Strobes Security has launched its proprietary AI Harness, a multi-agent orchestration platform designed to transform penetration testing by dramatically reducing engagement timelines. The new solution enables organizations to complete comprehensive security assessments across cloud, web, API, and enterprise environments in under 48 hours—compared to the traditional two- to four-week process.
The company attributes long pentesting cycles not to technical complexity, but to fragmented workflows and coordination delays. Conventional approaches often rely on sequential handoffs between tasks such as reconnaissance, exploitation, validation, and reporting. Strobes’ AI Harness addresses this inefficiency by executing these activities in parallel through a coordinated network of specialized AI agents.
“Why does a pentest still take three weeks in 2026?” said Venu Rao, CEO & Co-founder at Strobes. “It’s the coordination overhead, the context switching, and the serial nature of the process. Our AI Harness runs these workstreams in parallel, around the clock, delivering output on par with a senior pentester in a fraction of the time.”

At the core of the platform is a supervisor agent that breaks down testing objectives into discrete tasks and assigns them to domain-specific agents. These include cloud security-specific modules, web application vulnerability modules, API testing modules, network analysis modules, code review modules, and compliance mapping modules. These agents perform together by sharing structured insights to form an integrated assessment.
Strobes is powered by cutting-edge foundation models, such as Anthropic Claude via AWS Bedrock, complete with guardrails, memory persistence, and human-in-the-loop controls. All actions that need to be performed require explicit approval from humans.
Preliminary deployments have yielded promising results in terms of quick vulnerability detection, automatic ticket generation, and one-session report writing. Strobes also seamlessly works with common enterprise applications like Jira, ServiceNow, GitHub, Slack, and Splunk.
Through the integration of automation and oversight, Strobes aims at filling the void that lies between vulnerability detection and taking actions against vulnerabilities.
