MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., February 19, 2026 (VSNewsNetwork.com) — Cybersecurity technology company Simbian has announced the launch of its AI Pentest Agent, designed to provide enterprises with ongoing, on-demand penetration testing.
The Simbian AI Pentest Agent is positioned as the first automated penetration testing solution to incorporate business context into its assessments. According to the company, the new agent enables security teams to move beyond manual, point-in-time testing and validate their security posture in real time.
According to Simbian, traditional penetration testing is often conducted once or twice a year as part of compliance requirements, creating what it describes as a “window of exposure” during which vulnerabilities may remain unaddressed. The company’s AI Pentest Agent delivers results in hours and allows organizations to conduct testing on demand.

"The industry has long been forced to choose between the depth of a manual pentest and the speed of a shallow scan. Simbian eliminates that trade-off. Our AI Pentest Agent doesn’t just follow a script; it reasons and adapts like a human hacker, leveraging context to uncover risks that actually matter to the business. We are giving enterprises the ability to find and close risks before attackers can ever exploit them," said Ambuj Kumar, CEO and Co-Founder of Simbian.
Simbian developed the AI Pentest Agent in partnership with global risk management firm LRQA. LRQA provided guidance to align the solution with recognized penetration testing standards and responsible AI principles.
"By combining Simbian’s autonomous AI with LRQA’s deep expertise in threat-led cybersecurity, we are helping organizations move from periodic testing to continuous risk insight. This partnership brings together intelligent automation and experienced human judgement, ensuring the AI Pentest Agent operates to recognized ethical hacking standards and delivers assurance that boards and security teams can trust," said Howard Hughes, Managing Director for LRQA’s cybersecurity division.
According to Simbian, the AI Pentest Agent functions as a reasoning engine that adapts its testing logic based on application responses, with the aim of identifying exploitable vulnerabilities and business logic flaws. The agent includes a “safe mode” designed to prevent disruption to production environments and provides a complete reasoning trace to support transparency.
The Simbian AI Pentest Agent is currently available with support for web applications, and the company offers SaaS, dedicated SaaS, and on-premises deployment options.
