Adversarial exposure validation

Prove what’s truly exploitable

CTEM is the framework, AEV the proof. Infiltr8 is the sovereign AEV, powered by governed AI.

A theoretical signal, an annual test, severity ranking, a declared fix: so many promises, never verified. NIS2 and DORA demand proof.

A continuous loop, driven by proof

  1. 01

    Map

    Maps your internal surface into a living graph: accounts, machines, privileges, relations.

  2. 02

    Exploit

    Chains real exploitation, end to end, up to the critical assets. Proof, not assumption.

  3. 03

    Prioritise

    Traces each path to its root cause and prioritizes by real impact, not raw severity.

  4. 04

    Remediate

    A prioritized plan: one strategic fix closes dozens of paths at once.

  5. 05

    Verify

    Replays the fix to confirm the path is closed. Closure is proven, then the loop starts again.

Then it starts again: the loop never stops.

Beyond visibility and isolated tests: proof, continuously.

  • Red TeamDeep proof, but rare, costly and not repeatable.
  • Manual pentestReal proof, but a point-in-time snapshot that goes stale at once.
  • BASContinuous, but tests isolated controls, not full attack paths.
  • Scanners & inventoryContinuous, but only a signal: maps exposure without proving it’s exploitable.
  • Infiltr8 AEVAlone in the continuous + proof corner: validation through real exploitation, continuously.

What makes us different

  • European sovereignty

    Built and operated in Europe

    Data and models confined to the EU, no extra-EU dependency. An AEV built and operated in Europe.

  • Causality · RootCause

    Every path traced to its root

    Every path traced to its root cause: one strategic fix closes dozens, verified by replay.

  • Governed AI

    Bounded, auditable, reversible

    Bounded, auditable offensive AI: every action validated, logged, reversible. The decision stays yours.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is AEV?
AEV (adversarial exposure validation) continuously proves, through real and controlled exploitation, that an exposure is truly exploitable, then prioritises it by impact. It is the validation stage of CTEM.
How does AEV differ from a pentest or BAS?
The pentest is an annual snapshot and BAS tests controls in isolation. AEV exploits complete attack chains, continuously, and proves exploitability end to end.
Why does “continuous” change everything?
Your internal surface changes every day. Continuous validation catches the paths that appear between audits and confirms that fixes hold over time.
How do you prove without breaking production?
Under contained autonomy: every command is validated against an allow-list derived from the plan, destructive patterns are blocked, and exploitation runs with no service disruption or data alteration.
Do you need an offensive team to use it?
No: AEV automates offensive expertise. Your teams steer and decide, with no internal red team to mobilize.
Does the AI act on its own?
No: nothing runs outside the validated plan. Every action is bounded, logged and reversible, and the final decision stays yours.
How does AEV serve NIS2 and DORA?
It produces continuous, measurable, auditable exposure proof, exactly what these frameworks expect, instead of a point-in-time attestation.
Internal or external surface?
Infiltr8 focuses on the internal attack surface, the paths that reach your critical assets, while absorbing inventory mapping into its graph.
Where do my data and AI models live?
Strictly within the EU. Sovereign models, no extra-EU dependency, auditable decisions in the spirit of the AI Act.
