Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • UltraViolet claims 400+ Global 2000 and federal customers, supporting sales momentum.
  • June 2026 Solstice launch promises 20% faster engagements and broader coverage.
  • April 2026 FAA consulting awards show continued federal demand for its services.

What critics are saying

  • AI-Augmented pentesting commoditizes services; Solstice must prove pricing power by 2027.
  • Federal concentration is real: FAA-related awards dominated 2026 obligations, exposing budget resets.
  • Integration risk from Black Duck AST can distract operators and dilute service quality this year.

What makes UltraViolet Cyber unique

  • UltraViolet Cyber unifies red, blue, and purple teams in one platform.
  • Solstice pairs human operators with AI across 30,000+ engagements, launched June 3, 2026.
  • Black Duck AST acquisition added appsec testing, red teaming, and cloud assessments on September 4, 2025.

UltraViolet Cyber launches Solstice AI platform for application penetration testing

UltraViolet Cyber has launched Solstice, a proprietary AI platform for application penetration testing that combines human expertise with artificial intelligence. The platform is trained on data from over 30,000 UltraViolet engagements and operates in a human-led, AI-powered architecture. Solstice aims to deliver faster engagements—approximately 20% quicker—whilst maintaining quality and providing broader attack surface coverage. The platform maintains persistent memory across engagements, carrying forward confirmed findings and application-specific behaviours to create increasingly sharper assessments. Unlike commercial AI tools trained on generic data, Solstice uses UltraViolet's proprietary knowledge base, including runbooks and historical findings. The platform operates within UltraViolet's integrated security model, where offensive findings directly inform defensive detection capabilities.
