Frequently asked questions
What does Hadrian actually do?
Hadrian is an agentic AI offensive security platform with two modules. Atlas continuously discovers and tests everything a company exposes online, including forgotten hosts, and validates which exposures are genuinely exploitable. Nova runs on-demand agentic penetration tests against a nominated application, signing up, mapping the API and chaining flaws the way a skilled tester would. Every finding comes with the requests and responses that prove it, so security teams act on verified risks rather than a list of CVE matches.
How is Hadrian priced?
Atlas, the continuous external exposure management module, is priced based on total asset count. Nova, the on-demand agentic penetration testing module, starts from €1,250 per test excluding VAT, with bundles available. No implementation fee is stated. All prices are quoted in euros and invoices are issued annually in advance, with payment due within 30 days; annual uplifts follow the Eurostat HICP index. Full Nova reporting is included, and Atlas add-ons cover M&A assessment and infostealer credential leak detection.
How is Hadrian different from a traditional vulnerability scanner or a manual pentest?
The vendor positions Hadrian against periodic scanning that produces high volumes of false positives. Hadrian runs continuously and autonomously, using an event-driven agentic engine that mimics human hacker behaviour and validates each risk so that anything surfaced has been confirmed exploitable. Compared with manual pentests, Nova is scheduled on the customer's timeline rather than the supplier's calendar, and every test performed, the AI's reasoning and the supporting evidence are visible, which Hadrian describes as transparency manual engagements cannot match.
Who typically buys Hadrian?
Hadrian's own FAQ names security operations teams and CISOs of medium and large enterprises who struggle with asset inventory, alert validation and threat prioritisation. Its about page claims more than 300 enterprises worldwide, with customer examples including Damen, London Business School and SHV. In practice the buyer is an organisation that already has a SOC or SecOps function, owns a large internet-facing estate, and wants outside-in validation plus a clean, evidence-backed remediation queue rather than another raw scanner feed.
What does Hadrian integrate with?
Hadrian is API-first and lists integrations across six areas: ticketing and ITSM (Jira, ServiceNow, GLPI, Azure DevOps, Linear, GitHub), messaging and on-call (Slack, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty), SIEM, SOAR and observability (Datadog, Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, Google Security Operations, Cortex XSOAR, Tines), endpoint and threat intelligence (SentinelOne, CrowdStrike Falcon, Microsoft Defender), cloud and edge (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Cloudflare), and support and CRM (Zendesk, HubSpot). The vendor states its API can connect to almost any other tooling.
