Penti Launches Agentic AI Platform for Continuous Security Validation
Backed by operators from leading cybersecurity organizations, Penti enables enterprises to move from periodic testing to always-on security assurance
Boca Raton, FL – May 11, 2026 – Penti, an AI-driven penetration testing platform based at Global Ventures, the Research Park at Florida Atlantic’s incubator, has transitioned from a service-based penetration testing firm, formerly Securily, to a product-led platform providing continuous security validation powered by proprietary agentic penetration testing agents.
The transition reflects a broader shift in cybersecurity. Organizations are moving away from periodic, manual testing as they face growing pressure to manage security in real-time. Penti provides continuous security validation, allowing organizations to find and fix vulnerabilities and to keep up with development cycles, compliance, and growing threats.
The platform uses the methods and judgment of expert ethical hackers, who simulate advanced attack scenarios and deliver findings in formats aligned with enterprise and audit standards. This approach allows organizations to move from reactive, point-in-time assessments to ongoing, proactive security testing.
“Penti’s transition to an agentic AI platform reflects the kind of forward-thinking innovation we are proud to support at the Research Park at Florida Atlantic. Their work not only advances cybersecurity capabilities but also strengthens South Florida’s position as a hub for advanced AI and enterprise technology,” said Ryan Lilly, director of economic development for the Research Park at Florida Atlantic.
With major investments and emerging technology companies continuing to enter the South Florida region, Penti is part of a growing AI enterprise ecosystem. The company operates from the Research Park at Florida Atlantic, and is backed by cybersecurity industry leaders, including Alex Ionescu, chief technology innovation officer at CrowdStrike; Drew Danner, managing director at Andersen Consulting and Patrick Dyer, co-founder and CEO of DigitalEra Group. Penti is also a recipient of a grant from Google, further reflecting the region’s expanding role as a hub for innovation in cybersecurity and advanced technologies.
“We built Penti to help organizations of any size stay ahead of evolving threats while always staying on top of their security,” Benzaquen said. “Our goal is to redefine how companies approach security with an always-on model that keeps them ahead of evolving threats.”
