Shinobi is built for developer pipelines, with core CI/CD integrations, but it runs single-pass validation and has no proprietary model. Novee proves exploitability with independent validation and deterministic checks, and compounds context every cycle.
Aikido’s new pentesting offering is real but shallow, focused on compliance and targeting developers, not security teams. It’s a mechanism to generate SOC 2/ISO 27001 PDF reports.
No proprietary offensive model.
Single-pass validation architecture.
No compounding context across runs.
Business logic depth is unproven.
Retesting, no stack-specific fixes.
Autonomous testing is only as valuable as what it proves, how confidently you can act, and whether the fix holds.
A proprietary offensive AI stack.
Validation built for zero false positives.
A closed loop to a verified fix.
Context that compounds every cycle.
Predictable per-asset pricing.
Coverage including AI apps
| Capability | Novee AI Pentesting | Shinobi |
|---|---|---|
| Offensive AI stack | Proprietary offensive reasoning model, post-trained on real attacker tradecraft and orchestrated using a proprietary harness with best-in-class frontier models selected per task (multi-model). Optimized with every recurring test cycle. |
No proprietary model. Relies on third-party models, so its offensive reasoning is capped by whatever those base models provide. |
| Validation architecture | Three independent agents (a finder, a validator, and a blind re-validator with no shared context) plus deterministic checks where possible. If any stage fails, the finding is never reported. |
Single-pass architecture, no independent confirmation between a false positive and your team. |
| Testing depth | Reasons through your application and chains business logic flaws into real attack paths, the way a human attacker would. |
Claims business logic coverage in blog posts, but with no proprietary model that depth is hard to prove. |
| Compounding application context | Builds an Asset Intelligence Model of roles, workflows, APIs, and business logic that deepens every cycle. |
Starts fresh on each assessment; context does not compound across runs. |
| Closed-loop remediation & retesting | Remediation tailored to your WAF, backend, and codebase, not generic OWASP. Automatic retesting confirms the fix held and flags new risk the change introduced. |
Retests fixes, but the remediation isn’t stack-specific. |
| Coverage | Web apps, APIs, mobile apps, and AI agents/LLMs across your external footprint |
Web, REST API, GraphQL, gRPC, and mobile (Android, iOS). No AI agent or LLM testing. |
| Continuous, change-triggered testing | Runs on demand or automatically when code ships via CI/CD. No scheduling, tokens, or human intervention. |
Runs continuously, triggered through CI/CD integration when code ships. |
| Workflow and CI/CD Integration | Native CI/CD and change-triggered workflows, plus Jira and GitHub. Fixes drop to the code level, aligned to your codebase. |

“As the leading agentic orchestration platform for the enterprise, data isolation between our customers is non-negotiable. We need to prove that continuously, not once a year. Novee adapted to our multi-tenant SaaS product within days.”
“Our pen tests took weeks and consistently missed critical issues. Novee found them immediately and gave us instant remediation guidance. It showed us what we'd been missing.”
"Traditional DAST produced either zero or irrelevant results. We needed something that could identify complex vulnerabilities like server-side request forgery. Novee consistently surfaces findings we simply weren't seeing before."
“Novee rethinks penetration testing for how attacks actually happen today. Continuous, attacker-level validation that proves what’s exploitable and shows teams exactly how to fix it is a meaningful shift for modern security programs.”
"The hardest vulnerabilities for us to catch aren’t misconfigurations or known patterns. They’re business logic issues that only show up when someone understands how the application is supposed to work. That’s exactly the gap Novee closes."
"We had EASM tools and manual pentests that produced mostly noise. Novee came in black-box with zero credentials and within days found dozens of real vulnerabilities we could actually fix."
“As an AI researcher, what stood out about Novee is that they built a proprietary offensive AI model designed to think like an attacker, rather than wrapping generic LLMs. That matters for enterprise-grade results.”
“This was by far the deepest and fastest security assessment we’ve had. Novee uncovered issues across our web and mobile applications that had gone undetected before, and the level of depth was unlike anything we’d seen from other vendors.”
“We had urgent compliance need and we couldn’t wait weeks for DAST findings, an external exposure audit, and an in-depth pentest report. Instead Novee came in and delivered immediate value with their AI pentesting platform; with their findings, we closed our gaps and quickly met the criteria we needed for certification.”
"Before Novee, we were getting a snapshot once a year. Now we have continuous coverage across our application portfolio, we're already finding things that prior manual pentests missed completely, and I have real confidence that our security posture reflects what's actually in our environment."
