What is Automated Offensive Security

Pentesting at the Speed of AI

Automated offensive security turns penetration testing from a periodic exercise into a continuous, AI-powered capability.

In this video, XBOW’s founders explain how an idea expected to take a year reached experienced pentester-level results in just three months, revealing how quickly AI could transform security testing. As tools like Copilot accelerate software creation, they also increase the volume of insecure applications entering production.

The advantage of AI-powered penetration testing is speed and availability. Organizations can test on demand, run continuously, and move security earlier in the development lifecycle, including testing new pull requests before release.

The message is clear: penetration testing must evolve alongside software development. Automated offensive security gives defenders a way to match the pace of AI-driven development and emerging threats.
