The first autonomous penetration testing agent with persistent intelligence.
ARES™ helps organizations move toward continuous, adversary-informed security validation, increasing the frequency and efficiency of testing while helping teams identify and reduce consequential attack paths.
Act at the speed of the threat.
Continuous security validation
Testing on the cadence the environment demands, not the audit calendar.
Continuous adversary emulation
How an adversary would actually move, not a CVE list.
Attack surface reduction
Consequential attack paths identified, closed and confirmed closed.
More frequent, lower cost
Assessment economics that make repetition practical.
Built by the operator who kept hitting the same wall.
The expert cognitive loop, automated. The reasoning of a senior operator, running continuously, on hardware you control.
Between the scanner and the framework.
Scanners
Find vulnerabilities, but can't exploit or chain them.
Autonomous Operator
Discovers, exploits, pivots, and reports, end to end, human on the loop.
Frameworks
Can exploit, but need an expert behind every action, and forget every run.
A reasoning loop, wrapped in real intelligence.
A continuous THINK → ACT → OBSERVE loop, wrapped in a six-phase intelligence architecture, the discipline that makes an 8B model outperform frontier systems.
Every engagement makes the next one smarter.
Most tools start from zero every run. ARES writes every finding, and the paths between them, into a persistent Neo4j knowledge graph, reasoning over history, not just the moment.
It chooses the attack path, then takes it.
CVE Exploitation
Vuln to working exploit, 2,300+ Metasploit modules.
Credential Attacks
Brute force, spraying, and capture.
Active Directory
BloodHound-guided privilege escalation.
OT / ICS Protocols
Industrial systems most tools won't touch, safely.
Fine-tuned to outrun frontier models, locally.
Runs on hardware you own
Fine-tuned ares-qwen3:8b, no cloud, no data egress.
Faster than the base model
1,770ms decisions, built for the offensive loop.
Tools, 27 MCP servers
An isolated Kali sandbox, one operator.
Constrained, disconnected, classified, ARES still operates.
Cloud platforms stop at the network boundary. ARES runs in denied and disconnected environments, on a ruggedized sovereign pod, STIG-hardenable for ATO.
