Focused assessment
We define the target and testing period, then document confirmed vulnerabilities in an assessment report.
See one-off assessment termsAI penetration testing
We test web applicationsfrom an attacker’sperspective.
Layer8 provides AI-powered penetration testing for web applications and APIs. Our in-house AI explores attack paths, and our security engineers verify the findings. We agree on scope and operating conditions before testing, then report confirmed vulnerabilities with evidence, impact and remediation guidance.

What we do
We begin with the target systems and risks to assess. Before testing, we agree on the scope and operating conditions, and the same team remains responsible through post-remediation verification.
Web applications and APIs
AI pentesting with Trident
We interact with target systems to assess attack paths involving authentication, authorization, and business logic. Confirmed vulnerabilities are reported with evidence, impact, reproduction steps, and remediation guidance.

Assessment formats
Recurring validation
We revisit the scope as releases and systems change, then repeat testing and post-remediation verification.
See monthly assessmentsCompany-wide live-fire testing
A fixed-price pilot that tests your company's internet-facing assets for approximately one month. We confirm the targets and exclusions before testing.
View scope, pricing and pilot termsPenetration testing for SOC 2 audits
A fixed-scope assessment for one web application and its first-party API, with English reports and one retest. The engagement is handled by email.

We support PoCs in real environments, evaluation design, and technical integration with security-testing infrastructure.
Discuss technical collaborationFrom consultation to reporting
Testing begins after the scope, operating conditions, and communication procedures are agreed. We can retest remediated issues after reporting when required.
-
Initial discussion
We review the systems, risks to assess, preferred timing, and internal procedures.
-
Scope and operating conditions
We document target URLs, test accounts, testing windows, traffic limits, and prohibited actions.
-
Assessment and validation
Testing remains within the agreed scope. Only vulnerabilities whose impact and reproducibility have been confirmed are included in the report.
-
Reporting and retesting
We deliver the assessment report and retest remediated issues when required.
Assessment controls
Outbound traffic from the AI agents passes through execution controls. The agreed targets, traffic limits, and prohibited actions are reflected in the execution-layer configuration.
Review the report structureOut-of-scope traffic is blocked
The agreed scope is configured in the execution layer, which blocks all out-of-scope traffic.
Load and hazardous actions are limited
Request rates, concurrency, testing windows, permitted protocols, and prohibited actions are configured for each engagement.
Execution is recorded and stoppable
Traffic and execution logs are retained, and stop procedures and communication paths are agreed before testing begins.
