Comprehensive guide to PentestPad - The modern penetration testing platform for security professionals -> guide to PentestPad and PentestPad Core
What is PentestPad Core?
PentestPad Core is a cybersecurity platform designed to simplify internal security assessments for organizations of all sizes. Built with practicality and flexibility in mind, it empowers both security teams and IT professionals to conduct effective penetration testing - even without deep specialist expertise. By combining structured testing workflows, automated vulnerability analysis, and expert-curated guidance, PentestPad Core helps users identify, understand, and address technical and logical security weaknesses within their digital systems. The tool also features a built-in AI supportive advisor, not an autonomous agent. It helps users interpret findings, making it especially useful for less experienced teams or resource-limited environments. Whether used as a standalone internal solution or to complement existing cybersecurity workflows, PentestPad Core helps organizations increase their security maturity, reduce reliance on external consultants, and lower overall security testing costs.
The development of PentestPad Core was co-financed by the European Union. The platform was created as part of a broader effort to make high-quality security tools accessible to a wider range of organizations, and to promote responsible digital transformation in Europe.
