Terra Security, a pioneer in Agentic Offensive Security, has announced the launch of Terra Portal™, a new agentic desktop app designed to transform how penetration testing is conducted. The platform serves as an execution layer that allows pentesters to direct and oversee AI-driven testing in live production environments, dramatically reducing the discovery-to-fix cycle for vulnerabilities from months to hours while maintaining safety and compliance.
Terra Security launched Terra Portal, an agentic desktop app enabling human-governed, AI-driven penetration testing in live production environments.
The platform reduces the vulnerability discovery-to-fix cycle from nearly three months to hours, helping customers meet CISA's 15-day remediation requirements.
Terra Portal features two distinct AI agent types: Ambient AI agents for autonomous recon and validation, and Copilot AI agents for human-controlled exploitation.
The solution allows service providers to shift from project-based engagements to continuous offensive security services, supporting more clients per tester.
The agentic workflow preserves human oversight at critical decision points, ensuring governance and minimizing operational risk.
Early access to Terra Portal is available now, integrating natively with Terra's broader agentic penetration testing platform.
The penetration testing market has faced a persistent challenge: fully autonomous testing tools promise efficiency but introduce security risks and inaccuracies in production environments, while traditional tools force testers into manual workflows that limit scalability. Terra Portal resolves this tension by creating a human-governed, agentic workflow that enables autonomous pentesting to scale through expert oversight.
“The future of pentesting isn’t autonomous versus human,” added Shahar Peled, co-founder and CEO, Terra Security. “It’s about giving humans leverage. With Terra Portal, this is the first time in history that we can combine depth, scale, and safety in security validation. Pentesters can do more meaningful, strategic work, and firms that adopt this shift will win.”
At the core of Terra Portal is a dual-agent system designed with distinct responsibilities, operating under different constraints and governance models.
Ambient AI agents handle the bulk of repetitive and time-consuming tasks autonomously. These agents conduct reconnaissance, code review, test case generation, reachability analysis, pentests, exploitability validation, documentation, and remediation. By automating these foundational activities, they free human testers to focus on higher-value strategic work.
When complexity, risk, or organizational guardrails require human judgment, pentesters engage with Copilot AI agents. These agents facilitate approved, controlled exploitation and reporting, ensuring that high-risk activities are conducted under direct human supervision. This approach maintains safety and compliance while still leveraging AI efficiency.
“Highly skilled Pentesters that spend too much time on repetitive and mundane tasks are wasting valuable efforts that can be better spent on strategic judgement,” said Gev Hadari, Head of Adversary Services at Terra Security. “The Agentic Gateway turns expert time into a force multiplier, allowing a single Pentester to safely oversee work that previously required entire teams.”
For service providers, Terra Portal enables a fundamental shift from one-off, project-based engagements to continuous, offensive security services. AI agents autonomously handle execution, while pentesters retain oversight at critical decision points. This model allows providers to support significantly more clients per tester and deliver faster turnaround times, improving customer satisfaction and retention. Governance remains intact throughout the process, minimizing operational and reputation risk.
Terra Portal integrates natively with Terra's broader agentic penetration testing platform, which uses a coordinated swarm of autonomous AI agents to continuously scope environments, discover attack surfaces, generate hypotheses, and validate vulnerabilities. When those agents encounter limits, the gateway allows human testers to operate within the same agentic workflow, preserving full context and dramatically increasing efficiency.
