Terra Security
Also known as: Terra Security, Terra, terra.security, Terra Portal
Agentic offensive security platform for continuous penetration testing with human-in-the-loop as the architecture: a swarm of fine-tuned AI agents scopes, discovers, hypothesizes, and validates vulnerabilities across web apps, AI systems, and network infrastructure, while human testers operate inside the same agentic workflow via the gateway and Terra Portal execution layer. Cuts discovery-to-fix from months to hours with proof-of-exploitability reporting. Founded 2024; $38M raised (Felicis-led Series A); Fortune 100 clients; first AWS Partner with the Autonomous Security Validation competency.
Terra Security is an agentic offensive security platform for continuous penetration testing, built from the start around a human-in-the-loop architecture. A coordinated swarm of dozens of fine-tuned AI agents continuously scopes environments, discovers attack surfaces, generates hypotheses, and validates vulnerabilities, running thousands of tests tailored to each organization's business context and risk profile and adapting in real time as applications change. When agents hit their limits, Terra's agentic gateway brings human pentesters into the same agentic workflow with full context preserved, combining the accuracy, safety, and depth of expert testers with the scale of automation; the same gateway lets MSSPs supervise continuous AI-driven testing across client environments. Terra Portal, launched March 2026, is an agentic desktop application serving as the execution layer for testers overseeing AI-driven testing in live production, which the company says cuts the vulnerability discovery-to-fix cycle from an industry average of nearly three months to hours without sacrificing safety or compliance. In May 2026 Terra unified web application, AI system, and network infrastructure testing under one platform, positioning itself as the only continuous agentic platform validating exploitable risk across multi-vector attack chains spanning all three surfaces. Reports deliver proof of exploitability with remediation prioritized by business impact. Founded in 2024, Terra raised $38M within roughly a year ($30M Series A led by Felicis with Dell Technologies Capital and SVCI), serves Fortune 100 clients, added former Google CISO Gerhard Eschelbeck to its board, and became the first AWS Partner to achieve the Security Competency for Autonomous Security Validation. Within the offensive cluster, Terra is the human-in-the-loop, multi-surface entrant alongside XBOW's bug-bounty-proven external testing and Horizon3's production-safe internal pentesting.

Integrations
Continuous agentic testing spans web applications, AI systems, and network infrastructure under one platform, validating multi-vector attack chains across surfaces. Dozens of fine-tuned AI agents run thousands of tests tailored to the organization's business context and risk profile, and the agentic gateway lets human testers and MSSP supervisors operate inside the same agentic workflow with full context preserved. First AWS Partner to achieve the Security Competency for Autonomous Security Validation (March 2026).

scale and complexity of the application landscape under continuous testing across web, AI, and network surfaces
What is public
The platform architecture (agent swarm, human-in-the-loop gateway, Terra Portal, unified web/AI/network coverage) and outcome claims (discovery-to-fix from months to hours) are public; no plans, tiers, or dollar amounts are disclosed.
Variable cost rationale
Cost scales with the size and complexity of the application landscape and the number of surfaces (web, AI, network) under continuous testing.
