Make Your Pentesting Focused, Repeatable, and Defensible
Automatically plan, scope, and orchestrate penetration testing based on real risk. Move from generic testing checklists to targeted testing driven by architecture, threats, and exposure, while retaining evidence that holds up to scrutiny.
Traditional Penetration Testing is Disconnected From Real Risk
Penetration testing remains a critical control but in most organizations, it’s disconnected from the signals that matter most.
Teams struggle because:
- Test scope is defined manually and inconsistently
- Pentests aren’t clearly tied to architecture or threat models
- High-risk areas may be under-tested, while low-risk areas consume time
- Results are delivered as static reports, not reusable evidence
- Testing is hard to repeat consistently across releases
The result is testing effort that’s expensive, difficult to defend, and poorly aligned to real exposure.
Penetration testing is most effective when it’s driven by real risk, scoped intentionally, and integrated into the broader security workflow.
Finite State automates pentest planning and orchestration by using architecture, threat models, reachability, and verification context to define what should be tested and why. Test plans stay aligned as software evolves, and results become durable evidence instead of one-off reports.
This is enabled by:
- Design-time risk and threat context in Assurance Studio
- Agent OS to derive test scope, logic, and workflow orchestration
- Finite State Copilot to coordinate execution and manage evidence
How It Works
Identify What Actually Needs to Be Tested
Pentest scope is derived from architecture, trust boundaries, threat models, attack paths, reachability, and security requirements. This focuses testing on components and interfaces that meaningfully affect risk.
What you get: Clear, justified test scope aligned to real exposure.
Generate Targeted Pen Test Plans
Identified risks are translated into structured pentest plans that define:
- What scenarios to test
- Which components, interfaces, and flows are in scope
- Why each test exists, with traceability to threats and requirements
Plans are reviewable, adjustable, and reusable across releases.
What you get: Consistent, risk-driven test plans without manual scoping.
Orchestrate Testing Across Internal and External Teams
Pentest plans can be assigned to internal teams or external testers with scope, assumptions, and objectives made explicit. Testing stays connected to the broader security workflow instead of operating as a standalone engagement.
What you get: Better execution with fewer surprises and less rework.
Capture and Integrate Results as Evidence
Pentest findings, validation results, and artifacts are captured and linked directly to the threats, requirements, and builds they apply to. Results persist across releases and feed downstream verification, release readiness, and compliance workflows.
What you get: Reusable evidence instead of static reports.
Re-Run and Refine as Software Changes
As designs or builds change, pen test plans can be re-used, refined, or expanded. New risk triggers new testing; unchanged areas don’t require redundant effort.
What you get: Testing that scales with change without starting from scratch.
Key Focus Areas
Risk-Driven Test Scoping
Define what to test based on architecture, threats, and exposure—not assumptions.
- Impact: Testing effort targets the areas of highest risk.
Targeted Depth Based on Exposure
Align testing intensity with real exploitability.
- Impact: Higher signal from testing with less wasted effort.
Integrated, Reusable Evidence
Treat penetration test results as durable security evidence.
- Impact: Testing outcomes are easier to defend and reuse.
What This Enables
With automated pentest planning and orchestration, teams can:
Focus testing on what actually matters
Improve coverage of high-risk areas
Retain defensible evidence from testing
Scale security testing as software evolves
Penetration testing becomes a strategic control, not a checkbox.
