## Executive Summary

Terra Security sells continuous penetration testing in which a swarm of AI agents attacks a customer’s web applications, networks, and AI systems. Credentialed humans approve risky steps and sign the findings, and that signature matters more than the automation. The deliverable is an audit-ready report that auditors accept, which puts Terra in the manual-pentest budget rather than beside scanners. Terra holds an AWS security competency its announcement presents as the inaugural approval for autonomous security validation, sells through the AWS marketplace, and hired an ex-AWS executive to lead partner strategy. Press in September 2025 cited Fortune 100 clients, and the named endorsements, Riskified’s CISO among them, sit on Terra’s pages, so customer evidence trails partner evidence.
