Value proposition

Replaces traditional, point-in-time manual penetration testing with a continuous, autonomous offensive security layer that identifies and validates attack paths at the same speed as modern AI-powered threats.

Products and solutions

Autonomous AI Penetration Testing Engine (AI Hacker), Agentic Fix (remediation via Claude/Copilot/Cursor/Devin), AI Red Teaming for LLM applications, Continuous Attack Path Validation & Retesting, Mobile AI Pentesting, Personalized Remediation Guidance

Unique value

Unlike Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) tools that rely on static playbooks, Novee utilizes an 'AI Hacker' that mimics the creative, adaptive reasoning of human attackers to discover novel exploitation paths autonomously.
