DAST vs. XBOW AI pentesting.
Both test running applications, but they diverge in how they think, adapt, and validate vulnerabilities.
We break down the methodology and benchmark data behind each approach.
Read the full comparison in our latest blog: https://bit.ly/3OTPdJS
Boards are asking CISOs tougher questions as the gap between vulnerability and exploitation continues to narrow. XBOW was built for this reality: autonomous AI that continuously probes your environment and validates exploits before they reach your team. See it in action: https://xbow.com/
Faster vulnerability discovery and patching. Less noise. Lower cost.
Autonomous offensive security is reshaping offensive security, and XBOW is proud to be featured among the top AI-powered pentesting tools.

In the “Hackerbot-claw” case, an AI bot scanned GitHub, tried 5 exploit paths, and exfiltrated a token…autonomously.
AI threats move continuously. Human expertise + continuous autonomous testing is the new baseline.

XBOW has been named to #TheAgenticList2026! 🎉
Honored to be recognized as a top trending agentic AI company. We’re building autonomous offensive security to deliver security outcomes that matter.
Thank you to our customers, partners, and team. 🔗 https://www.agentconference.com/agenticlist/2026
The breakthrough isn’t speed alone. It’s scale.
In @thenewstack.io, GitLab CISO Josh Lemos explores how autonomous agents like XBOW are accelerating vulnerability discovery at machine scale and what security leaders must rethink in response: https://bit.ly/4aMeJbj
Autonomous pentesting is one click closer. 🖱️
XBOW is now available on AWS Marketplace.

Traditional scanners flood teams with alerts. Triage becomes the bottleneck.
Autonomous pentesting chains static + dynamic testing and validates exploits before reporting.
No noise. No false positives. 📄 Read the whitepaper: https://xbow.com/whitepaper/autonomous-pentesting-without-false-positives
Our CEO & Founder explains on the Boss Class podcast why the best defense in an AI-driven world is a strong, automated offense.
But as organizations race to keep up with AI threats, there will be a chaos phase, before systems are fully ahead.

Hear from our partner Rhymetec about how they conduct AI-powered pentesting in real-world deployments.
Here’s what autonomous offensive security in action looks like: https://bit.ly/4q95DLc
Most IDORs aren’t “guess the next number.” They hide in real authorization logic.
In our latest Tales from the Trace, XBOW uncovered two zero-day IDORs by reasoning through the app like a pentester, even after 403s and 502s.
