Novee vs. Tenzai

Finding a vulnerability is only half the job. Proving it's real and verifying the fix held is what builds a robust security program.

Tenzai has a strong harness and a fast runtime, but it stops at the finding: no stack-specific remediation, no automatic retesting, and no customer track record. Novee finds vulnerabilities that matter, proves every one is real, and verifies the fix held.

Novee vs. Tenzai at a glance

Challenges with Tenzai

A strong harness and fast findings don’t close the loop in the same way a verified fix does.

Challenges with Tenzai:

  • No proprietary offensive model.

    Tenzai optimizes an agent harness around general models. The capability ceiling is set by the third-party models underneath.
  • Stops at the finding.

    Tenzai ships solid PoCs, but its materials don't describe remediation tailored to your stack or automatic retesting to confirm a fix held. The loop from finding to verified fix stays open.
  • Lighter validation.

    A single validator reproduces findings, with no second blind agent and no described deterministic confirmation. Fewer independent checks means more room for false positives to reach your team.
  • Siloed from the tools devs use.

    Tenzai does not offer the robust suite of integrations necessary for complicated developer workflows. This means more time spent tabbing between dashboards and building manual links.
  • No external proof of value.

    Tenzai is still early in their development, and buying means buying on their word alone, not the testimony of real-world security teams.

Why Novee Over Tenzai?

AI penetration testing is only as valuable as what it uncovers, how confidently you can act on it, and whether the fix actually held.

Where Novee goes further:

  • A proprietary offensive model.

    Novee post-trained its own offensive reasoning model on real attacker tradecraft, and orchestrates it with best-in-class frontier models, selecting the right one for each stage. Owning and optimizing the entire AI stack means maximized efficiency gains and accuracy.
  • Validation built for zero false positives.

    Every finding runs through three independent agents. One exploits, a second re-exploits blind with no shared context, a third validates independently, with deterministic checks inserted where possible. If any stage fails, it's never reported. Every finding comes with a working exploit, replication steps, and a PoC script.
  • A closed loop to a verified fix.

    Remediation is tailored to your WAF, backend, and codebase, not generic OWASP references. Once a fix ships, Novee retests automatically to confirm it held, and checks for new risks the change introduced.
  • Built into your workflow.

    Native CI/CD and change-triggered testing fire the moment code ships. Connected to CI/CD, fixes go to the code level, aligned to your actual codebase.
  • Predictable per-asset pricing.

    Depth and frequency don't cost extra, so continuous, deep testing never gets rationed against a budget.
  • Proven with security teams.

Novee vs. Tenzai Across Key Areas

Capability Novee AI Pentesting Tenzai
Coverage

Web, API, and AI applications

Application context and depth

Maps the target as actors, instructions, tools, credentials, guardrails, state transitions, and HTTP endpoints, with knowledge that compounds across runs.

Offensive model and harness

No proprietary model. Optimizes an agent harness that orchestrates general models’ reasoning and execution; improvements target the harness and agents, not a model of its own.

Validation architecture

A single validator reproduces the finding; evidence includes the captured conversation, HTTP transcripts, and the validator’s reproduction. No second blind agent or deterministic confirmation described.

Closed-loop remediation & retesting

Delivers PoCs and reproduction steps, but its materials don’t describe stack-specific remediation or automatic retesting.

Continuous, change-triggered testing

Continuous, but no scheduling or change-triggered workflow to operationalize it.

Workflow & CI/CD integration

No CI/CD integration or developer-workflow integrations (e.g., GitHub, Jira).

Pricing

No pricing publicly described.

What security leaders say

“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.”

Scott Roberts
CISO

“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.”

John Barrow
CISO

"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."

Robert Kugler
Head of Security, IT & Compliance

“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.”

Troy Wilkinson
Former Fortune 500 CISO
tamir ronen

"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."

Tamir Ronen
CISO, HiBob

"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."

Itzik Menashe
CISO, Global VP IT InfoSec & productivity

“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.”

Tal Shapira
PhD, CTO

“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.”

Amir Tito
CISO

“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.”

Ron Reiter
CTO

"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."

The Novee Advantages

The Novee Advantage for Proprietary Model and Harness

The Problem with Tenzai:

Tenzai's strength is its harness, orchestrating model reasoning and execution, managing state, tracking discovered information, and coordinating multiple attack paths. But by its own account, what Tenzai builds and improves is the harness and its agents, not an offensive model of its own. The depth of every test is ultimately bounded by the general-purpose models running underneath it.

How Novee Goes Further:

Novee's offensive capability is built into the platform. Its proprietary offensive reasoning model, trained on real attacker tradecraft and orchestrated with frontier models per task, is what lets the platform reason and exploit like an attacker without a human steering it. It’s a combination of harness and proprietary model, enabling Novee to find 2.5x more vulnerabilities than frontier models running on open-source harnesses.

The Novee Advantage for Validation and False-Positive Triage

The Problem with Tenzai:

Tenzai validates findings with a single validator and attaches evidence. A single reproduction path without deterministic confirmation offers fewer guarantees against false positives.

How Novee Improves Signal-to-Noise:

Every suspected vulnerability runs through three independent agents – a finder, a validator, and a blind re-validator with no context from the first two – backed by deterministic checks wherever exploitability can be confirmed by execution rather than inference. If any stage fails, the finding never surfaces. Every issue that reaches your team arrives proven, with a working exploit, replication steps, and a PoC script. No false positives by design, no manual triage.

The Novee Advantage for Closing the Loop

The Problem with Tenzai:

Tenzai produces solid PoCs and reproduction steps, but stops there. Its materials don't describe remediation tailored to your architecture, and there's no automatic retesting to confirm a fix worked or to catch regressions. The work of turning a finding into a verified fix lands back on your team.

How Novee Improves Remediation:

Because the Novee Asset Intelligence Model captures your architecture and tech stack, remediation guidance is specific to your WAF, backend, and codebase and, connected to CI/CD, drops to the code level. Once a fix ships, Novee automatically retests to confirm the vulnerability is resolved and checks for new risk the change introduced.
