AI Security Testing
for the GCC's Most Targeted Enterprises
pentest.ae is the GCC's first Agentic AI Security consultancy in Dubai, UAE. We test what traditional penetration testing firms cannot — prompt injection, tool poisoning, agentic privilege escalation, and the full OWASP LLM Top 10. First findings delivered within 48 hours.
The Tools We Use to Break Things
We combine AI-native attack tooling with battle-tested security frameworks to deliver penetration testing in UAE faster and deeper than traditional firms.

Why Traditional Pentest Firms Can't Test Your AI Stack
AI agents live. Security teams lost.
Your enterprise has deployed AI agents. Your security team has never tested one. No methodology exists at your current pentest firm. We built APEX for exactly this gap.
LLM vulnerabilities your pentest firm can't find.
Prompt injection, tool poisoning, memory manipulation, and agentic privilege escalation are invisible to traditional penetration testing methodology. We test all of them.
NESA, DFSA, and VARA expect AI risk testing.
UAE and GCC regulators now reference AI-specific security controls. Most enterprises cannot demonstrate they have been tested. We close that compliance gap.
AI Security & Penetration Testing Services That Find Real Vulnerabilities
From a 5-day LLM Security Snapshot to a full 8-week Agentic Red Team Exercise — every engagement uses the APEX methodology and delivers actionable findings.
Agentic Red Team Exercise
Full APEX methodology engagement — autonomous AI agent attack simulation across your entire AI stack.
AI Security Assessment
OWASP LLM Top 10 audit, prompt injection sweep, and agent attack surface mapping for your AI applications.
LLM Penetration Testing
Fixed-price 5-day OWASP LLM Top 10 assessment. Single application, 25+ test cases, findings in 48 hours.
Guardian Security Retainer
Continuous security testing, quarterly assessments, and monthly advisory — recurring coverage that scales with your risk.
APEX Methodology
Our proprietary 5-phase AI security framework: Plan, Surface, Exploit, Persist, Report — built for agentic attack surfaces.
Web Application Pentest
OWASP Top 10, business logic flaws, authentication bypass, and injection testing for your web applications.
API Security Testing
REST, GraphQL, and gRPC API security assessment — authentication, authorization, injection, and rate-limiting flaws.
Cloud Penetration Testing
AWS, Azure, and GCP attack surface assessment — IAM misconfigurations, privilege escalation, and lateral movement paths.
The APEX Framework — Agentic Penetration Exercise
Human-led, AI-augmented security testing across five phases. AI agents automate enumeration and fuzzing; human researchers drive creative attack chaining and findings narrative.
Scope & Threat Model
Define rules of engagement, identify AI agent architecture, map trust boundaries, correlate prior breach data. AI agents run automated OSINT in parallel.
Attack Surface Discovery
Asset discovery, tool connection mapping, privilege scope enumeration. AI agents continuously enumerate ports, services, and agent interaction endpoints.
Vulnerability Exploitation
Manual chaining of creative attack paths. AI agents run Garak and PyRIT fuzzing sweeps, automated prompt injection across all exposed LLM endpoints.
Lateral Movement & Persistence
Simulate lateral movement through agent tool chains. Test privilege escalation paths. AI agents attempt continuous exploitation within agreed scope.
Findings & Remediation
Narrative findings report with business impact, CVSS scores, and prioritized remediation roadmap. AI agents auto-generate finding templates and compliance mapping.

AI Security & Penetration Testing — Frequently Asked Questions
What makes pentest.ae different from other UAE penetration testing firms?
We are the only GCC firm with a documented methodology (APEX) for testing AI agents, LLM applications, and autonomous systems. Traditional penetration testing firms cannot assess prompt injection, tool poisoning, memory manipulation, or agentic privilege escalation. We can. We also integrate with the NomadX family — pentest.ae finds vulnerabilities, devsecops.ae remediates them, kubernetes.ae hardens the infrastructure.
Do you test traditional web applications and infrastructure as well as AI?
Yes. Our service portfolio covers the full attack surface: web applications (OWASP Top 10), APIs (REST, GraphQL, gRPC), cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP), network and Active Directory, social engineering, and AI-specific testing (OWASP LLM Top 10, agent hijacking, prompt injection). Most enterprise engagements combine traditional and AI-specific testing.
How long does a typical engagement take?
A Recon Assessment takes 3–5 days (external attack surface only) to 2–3 weeks (with AI component). A Strike engagement runs 3–8 weeks depending on scope. Guardian retainers provide continuous coverage. We deliver first findings within 48 hours of engagement start.
What authorization do I need to provide?
Under Federal Decree-Law No. 34 of 2021 (UAE Cybercrime Law), written authorization from a person with legal authority over the systems being tested is mandatory. We provide a standard Authorization to Test (ATT) document. No testing begins without signed written authorization.
Are you CREST accredited?
We are on the CREST accreditation pathway (Phase 2 in progress). Individual consultants hold OSCP and are pursuing CREST CRT. CREST organizational accreditation is targeted for Q4 2026. In the interim, we operate under documented methodology, professional indemnity insurance, and strict rules of engagement.
