Key Capabilities / Features

• Autonomous, AI-Driven Pen-Testing – Shadow continuously identifies, exploits, and prioritizes attack paths without requiring manual input.
• Lateral Movement Simulation & Attack Chain Analysis – Shadow chains vulnerabilities together, mimicking the behavior of a real attacker to uncover hidden security weaknesses.
• Breadth of Attack Surface Coverage – Shadow provides comprehensive assessments across on-premise, cloud, perimeter, IAM, and IoT environments, ensuring no blind spots exist.
• Risk-Based Prioritization – Instead of overwhelming security teams with vulnerability lists, Shadow prioritizes exploitable weaknesses based on real-world attack impact, enabling efficient remediation.
• Zero-Trust & Compliance Assurance – Shadow helps organizations maintain compliance with CMMC, GDPR, HIPAA, SOC2, and other cybersecurity regulations by automating security validation and reporting.
• Rapid Deployment & Continuous Testing – Unlike consultant-driven pen-testing, which can take weeks or months to schedule, Shadow runs assessments in hours, operates continuously, and adapts to evolving threats.
• Unlimited Testing & Remediation Verification – Shadow allows organizations to run tests as often as needed, ensuring that security gaps remain closed as environments evolve.
• Seamless Integration with Security Stack – Shadow integrates with SIEM, SOAR, and endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions, validating existing security measures and improving detection and response effectiveness.

By providing real-time, autonomous security testing and risk-based prioritization, Shadow empowers organizations to stay ahead of cyber threats, reduce attack surfaces, and build a resilient cybersecurity framework.

How we are different

1. Fully Autonomous, No Human Intervention Required
Unlike traditional pen-testing tools that require red team coordination or consultant-driven assessments, Shadow autonomously runs real-world attack scenarios 24/7. It continuously scans for vulnerabilities, emulates attackers, and verifies security improvements—all without disrupting operations.

2. Unmatched Accuracy & Prioritization of Real-World Threats
Shadow chains attack vectors, identifying vulnerabilities that could actually be exploited in an attack, rather than just listing theoretical risks. It eliminates false positives, prioritizing only truly exploitable weaknesses, reducing wasted resources and improving remediation efficiency.

3. Broadest Coverage Across Enterprise Environments
Shadow tests across on-prem, cloud, identity and access management (IAM), perimeter, IoT, and data infrastructures, ensuring no part of an organization’s attack surface is left unchecked. Unlike traditional pen-testing, which often samples portions of a network, Shadow provides full-spectrum security assessments in hours, not weeks.
