Novee Named an IDC Innovator for Autonomous Penetration Testing for DevSecOps

NEW YORK, July 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Novee, the AI penetration testing platform built to secure environments that change continuously, today announced it has been named an IDC Innovator in the IDC Innovators: Autonomous Penetration Testing for DevSecOps, 2026 report (Doc #US54175326, July 2026).

The IDC Innovators report examines the emergence of AI-agent-driven, autonomous penetration testing for DevSecOps, highlighting vendors building offensive security testing that can keep pace with fast release cycles, API-heavy architectures, and AI-generated code. IDC Innovators identifies these platforms as capable of discovering or ingesting target context, mapping attack surfaces, generating and validating exploit paths, and returning evidence-backed findings with remediation guidance.

"AI agents are changing the operating model for pentesting testing by combining adversarial reasoning with more continuous execution. This gives security teams a way to validate exploitable risk closer to the pace of sotware change," said Katie Norton, Senior Research Manager, DevSecOps and Software Supply Chain Security, IDC.

Novee's platform begins with only a domain name, authenticating and mapping an application the way a real attacker would, then deploys coordinated AI agents to discover, validate, and remediate exploitable vulnerabilities - including business logic flaws and non-CVE issues that traditional scanners miss. Confirmed findings are paired with personalized, architecture-specific remediation guidance and automatically retested after fixes are deployed.

“We believe Being named an IDC Innovator reflects what we set out to build: an AI system that reasons and operates like a real attacker, not a scanner,” said Ido Geffen, Co-Founder and CEO of Novee. “Security teams don't need more findings — they need continuous, validated proof of what's actually exploitable, and a clear path to fixing it.'"

Novee has raised $51.5 million to date from investors including YL Ventures, Canaan Partners, and Zeev Ventures, and has grown from zero to dozens of paying enterprise customers in approximately six months.
