Choose the right assessment for the question you have
AiVersary is OSINT threat intelligence — not a full pentest or a CVE scanner. These pages spell out the differences fairly.
AiVersary vs Penetration Test
Both reduce risk. They answer different questions. AiVersary shows what attackers already know from public sources. A pentest tries to prove what can be exploited inside your environment.
Read comparisonAiVersary vs Red Team
Red teams emulate sophisticated attackers end-to-end. AiVersary focuses on the open-source intelligence and scenario design that usually starts that journey — so you can see exposure before funding a multi-week exercise.
Read comparisonAiVersary vs Vulnerability Scan
Scanners are essential for patch prioritization. They do not tell you which executive will be impersonated, which vendor pretext will work, or what your LinkedIn footprint reveals.

Shodan is a powerful lens on what is reachable. Someone still has to interpret banners, certificates, people data, and vendor context into action. That interpretation is the product.

EASM platforms are great at watching your known external assets. AiVersary explains how an adversary would use public information — including people and vendors — to get in without ever scanning you first.
