NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Terra Security today announced new capabilities for security and engineering leaders seeking to operationalize Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), and exploitability validation enabling them to quickly determine whether a newly disclosed vulnerability is actually exploitable in their own environment.
Recent vulnerabilities discovered within major application frameworks, including ORM layers, routing systems, and serialization pipelines, have revealed a systemic issue facing modern Cybersecurity programs: organizations can detect vulnerabilities at scale, but cannot validate exploitability at scale.
As web applications grow more dynamic and interconnected, traditional vulnerability and web app scanners, SAST/SCA/DAST tools, and periodic penetration tests struggle to determine whether a vulnerability is actually reachable in an organization’s live environment. This gap directly impacts the core stages of CTEM, leading to inflated backlogs, misprioritized remediation, and increased operational uncertainty.
“Exploitability validation is the missing middle of CTEM Programs for the majority of organizations,” stated Shahar Peled, Co-Founder and CEO of Terra.
“Security teams don’t need more alarms.” They need clarity and the power to take action. Modern vulnerabilities are deeply contextual, and organizations must be able to determine whether an issue is truly exploitable based on their own code, business logic, and user flows.”
Terra’s research of recent vulnerability patterns suggests that:
- Many high-severity vulnerabilities are only exploitable under specific input or logic conditions.
- Two organizations running identical framework versions may have completely different exposure levels depending on how the application handles data.
- Traditional pentesting cycles cannot keep pace with the rate of code and attack surface changes.
- Severity scores alone fail to represent real business impact without understanding reachability and business context.
As engineering teams start using AI-based tools and more complicated frameworks, these trends are speeding up. This makes the need for continuous, context-aware validation even greater, instead of point-in-time assessments.
To fix this, Terra has come up with a way to continuously check for exploitability using advanced agentic AI and human-led oversight. Terra looks at changes to code, business logic, role-based access, and how applications work all the time. Next, it makes and tests certain “Signals” to see if a weakness can really be used in the environment.
“More truth, not more visibility, is the future of application risk management.” When companies can tell the difference between noise and impact, their appsec initiatives work. “Continuous exploit validation gives security and engineering teams the extra level of certainty they need,” stated Iain Paterson, CISO at Well Health.
With Terra’s continuous validation model, businesses can:
- Reduce noise and eliminate theoretical CVEs.
- Prioritize vulnerabilities based on real exploitability.
- Accelerate remediation with credible, reproduction-ready evidence.
- Strengthen CTEM cycles across discovery, assessment, validation, and mobilization.
- Replace annual pentest bottlenecks with continuous clarity.
