Your Team Doesn't Need a Longer List of Vulnerabilities. They Need Proof of Which Ones Are Exploitable.

BreachLock Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV)

Introducing BreachLock AEV, agentic AI-powered autonomous penetration testing trained on 40K+ real-world penetration tests. Continuously prove which vulnerabilities are exploitable and reachable with clear evidence of what's worth remediating immediately.

Proactively Disrupt the Kill Chain

Before Attackers Know it Exists

BreachLock AEV mirrors a senior pentester's attacker logic to reveal the strategic points where you can break the kill chain. By exposing the attack paths scripted scanners miss, you can easily prioritize high-impact remediations that help you neutralize exploitable attack paths before attackers even know they exist.

BreachLock AEV runs the full attack lifecycle autonomously so your team gets validated, prioritized findings without the overhead of managing the engagement manually. Here's how it works.

Step 1: Discover Attack Surface & Gather Threat Intelligence.

AEV begins with an internet-facing investigation of your organization, mapping domains, subdomains, IP addresses, hosting infrastructure, and exposed applications. It correlates what it finds against threat intelligence feeds, assessing which threat groups are most likely to target you based on your industry, tech stack, and exposure profile. Threat groups are assigned a risk rating based on how closely your environment matches their known targeting patterns and preferred TTPs. This intelligence directly shapes the attack scenarios AEV builds for your engagements.

Step 2: Deploy AEV Across Your Network and Application Environments In Seconds.

Deploy AEV by running a single command on any Linux host, or by using an OVA file or Docker — no need for agents on every endpoint. Think of it as placing a virtual pentester's laptop inside your network. The deployment connects to your BreachLock cloud tenant so you can manage everything remotely. Deploy multiple footholds across network segments to reach the hosts and applications you need to test.

Step 3: Configure and Launch. You Set the Scope and Intensity.

Control the scope of your autonomous penetration testing engagements, ensuring only explicitly authorized assets are tested. Select targets by IP, domain, hostname, application, or API endpoint, and choose which threat groups to emulate. You control the intensity based on your objectives, from stealthy and quiet to extreme and rapid. Set severity thresholds aligned to your SLAs, select specific TTPs mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, and schedule one-time or recurring engagements. Then, launch.

Step 4: Watch the Kill Chain Play Out in Real Time and Control How Far it Goes.

Watch every kill chain play out step by step as AEV autonomously moves through reconnaissance, enumeration, exploitation, and lateral movement. Click into any step to see exactly what's happening and why, with live screenshots of what AEV is doing inside your environment. When AEV identifies an exploitable path that could result in lateral movement or privilege escalation, it asks for your explicit approval before proceeding. You have the ability to hit the kill switch at any time.

Step 5: See What's Exploitable, Fix It, and Retest Unlimited Times.

AEV delivers the proof your team needs to prioritize remediation effectively. Every confirmed exploitable and reachable finding includes severity ratings, proof-of-concept screenshots, and tailored guidance showing exactly where to break the kill chain for maximum risk reduction. AEV also reports where your existing defenses successfully stopped an attack path so you know what's working, not just what's exposed. All results include a full MITRE ATT&CK mapping, filterable by TTPs that resulted in confirmed exploits, and are available in the platform or as downloadable PDF reports.

BreachLock AEV reports provide clarity for both red teams and executives, turning technical outcomes into board-ready insights in minutes. Each report combines the full spectrum of findings from your engagement, including mapped attack paths, threat actor behaviors, and exposure context derived from your environment, to give your team clear, prioritized guidance on what to fix and why.

Which attack paths succeeded — and why.

Which defenses held — and where they broke.

Which exposures are technically valid — but not operationally exploitable.

MITRE ATT&CK–mapped activity across the kill chain.

Strategic recommendations rooted in attacker logic, not just CVSS scores.

Available as PDF reports and directly in the platform for executive and technical audiences.

Why Security Teams

Choose BreachLock AEV

Senior Pentester-Level Execution

Autonomously chains weaknesses, tests business logic, pivots, and moves laterally like a pentester would..

AI Trained on Real-World Data

BreachLock AEV's agentic AI is trained on real penetration testing intelligence, not simulations or lab data.

Real-Time Kill Chain Visibility

Nothing Happens Without Authorization

Approve/deny lateral movement and exploitation before AEV proceeds, and hit the kill switch at any time.

Threat Intelligence-Led

AEV doesn't use static playbooks like most autonomous testing tools. It dynamically pivots using the latest relevant TTPs.

Both Network and Web Coverage

One of the only vendors covering both network and web environments with autonomous pentesting.

Easy, Agentless Deployment

Setup is as easy as a single command without any hardware or complex setup required.

Unlimited Testing on Contracted Assets

BreachLock AEV is subscription-based, priced by the number of IPs or URLs in scope so you can run unlimited test.

How BreachLock AEV Compares to Traditional Approaches

	Traditional Penetration Testing	BreachLock AEV for Autonomous Pentesting	Automated Vulnerability Scanners
How it Executes	Manual, limited by headcount and schedules	Agentic AI executes multi-step attack scenarios autonomously at a senior pentester level	Automated scanning against known CVE databases
Testing Frequency	Typically Annual or Quarterly	Unlimited autonomous penetration testing at the frequency you need, available 24/7	Continuous scanning
Exploitability Proof	Confirmed by pentester, limited by time and scope	Validated with proof-of-concept screenshots, full kill chain context, and attack path mapping	No proof; flags every vulnerability, even if it's not exploitable or reachable
Time to Deploy	Weeks of scoping and scheduling	Can be deployed agentlessly in minutes with a single command using a Linux machine, OVA file, or Docker	Agent-based or network appliance setup
What it's Trained on	Individual pentester experience	40,000+ real-world penetration testing engagements	CVE databases and signature libraries
Re-Testing	Re-engagement at an additional cost	Unlimited, subscription-based testing on contracted assets	Continuous scanning with usage limitations
