HOW we make automated pen testing ?

From exposure to verified fix continuously.

  • 1-Discover

    Automatic mapping of everything you expose including what you didn't know about.


    What you can't see, an attacker will find. We find it first — no agent to install, no access needed to your infrastructure.

    • Domains, subdomains, IPs and open ports

    • APIs and cloud accounts

    • SSL/TLS certificates and DNS/email security

    • Shadow IT, forgotten assets, brands and keywords

  • 2-Attack

    Real exploit attempts not scans. Chained attack paths modeled on how actual threat actors operate.


    Every scenario is replayed the way an attacker would, respecting your test windows and exclusions.

    • Exploit chaining via graph theory

    • CVE + OWASP + combined logic flaws

    • Methodology aligned with PTES & NIST 800-115

    • Configurable frequency, no impact on production

  • 3-Validate

    Every critical finding reviewed by a certified pentester before it reaches your team.


    Before reaching you, every critical alert is replayed and confirmed by an expert — not just flagged by an algorithm.

    • Proof of exploitation via screenshot

    • CVSS + EPSS score + business impact

    • Fix ready to apply for developers

    • Automatic ticket in Jira / ServiceNow

  • 4-Remediate

    A fix is only validated once it's verified


    A fix that's applied but never retested remains an assumption. Every fix is verified before being marked as resolved.

    • One-click or scheduled retest

    • Real-time dashboard

    • PDF / CSV / API export

    • Audit-ready compliance evidence

DIFFERENCE

Traditional pentesting can't keep up anymore

Your infrastructure changes every week, scanners drown your teams in false positives, and reports end up archived instead of fixed. Patrowl combines AI-driven attack simulation with human validation to surface only real, actionable alerts — continuously.

FAQ

What is an automated penetration test?

An automated penetration test is a security assessment that uses specialized tools to detect vulnerabilities across your IT environment efficiently and continuously.

Unlike manual testing, where a security expert (pentester/ethical hacker) simulates attacks to uncover complex or hidden flaws, automated testing quickly identifies common weaknesses, like outdated software, misconfigurations, or weak passwords, while being safe for production systems.

With Patrowl, critical findings are also verified by our in-house pentesters, ensuring accuracy, reducing false positives, and providing actionable results you can trust.

Manual penetration test or automated penetration testing?

Manual penetration testing
A manual test provides deeper, tailored analysis. Security experts can adapt their methods, explore unconventional attack paths, and uncover complex or context-specific vulnerabilities that automated tools may miss. It’s highly precise, but also slower and more expensive — making it ideal for targeted assessments or critical assets.

Automated penetration testing
Automated testing is designed for speed, scale, and frequency. It continuously scans large or evolving infrastructures, identifies common and emerging vulnerabilities, and reduces the workload on security and IT teams. In France, very few solutions offer true automated penetration testing — which is exactly where Patrowl brings unique value.

How is automated penetration testing different from a vulnerability scan?

Patrowl’s automated penetration testing goes far beyond a basic scan.
The platform combines detection, controlled exploitation, application logic checks, and attack scenarios to validate the real exploitability of vulnerabilities.
Most importantly, our in-house pentesters verify critical findings, filter out noise, and confirm results when necessary.
The outcome: reliable, contextualized, and actionable alerts, not just a raw list of CVEs.

Can automated penetration testing replace a manual penetration test?

Not entirely, manual testing remains crucial for complex scenarios or deep-dive analyses.
Patrowl’s automation handles routine, large-scale, and frequent tests, while our in-house pentesters review sensitive findings, confirm exploits, and refine results.
This approach delivers the best of both worlds: the speed and coverage of automation combined with human accuracy.

Is automated penetration testing safe for production environments?

Absolutely. Patrowl is designed to be non-destructive.
Tests are controlled, protected against risky actions (DoS, excessive brute force, system disruption), and carefully calibrated to avoid impacting production.
Additionally, our pentesters supervise sensitive detections to ensure all validations remain safe and fully controlled.
You get continuous coverage while keeping your systems stable and secure.
