We are sharing six things to check before you sign: who's actually testing, proof of exploit, cloud and API coverage, retesting, continuous testing, and report quality. Backed by 6.8M findings from the State of Pentesting 2026 report. Chapters Astra Security is a penetration testing company that combines autonomous and human-validated pentesting for web apps, APIs, cloud and AI applications.

Most companies pentest their app once a year. Hackers look for new backdoors every single day. Astra Autonomous Pentesting closes that gap with AI security agents that test your web app continuously, 24/7. Traditional penetration testing gives you a giant report full of jargon that sits on a shelf. Astra works like a friendly hacker that never sleeps. When it finds a security weakness, it doesn't just send a scary alert. It explains the exact problem, with the attack story and proof, so clearly that AI coding tools can fix, test and repair the vulnerability the same day.

Astra vs. Other Tool: Who Finds More Real Vulnerabilities? How does Astra Autonomous Pentesting compare with the other tool when it comes to finding real-world vulnerabilities? In this independent benchmark, Astra was tested against the other tool to evaluate vulnerability coverage, depth, and true-positive findings. The results: 27 true-positive vulnerabilities identified 3.9× more vulnerability coverage 11 distinct vulnerability classes discovered Deep testing across business logic and application behaviour.

Web application penetration testing means simulating real-world attacks on your web application; probing everything from input fields, APIs and auth flows to server configs and business logic to find security flaws before attackers do. In this video, you’ll learn.
