Terra Security launches Prevention to generate blocking rules from pentest findings

Terra Security said its new Prevention feature can generate and validate targeted WAF or firewall rules for confirmed exploits while teams work on permanent fixes.

Terra Security said its new Prevention feature can generate and validate targeted WAF or firewall rules for confirmed exploits while teams work on permanent fixes.

Terra Security said on Aug. 3, 2026, that it launched a new Terra Platform capability called Prevention, which it says can help block confirmed attacks while remediation is underway.

The company said the feature is available now and is meant to narrow the time between a verified exploitable finding and a permanent fix. Terra said its AI agents first test whether existing compensating controls already stop the specific attack path. If they do not, the system generates a targeted web application firewall, or WAF, or firewall rule and validates it against the exploit.

Terra said the feature is intended for a common security gap: pentest findings often come with general mitigation advice, while code fixes and change approvals can take longer to deploy. The company said Prevention fits into its existing triage process of exploit, remediation guidance and retest.

The release also said sensitive production changes use a Human-on-the-Loop review step. Terra said the security team then clicks to implement the rule.

Co-Founder and CTO Gal Malachi said in the release that finding an exploitable risk is only half the job. He said traditional mitigation guidance from a pentest is generic and often ignored, and that Prevention validates whether existing controls stop the specific confirmed attack before generating a rule when they do not.

Terra described itself in the release as an AI-native offensive security platform. It said Fortune 500 organizations use the platform across web, AI systems, internal apps, APIs, mobile, networks and cloud. The company did not provide independent verification of those claims in the release.

The announcement came from New York and said teams could see the product at Black Hat from Aug. 4-6 at booth #4947 or request a demo at terra.security/get-a-demo.

Terra did not say in the release how many customers will have access to Prevention, whether it changes pricing or whether it has been independently tested outside the company.
