ZeroThreat Provides Production-Safe Testing on Live Applications

USA, February 2026 — ZeroThreat is introducing a new standard for live environment security with the launch of production-safe security testing, allowing organizations to safely validate web applications and APIs without the risk of downtime, data corruption, or operational disruption.

Pre-production testing often misses the complexities of live environments, where configuration drift, unique user roles, and active data flows create risks that a sandbox environment cannot replicate.

ZeroThreat addresses this by using AI-powered pentesting to confirm exploitability without triggering business-impacting actions. By combining context-aware analysis with rate-limiting and concurrency thresholds, it enables teams to see exactly what an attacker sees in production while maintaining complete stability and performance.

“Testing security only in a sandbox is like practicing your parallel parking in an empty lot and assuming you’re ready for rush-hour traffic in the city,” said Dharmesh Acharya, Co-Founder of ZeroThreat. “With our production-safe testing, we’ve removed the fear of downtime and data corruption that has historically kept security teams out of live systems.”

Real-World Security for Real-Time Environments

ZeroThreat is designed to bridge the "Staging Gap," where traditional security testing often stops before reaching the live environment due to operational risks. By enabling safe, continuous validation of production systems, ZeroThreat ensures that unique runtime risks are identified before they can be exploited by malicious actors.

Rather than relying on the high-volume request methods of conventional tools, ZeroThreat adopts a validation-first approach. It simulates real-world attack paths while adhering to strict safety boundaries, ensuring that every security check is performed with a contextual understanding of the application's live state.

• Production-Safe Architecture: Eliminate the risk of sensitive data exposure with controlled, non-destructive testing specifically engineered for live web applications and APIs.
• AI-Driven Workflow Analysis: Automatically analyzes authentication states, user roles, and request sequences to ensure security checks are only executed when they are valid and safe.
• Non-Intrusive Validation: Confirm actual exploitability using read-only or reversible techniques that prove risk without triggering data modifications or business-impacting actions.
• Execution Safeguards: Protect application performance with built-in rate-limiting and concurrency thresholds that automatically adjust to maintain system stability.
• Contextual Intelligence: Prioritize findings based on real-world exploitability and business impact, significantly reducing false positives and unnecessary manual review.

“Organizations shouldn't have to choose between security and stability,” said Dharmesh “With AI-powered validation, we’re enabling security teams to safely test like hackers in production, without worrying about data exposure or corruption.”
