XBOW is a cybersecurity company focused on autonomous offensive security for modern software teams. Its platform uses AI-driven agents, real offensive security tooling, and deterministic validation to execute customer-authorized attacks against applications and APIs, then surface only findings that have been confirmed through controlled exploitation. This model is designed to move organizations beyond point-in-time testing toward deeper, continuous validation of real-world risk.
The company positions its technology for organizations shipping software quickly and struggling to keep manual penetration testing aligned with release velocity. XBOW supports both on-demand assessments and continuous testing programs, with reporting and automation features that let customers embed offensive security more directly into development, compliance, and security operations workflows.
Offerings, Capabilities, and Integrations
XBOW delivers autonomous penetration testing that can be launched manually or programmatically, with scoped targets, authenticated testing, and optional context to guide assessments. Its capabilities span blackbox, greybox, and whitebox testing, with reproducible proof-of-concept evidence, remediation guidance, audit-ready reporting, automated re-testing, and fix verification. For larger deployments, XBOW adds continuous offensive coverage, shared visibility, and workflow support for teams operating across multiple applications.
On the integration side, XBOW provides REST API and webhook-based automation for assessments, findings, reports, and downstream notifications. It also supports enterprise identity controls such as SSO and optional SCIM-based provisioning, and offers Microsoft security integrations that connect XBOW workflows and findings with Microsoft Sentinel and Microsoft Security Copilot.

Target Customers
XBOW targets security and engineering organizations responsible for web applications, APIs, and cloud-hosted workloads. Its offerings fit teams that need faster validation than traditional consulting-led pentests can provide, including companies with frequent releases, lean security headcount, or broad application portfolios.
Based on its packaging and customer references, XBOW serves both startups seeking compliance-ready pentest results and larger enterprises moving from annual or periodic testing to continuous application security validation. Typical buyers include application security teams, security engineering teams, and organizations that want offensive testing tied more closely to remediation, compliance, and security operations workflows.
