Terra requires a human pentester in the loop, which means it can’t scale to match the demand of continuous Offensive Security. Novee is built for fully autonomous AI penetration testing – see why the distinction matters.
Terra excels at amplifying the human pentester, putting them in command of a suite of AI agents. But that means Terra requires a human in the loop for key stages of pentesting, limiting speed and scalability.
Requires a pentester to operate.
Doesn’t scale.
No proprietary offensive model.
Findings and fixes routed through people.
Continuous offensive testing across a portfolio demands a flexible platform that both scales human pentesters and allows them to generate valuable, actionable findings without direct intervention.
Autonomous execution at portfolio scale.
A proprietary offensive AI stack.
Autonomous validation, runnable evidence.
Closed-loop, stack-specific remediation.
Built for continuous workflows.
Predictable per-asset pricing.
| Capability | Novee AI Pentesting | Terra |
|---|---|---|
| Operating model | Autonomous and continuous. Novee runs the engagement itself and scales across the portfolio, both maximizing the effectiveness of existing pentesters and running without their direct intervention. |
Human-operated by design. Terra gives pentesters direct command over AI agents, with key decisioning kept with the operator. |
| Offensive capability | Proprietary offensive reasoning model, post-trained on real attacker tradecraft and orchestrated via proprietary harness with frontier models selected per task (multi-model). |
Orchestrates AI agents under pentester direction; no proprietary offensive model described. |
| Validation & evidence | Three independent agents (a finder, validator, and a blind re-validator) plus deterministic checks, run without a human in the loop. Every finding includes a working exploit, replication steps, and a PoC script. |
Agentic AI plus human oversight, with the pentester in the validation loop; delivers pentester-signed, audit-ready reports. No independent multi-agent blind validation or runnable PoC scripts described. |
| Remediation | Generated tailored to your WAF, backend, and codebase, and automatically retested to confirm the fix held and catch regressions. |
Guidance designed to be interpreted and applied by the directing pentester; auto-retest supported. |
| Pricing | Predictable per-asset pricing. Depth and frequency don’t increase cost, and coverage doesn’t require more operators. |
No fixed price; coverage scales with operator effort, so more applications means more pentester time. |
| Workflows and integrations | Native CI/CD and change-triggered workflows; connected to CI/CD, fixes drop to the code level. |
No CI/CD integration described; AWS partnership confirmed, no named ticketing or CI/CD integrations on the site. |
| Continuous, change-triggered testing | Runs autonomously the moment code ships, or at regularly-scheduled intervals. |
Continuous and change-based. Tests and validates on meaningful production changes, operated through the pentester-in-command model. |
| Application context | Asset Intelligence Model. A persistent, per-asset model of purpose, roles, permissions, workflows, APIs, and business logic that compounds every cycle and never resets. |
Agents learn in-step with your context and code, onboarded once to avoid constant rescoping; persistence within an engagement, with no cross-assessment compounding. |
| Coverage | Web apps, APIs, mobile apps, and AI agents/LLMs across the external attack surface. |
Web applications, internal applications, network infrastructure, and AI red teaming. |
“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."
