming and penetration testing, providing a more comprehensive security evaluation.
