Security leaders are being asked two questions right now, and most organizations can answer only one of them.
The first is: Where are we exposed? That question has generated an entire industry. Scanners. Agents. Dashboards. Threat intelligence feeds. If you want a list of what might be vulnerable in your environment, there are plenty of tools to produce one.
The second question is harder to answer: Can an attacker actually get in? Not theoretically. Not based on a CVSS score. In your specific environment, against your actual controls, with the tradecraft that the most capable AI-equipped adversaries are using today.
That second question requires an adversary to answer it.
Palo Alto Networks has built Unit 42 Frontier AI Defense around the recognition that organizations need to know whether their exposure can result in a successful attack. That is an honest framing of the problem and the exact question Armadin Red was built to answer.
Armadin’s partnership with Palo Alto Networks integrates Armadin’s autonomous external attack platform directly into Unit 42’s frontier AI-driven service. When a Unit 42 engagement includes external perimeter validation, the answer comes from a machine-speed attack campaign run against the customer’s actual internet-facing assets, not a model of them. These findings include validated kill chains showing exactly where an AI-equipped adversary could successfully exploit vulnerabilities today.
CEO Nikesh Arora has been clear about the standard Palo Alto Networks holds itself to. That same standard is what drove Armadin’s engineering from the beginning. The question every board is asking their CISO—“Are we secure?”—deserves a proof-based answer. This new partnership between Armadin and Palo Alto Networks is how we deliver one.
