Continuous security testing. Your team stays in control.
ADA's agents discover, test and prioritise your attack surface around the clock. Anything with real-world impact waits for your approval, and every decision lands in an audit trail.
Built by red teamers who test European central banks and critical infrastructure under TIBER-EU. Runs on commercial AI or fully on-prem and air-gapped.

How an attacker gets in, and where ADA stops it
ADA maps every route from the internet to what matters most. This is one path it found on an example estate, step by step.
ADA's answer: validate the gateway with your approval, then fix the choke point first. One change closes all 14 paths.
Built by Europe's ethical hackers and red teamers.
For two decades, CybrOps has run authorised red-team and penetration-testing engagements for Europe's most demanding organisations, finding weaknesses before attackers do. ADA turns that expertise into a product.
- 132 CVEs
- published from our team's vulnerability research.
- 40+ zero-days
- uncovered by CybrOps Labs and responsibly disclosed.
- 100+ organisations
- protected, including central banks and critical infrastructure.
- Locked Shields
- multiple years at NATO's flagship cyber-defence exercise.
Why point-in-time testing is no longer enough
Penetration tests and red-team engagements happen a few times a year. Your attack surface changes every day. New subdomains, expired certificates, drifting configs and fresh CVEs open paths long before the next scheduled test.
241 days
The average time to identify and contain a breach, per IBM's Cost of a Data Breach 2025. Novel attacks live in that window.
Liability moved
Under DORA and NIS2, regulators expect continuous assurance, not an annual PDF, and accountability sits with the defender.
Attackers automated first
Autonomous agents are already used offensively. Defence that runs a few times a year can't keep pace.
Inside ADA
One platform for the whole cycle, from the first discovered asset to the verified fix. Screens shown with example data.
Posture dashboard
Attack-surface overview, risk trend, open criticals, top choke points and SLA status, scoped to each role.
Asset explorer
A searchable inventory of every domain, IP, certificate, cloud resource and service, with ownership and history.
Attack-path view
Which exposures actually reach your crown jewels, and the choke points where one fix breaks many paths.
Approvals inbox
Every gated action with the context to decide: what, why, blast radius, evidence. Approve, deny or dry-run.
Remediation tracking
Fixes synced to Jira or ServiceNow, SLAs per team, rollback controls and an automatic re-test to confirm the fix.
Audit trail
An append-only, tamper-evident log of every agent action and human decision, ready for your auditors.
How ADA works
ADA keeps a continuously updated map of everything your organisation exposes, and only acts on the assets and techniques you have authorised.
Works with what you own. ADA orchestrates the security tools you already run and feeds findings into your existing ticketing and SIEM workflows.
Discover
Ownership is verified first, then passive and active discovery across DNS, certificate logs, WHOIS, cloud accounts and exposed services.
Correlate
One asset graph, deduplicated, owned and kept current as your estate changes.
Validate
Agents prove exploitability with benign, read-only checks by default. Anything disruptive waits for approval.
Prioritise
Ranked by attack path to your crown jewels, choke points, CISA KEV and EPSS, not raw CVSS.
Remediate
Fixes proposed with evidence, applied after approval, tracked in your ticketing, then re-tested to confirm.
One platform, the right view for each role
Every role sees the same data at its own level, so the number in front of the board and the analyst's queue always reconcile.
CISO
Posture, trend and exposure of crown jewels in business terms. Mean time to detect and remediate, and how much ADA moves them.
IT Director
Remediation throughput and SLA adherence by team, what is overdue and where work is stuck.
SOC analyst
The prioritised queue, findings with validation evidence and attack paths, the approvals inbox and live agent activity.
Security Officer
Scope, crown jewels, risk policy and autonomy tiers. Supervises what the AI may do, and who approved what.
How ADA differs from AI pentesting tools
AI pentest tools point an autonomous agent at a target and report the bugs it can exploit. That's one task. ADA operates the continuous assurance programme a regulated organisation is accountable for, from discovery to governed remediation and evidence.
| Aspect | Typical AI pentest tool | ADA |
|---|---|---|
| Job | Finds and proves exploitable bugs | Discovers, proves, prioritises and remediates |
| Cadence | Point-in-time or on-demand runs | Continuous, between the mandated deep tests |
| Scope | One target or application at a time | The whole reconciled attack surface, ranked by reachable business impact |
| Control | The agent acts on its own | Human sign-off on every impactful action |
| Output | A list of findings | An audit-ready assurance record |
| Deployment | Cloud SaaS, data leaves your perimeter | Commercial AI or fully on-prem and air-gapped |
An AI pentester is a tool ADA can use. ADA is the platform that turns continuous testing into assurance your board can sign.
Human approval and a full audit trail, by design
Letting AI near production only works if you stay in control and can prove it to your auditors.
Approval before impact
Every action with real-world impact pauses until an authorised person approves, edits or rejects it.
Autonomy tiers you set
Your Security Officer decides which actions agents may take alone and which need an approver with the right role.
Strict scope guard
Agents act only on verified assets and with techniques inside your rules of engagement. Nothing else is reachable.
A complete audit trail
What changed, who approved it, and what remains open, recorded for your auditors and regulators.
Deploy where your data must stay
Choose the AI that fits your risk posture. Your telemetry never has to leave your perimeter.
- Commercial frontier models for fastest time to value
- Fully on-prem models on your own hardware
- Air-gapped deployments for sovereign and critical environments
Works with the stack you already run
ADA verifies that you own an asset before it tests anything, then plugs into your existing workflow.
- Ticketing
- Jira, ServiceNow
- Chat and approvals
- Slack, Microsoft Teams
- Security operations
- SIEM and SOAR forwarding
- Cloud
- AWS, Azure, Google Cloud
- Identity
- SSO with SAML or OIDC, SCIM provisioning
- Intelligence
- CVE, CISA KEV and EPSS feeds, curated exploit and proof-of-concept library
Built for DORA and NIS2
The mandated deep tests are years apart. ADA provides the assurance in between.
DORA
Applies since 17 January 2025Designated financial entities must run threat-led penetration testing at least every three years. The TLPT technical standard has applied directly since 8 July 2025.
NIS2
EU-wideWidens the set of essential and important entities that must test their security regularly and demonstrate it.
The gap
Where ADA worksA three-year TLPT cycle and annual tests leave hundreds of untested days. ADA keeps assurance continuous across all of them.
