Terra Security Raises $7.5M in Seed Round for Its Agentic AI Pen Testing Solution
Terr Security, a cutting-edge cybersecurity firm, has secured a whopping $7.5 million in seed funding to further develop its innovative agentic AI pen testing platform.
The investment round was led by SYN Ventures and FXP Ventures, with participation from Underscore VC and notable angel investors including former Google CISO Gerhard Eschelback and Ofer Ben-Noon and Ohad Bobrov, founders of Talon Security. This significant funding will enable Terra to advance its platform, expand its AI agents' capabilities, and grow its customer base.
The pen testing landscape is a challenging one, with organizations struggling to keep up with the ever-evolving threat landscape. Traditional manual pen testing methods are slow, expensive, and unscalable, leaving many businesses vulnerable to attacks. This is where Terra Security comes in – its agentic AI platform offers a game-changing solution for continuous web application penetration testing.
Terra's platform is designed to think like a white hat hacker, using dozens of fine-tuned AI agents to conduct thousands of best-of-breed tests with unparalleled efficiency and accuracy. These agents adapt in real-time based on unique business contexts and risk profiles, ensuring that Terra's platform can uncover even the most sophisticated vulnerabilities.
One of the key differentiators of Terra's platform is its human-in-the-loop mechanism, which ensures maximum accuracy and reliability. When new vulnerabilities surface, Terra's AI agents autonomously launch precise tests, guided by human experts to guarantee the highest level of effectiveness.
The market for cybersecurity solutions is rapidly evolving, with ethical hacking mechanisms becoming increasingly important for businesses looking to protect themselves against threats. Terra Security is poised to revolutionize this space with its agentic AI platform, which brings together the accuracy and depth of skilled human testers with the scale and efficiency of automated solutions.
"In the grand scheme of cybersecurity, ethical hacking has long been underutilized due to its inefficiencies and human dependencies," says Shahar Peled, CEO and Co-Founder of Terra. "But we believe that our agentic AI platform offers a compelling solution for businesses looking to stay ahead of the threat curve."
"We're thrilled to have secured this significant investment from leading venture capital firms," adds Peled. "This funding will enable us to further develop our platform and expand our team, ensuring that we can deliver the best possible solutions for our customers."
With its innovative agentic AI platform and strong management team, Terra Security is an exciting company to watch in the rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape.
