Modern vulnerability management is often overwhelmed by theoretical risks, lacking the context to determine real exploitability. Terra Security has launched new capabilities to address this critical gap in Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) programs. The solution focuses on web applications, enabling security and engineering teams to validate whether a newly disclosed vulnerability is actually reachable and exploitable within their specific, live environment, moving beyond generic severity scores.
Terra launches continuous exploitability validation for web application vulnerabilities.
It addresses a key gap in CTEM programs between vulnerability discovery and prioritization.
The solution uses agentic AI to analyze code, business logic, and user flows.
It generates targeted tests to validate if a vulnerability is exploitable in your specific environment.
Goals include reducing alert noise, eliminating theoretical CVEs, and accelerating remediation.
The approach replaces point-in-time pentests with continuous, context-aware validation.
The increasing complexity of web applications, built with dynamic frameworks and interconnected services, has exposed a systemic weakness in cybersecurity programs. While organizations can detect vulnerabilities at scale using traditional scanners and SAST/SCA/DAST tools, they cannot validate exploitability at the same pace. High-severity vulnerabilities in frameworks may only be exploitable under specific logic or input conditions unique to an application's implementation. This gap inflates backlogs, leads to misprioritized remediation, and creates operational uncertainty, as severity scores often fail to represent true business impact without environmental context.
To solve this, Terra introduces a continuous exploitability validation model powered by advanced agentic AI paired with human-led oversight. Instead of static scans, the platform continuously analyzes an organization's specific code changes, business logic, role-based access controls, and application behavior. It then autonomously generates and tests targeted "Signals" designed to determine if a vulnerability is realistically reachable and exploitable in that unique environment. This shifts application risk management from simply gathering more visibility toward establishing actionable truth about security posture.
The outcome for security teams is a transformation in how they operationalize CTEM. By integrating continuous validation, organizations can directly strengthen core CTEM stages: discovery, prioritization, validation, and mobilization. The platform enables teams to drastically reduce noise by eliminating theoretical CVEs, prioritize remediation efforts based on proven exploitability, and accelerate fixes with reproduction-ready evidence. This model effectively replaces the bottleneck of annual pentest cycles with ongoing clarity, allowing security and engineering leaders to make confident, impact-driven decisions aligned with their actual risk profile.
Terra's new capabilities represent a pragmatic evolution in application security, targeting the operational inefficiency that plagues modern CTEM initiatives. By providing a continuous, automated method to distinguish theoretical vulnerabilities from genuine threats, it empowers organizations to focus resources on what truly matters. This approach is essential as engineering teams accelerate development with AI tools and complex frameworks, further necessitating a security model that matches the speed and context of modern application development.
