Pentera, a late-stage startup selling technology in the automated security validation space, has secured $60 million in a Series D funding round led by Evolution Equity Partners.

Pentera said Farallon Capital Management also took an equity stake, bringing its total funding to $250 million.

Pentera’s technology enables security teams to emulate adversarial techniques, identify exploitable security gaps, and prioritize remediation efforts. 

The platform supports Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), a framework designed to address the increasing complexity of cyberattacks, including those accelerated by AI-driven tactics.

In a note announcing the new financing, Pentera said it has enjoyed rapid growth since its previous funding round with a 300% increase in ARR and a 200% expansion of its customer base. P

“Pentera emulates real-world adversarial techniques to uncover exploitable security gaps across on-prem networks, web-facing assets, and complex multi-cloud environments. The platform enables security teams to analyze complete attack paths, identify root causes, and prioritize remediation for effective risk reduction,” the company added.

Pentera said the new capital will be used on research and development, AI technology integrations and expansion in the US market.
