About
Praesec [priː.sɛk]
from Latin praeses, “guardian” + Security
The name says what we do.
Praesec takes its name from praeses, the Latin word for guardian or protector, combined with Security. Pronounced “pree-sek.” We guard your application by thinking like the people trying to break it.
Mission
Securing The World.
A web application pentest from a skilled firm starts at $15,000 for a small application. Most teams run one a year. That's twelve months of new code, new features, and new attack surface with no security assurance in between.
Praesec changes that. An AI-driven engine that reasons, adapts, and exploits the way a skilled pentester does, running continuously at a fraction of the cost. Monthly by default. Per-commit when you connect GitHub.
The goal isn't to replace human security professionals. It's to give every development team continuous, real security testing instead of an annual checkbox.
Approach
Why web applications. Why now.
Web applications are the largest and fastest-growing attack surface for most companies and the hardest to test thoroughly. The attack surface changes with every deploy. Static analysis misses logic flaws. Automated scanners produce noise. Techniques like chained exploits, authorization boundary testing, and session manipulation require reasoning that rule-based tools simply cannot perform.
LLMs can. Praesec is built on the premise that an AI system with the right architecture, the right tooling, and the right constraints can perform web application security testing that's genuinely comparable to a skilled human, running continuously rather than once a year.
