Nemesis
An AI-native security testing platform with expert-guided agentic workflows
Nemesis is a penetration testing platform that centralizes engagement knowledge and runs continuous, AI-driven investigation loops. Consultants set scope, brief agents, direct the investigation, and feed in results from their own hands-on testing - Nemesis handles analysis, validates findings, and generates report-ready deliverables. Every decision stays in expert hands.
Nemesis in action
One platform, from scope to report
Specialized agents build investigation plans from project knowledge and consultant instructions, execute tests in continuous loops, and surface validated findings for expert review. Consultants conduct their own hands-on testing in parallel - results feed back into the workspace, compounding what the agents know.
AI-generated test plans
Nemesis generates a structured test plan from workspace context. Each task includes specific steps, expected behavior, and a security hypothesis - giving consultants a clear starting point and a record of what was tested.
Automated baseline analysis
Before a consultant runs a single manual test, Nemesis completes a baseline pass identifying high-risk surfaces, suspicious protocol behavior, and candidate findings. False positives are flagged for triage, not buried in noise.
Transparent investigation loops
Every agent investigation is recorded as a full transcript. Consultants can review exactly what the agent did, what it observed, and what it concluded - before any finding is accepted into the workspace.
Shared findings for stakeholder review
Findings can be shared with clients or internal reviewers via a scoped link. Each finding includes impact narrative, reproduction steps, and status tracking - no separate document required.
Report generation from findings
Validated findings feed directly into report generation. Nemesis drafts executive summaries, technical details, and reproduction steps - structured to match Casaba's delivery format. Consultants refine, not rebuild from scratch.
What Nemesis does
One workspace, from evidence to deliverables
Security teams usually stitch together separate tools for code analysis, finding triage, reporting, and collaboration. Nemesis consolidates those workflows into one platform with shared context and persistent run history.
Engagement Workspace
Each engagement gets a scoped workspace where consultants upload code, documentation, and flow recordings. Everything stays organized and accessible to the team throughout the assessment.
Autonomous Investigation Loop
Nemesis orchestrates iterative investigation cycles: generate tasks, execute agent investigations, consolidate findings, and spawn follow-up work based on new evidence.
Specialist Review Agents
Code-review-equipped agents investigate targeted hypotheses, return structured evidence, and feed the next loop. Consultants steer priorities and approve outcomes.
Deep Research and Threat Modeling
AI-assisted research synthesis grounded in workspace evidence, plus OWASP Threat Dragon model generation and import. Findings, research, and notes compound into structured risk artifacts.
Test Plan Generation
Nemesis generates structured security test plans from findings, research, and engagement context. Consultants refine through an interactive Q&A loop and export finalized plans.
Report Drafting
Pentest-style report generation from cross-feature evidence with live editing during drafting. Consultants control every conclusion before export.
Code analysis
Ten engines, one normalized output
Nemesis integrates ten static analysis tools covering code quality, dependency vulnerabilities, secrets detection, and infrastructure-as-code scanning. Run them individually or launch the full suite in parallel.
Each engine's findings go through an LLM-assisted triage pipeline that classifies results as true positives or false positives, applies reconciliation passes for consistency, and produces standardized outputs that feed directly into findings, test plans, and reports.
Code and dependency scanning
Snyk Open Source, Snyk Code, Semgrep, Bandit, DevSkim, ESLint, PVS-Studio, and Detekt.
Secrets detection
Gitleaks scans repositories for exposed credentials, API keys, and other sensitive data.
Infrastructure as code
Consolidated IaC scanning via Checkov, Kubescape, Hadolint, and Helm Lint for container and Kubernetes configuration review.
Those standardized results give Nemesis a clean starting point for deeper custom investigation. The orchestrator turns validated signals into investigative items, assigns them to code-review-equipped agents, and continues iterating as new evidence is uncovered.
Investigation loop
From broad signal generation to targeted custom investigation
Nemesis does not stop at surfacing candidate issues. Its orchestrator uses findings from static analysis, documentation, prior notes, and other engagement evidence to generate investigative items, launch specialist review agents, consolidate new evidence, and continue the loop until the most important questions are resolved.
This is where the deeper analysis happens: not just identifying possible problems, but following lines of inquiry, validating exploitability, refining hypotheses, and feeding each round of findings into the next.
How it works
The consultant stays in the loop
Nemesis proposes. The consultant decides. Nothing ships to a client without expert review and sign-off.
Expert-in-the-loop
Consultants drive it. Nemesis handles the grind.
Setting scope
Every engagement starts with a human defining what to test, how to test it, and what matters most. Nemesis executes within those boundaries.
Approving pivots
When the investigation loop uncovers new leads or wants to pursue deeper analysis paths, consultants decide which directions to follow. Nothing runs without human approval.
Validating findings
Every finding that reaches a client has been reviewed, validated, and contextualized by a human expert. Nemesis surfaces candidates; consultants make the call.
Signing off deliverables
Reports, test plans, and risk assessments carry a consultant's judgment, not just a tool's output. Nemesis drafts; humans verify and deliver.
Architecture
Runs anywhere. Data stays with you.
Containerized
Nemesis runs as containerized services that deploy to any infrastructure: on-prem, cloud, or hybrid. No vendor lock-in.
Any cloud
AWS, Azure, GCP, or your own data center. Nemesis adapts to your environment rather than forcing you into ours.
Any LLM provider
Nemesis routes AI workloads through a centralized gateway supporting OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Gemini, DeepInfra, Baseten, and AWS Bedrock. Use the provider that fits your requirements.
Data stays in your environment
Client source code and findings never leave the deployment environment. Cloud service boundaries are protected with mTLS. Your data, your infrastructure, your control.
