XBOW

What it is

A hosted service that points autonomous agents at a URL you scope, maps the attack surface, and returns only findings it has independently validated with a working exploit. You can give it extra context such as docs, credentials, and API specs to push the test deeper.

What it helps with

- Exploring applications and APIs the way an attacker would
- Chaining weaknesses into attack paths that scanners often miss
- Proving exploitability before a finding reaches your queue
- Retesting continuously as applications change

Who it's for

Application and offensive security teams testing web apps and APIs they own or are authorized to assess.

Worth knowing

XBOW says every action is logged and auditable, and that deployment can match enterprise data residency and compliance needs such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001. Pricing is scoped to your environment and sold by quote, including through major cloud marketplaces.

How does a run work?
It describes five steps: learn from your context, map the surface, coordinate agents, attack in parallel, then prove each finding with an independent validator.

Is it a one-time pentest?
No, XBOW presents continuous coverage that retests as applications change, not only an annual snapshot.
