XBOW
Autonomous AI pentesting that finds and proves exploitable vulnerabilities like a human hacker.
About
XBOW is an autonomous offensive security platform founded in 2024 that pairs AI reasoning with offensive security workflows. Its agents plan, execute, and validate real attack chains against web applications, combining source-code context, headless browsing, and runtime exploitation to surface zero-days and novel vulnerability classes that traditional scanners miss.
Every attack path is fully documented with evidence traces, and findings can flow into remediation workflows via a public API and Jira integration. The company claims its agents have responsibly disclosed thousands of zero-days in production systems, and it earned Fast Company recognition in 2026 for its autonomous hacker approach to proactive defense.
