Terra Security has unveiled new exploitability validation capabilities designed to strengthen Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) programs for security and engineering leaders. The innovation enables organizations to rapidly assess whether newly disclosed vulnerabilities are actually exploitable within their unique environments—a critical gap in modern cybersecurity operations. “Exploitability validation is the missing middle of CTEM programs for the majority of organizations,” said Shahar Peled, Co-Founder and CEO of Terra. “Security teams don’t need more alerts. They need clarity and the ability to take action. Modern vulnerabilities are deeply contextual, and organizations must be able to determine whether an issue is truly exploitable based on their own code, business logic, and user flows.” Recent vulnerabilities in widely used application frameworks—such as ORM layers, routing systems, and serialization pipelines—have highlighted a systemic challenge: while organizations can detect vulnerabilities at scale, they lack the ability to validate whether those flaws can be exploited in real-world, live environments. This disconnect undermines the effectiveness of CTEM, leading to bloated vulnerability backlogs, misprioritized remediation efforts, and ongoing operational uncertainty. As web applications grow increasingly dynamic and interconnected, traditional tools like SAST, SCA, DAST, and periodic penetration tests fall short. They often fail to account for the complex interplay of code, access controls, and business logic that determine exploitability. To address this, Terra has introduced a continuous exploitability validation approach powered by advanced agentic AI and human-led oversight. The platform continuously monitors code changes, business logic, role-based access, and application behavior. It then generates and tests targeted “Signals” to determine whether a vulnerability can realistically be exploited in a given environment. Terra’s analysis of recent vulnerability patterns shows that exploitability is not a one-size-fits-all condition. Many vulnerabilities are only exploitable under specific, context-dependent scenarios—such as particular user roles, data flows, or system configurations. These trends are accelerating as engineering teams adopt AI-driven development tools and increasingly complex frameworks, making point-in-time assessments insufficient. “The future of application risk management isn’t more visibility—it’s more truth,” said Iain Paterson, CISO at Well Health. “AppSec programs succeed when organizations can distinguish noise from real impact. Continuous exploit validation provides the missing layer of certainty that security and engineering teams need.” Terra’s continuous validation model helps organizations: - Reduce false positives and eliminate alert fatigue - Prioritize remediation based on actual risk - Align security testing with real-world application behavior - Accelerate response to high-impact threats - Integrate seamlessly into fast-paced development workflows Terra Security is a leading Agentic-AI-powered platform for continuous web application penetration testing. Built for security teams in complex, high-speed environments, Terra combines the scale and efficiency of fine-tuned AI agents with the precision and control of human oversight—ensuring safety, compliance, and accuracy. By aligning every test with an organization’s unique business logic and risk profile, Terra delivers actionable, exploit-driven findings that highlight what truly matters. Founded by experienced security leaders, Terra is backed by top-tier investors including Felicis, Dell Technologies Capital, SYN Ventures, Lama Partners, Underscore VC, and SVCI.
