XBOW Lightspeed

XBOW provides AI-powered continuous offensive security testing for applications. The company was founded by the creators of GitHub Copilot and GitHub Advanced Security, bringing expertise in AI and security tooling to the penetration testing space.

The company offers automated penetration testing services that leverage artificial intelligence to continuously assess application security posture. Their approach focuses on offensive security techniques, using AI to identify and validate exploitable vulnerabilities in applications. XBOW provides services including their "Lightspeed" penetration testing product, which comes with a guarantee to find exploit-validated security findings.

The team includes security researchers, AI researchers, and research engineers who work on developing and operating the AI-powered testing platform. The company's leadership includes experts in AI, security research, and engineering who previously worked on major security and development tools at GitHub.

XBOW targets organizations that need ongoing offensive security assessments of their applications, providing an alternative to traditional manual penetration testing through automated, AI-driven continuous testing. The platform aims to identify real exploitable vulnerabilities rather than just potential security issues, with validation of findings as a core component of their service offering.
