At RedVeil, we believe that normalizing high-frequency, event-driven penetration testing is the key to moving offensive security forward. That means eliminating the time and cost constraints of the annual compliance check, while preserving the quality of an expert-driven test.
To help us deliver on this promise, we’re partnering with Submersion AI, making them the exclusive model provider for RedVeil. Moving forward, our penetration testing platform will be powered by Basin, Submersion AI’s specialized cyber reasoning model.
Why Basin?
Basin was an obvious choice for RedVeil and our customers. Many modern AI security platforms are simple "GPT wrappers" of generic, off-the-shelf commercial LLMs (like OpenAI or Claude) wrapped in a security UI. While general-purpose models excel at conversational tasks, they fall short when tasked with complex offensive security operations.
When we look at Basin, we see important advantages over frontier models:
-
Data Sovereignty and Security. Security-conscious software companies and regulated enterprises are rightly skeptical about funneling sensitive application logic, API endpoints, and internal architecture data to generic commercial LLM providers. Partnering exclusively with Submersion AI lets us deliver frontier-level performance while keeping customer data private and controlled.
-
Security-Specific Cyber Reasoning. Basin is purposefully trained for offensive security testing and cyber reasoning. It investigates live, running systems, navigates state-aware attack paths, checks what is actually exploitable, and generates verifiable attack chains. Its 80% score on CyberGym is proof that Basin meets and exceeds the bar set by frontier models, but without the drawbacks.
-
Validated Vulnerabilities, Unthrottled and Prioritized. Basin uncovers real vulnerabilities and returns concrete evidence alongside step-by-step reproduction and remediation guidance. It keeps customers at the forefront of AI capabilities in a responsible and governed manner.
What This Means for RedVeil Customers
By combining Submersion AI’s specialized Basin engine with RedVeil’s AI-driven testing platform, we deliver a true alternative to both slow consulting firms and shallow automated tools. We’re able to continue executing deep attack-path reasoning across Web, API, Network, and Cloud environments, built around real penetration testing workflows.
At the same time, our customers avoid drawbacks such as vendor lock-in, privacy exposure, and training pauses associated with frontier models. Customers using RedVeil can continue to rely on transparent annual subscriptions at a capacity that yields significantly more testing per dollar.
Penetration testing should never be a stressful, point-in-time compliance scramble or the start of a wild goose chase. By pairing RedVeil with Submersion AI’s Basin model, lean security teams, engineering leaders, and GRC teams gain a powerful solution for strengthening their security posture.
