Aikido Security's survey of 200 CISOs and 200 engineering leaders found that 76% of teams deploy significant changes at least weekly, yet only 21% validate security on every release, highlighting the …
Northzone, a venture capital firm, warns that most AI productivity tools are overhyped and overfunded, estimating that only a few will survive as standalone businesses. The firm notes that AI applicat…
A quiet 'specialized frontier' of AI already outperforms generalist chatbots in CAD, UI/UX, law, medicine, finance, and science, but the most security-sensitive systems—such as Anthropic's Claude Myth…
XBOW's mid-year 2026 AI model security research report finds that mid-tier AI models, including Z.ai's GLM-5.2, xAI's Grok 4.5, Anthropic's Opus 4.7, and Meta's Muse Spark 1.1, have dramatically impro…
Aikido's 2026 State of AI in Pentesting report finds that more than half of security leaders say manual pentests often or always miss logic flaws, broken access controls and multi-step vulnerabilities…
Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview model broke HAWK, a post-quantum signature scheme under NIST review, via a key-recovery attack that halved its effective security, leading the HAWK team to withdraw t…
Security researcher elder-plinius released T3MP3ST, an open-source meta-harness that turns AI coding agents like Claude Code and OpenAI Codex into autonomous red-team operators, scoring 90.1% pass@1 o…
Google's Big Sleep AI agent found a live memory-safety bug in SQLite (CVE-2025-6965) and got it patched before exploitation, marking the first time an AI has foiled a real exploit pre-deployment. A ho…
Equixly and XBOW both use autonomous AI agents to continuously test web applications for vulnerabilities, but they diverge on architecture: Equixly runs its own in-house AI trained on offensive securi…
LaunchSafe's Mako, an autonomous web exploitation engine built on the Self-Evolving Agentic Operating System (SE-AOS), achieved full-suite coverage on the XBOW validation benchmarks by exploiting 104 …
Open-weight models GLM and DeepSeek are closing the gap with frontier models at finding software vulnerabilities, according to a benchmark by cybersecurity firm Hacktron. Testing eight models on 15 re…
Budgeting for penetration testing now requires balancing automated tools with expert services, as cybersecurity teams must decide which risks need continuous validation and which require human-led tes…
A trial of XBOW's autonomous offensive security platform uncovered a vulnerability that led to a full takedown of a development environment used by Moderna. Security leaders say advanced AI models are…
XBOW's AI-powered security platform discovered a critical vulnerability in Moderna's development environment within hours, a task that would have taken human penetration testers significantly longer. …
Companies rapidly embedding artificial intelligence into customer-facing and internal systems have created new attack surfaces that traditional security methods cannot adequately address. Static check…
Independent security consultancy Doyensec found that Aikido's AI pentesting tool discovered 49 verified vulnerabilities versus XBOW's 31 in a head-to-head benchmark on two real applications, a 58% inc…
Critical evaluation framework for purchasing AI-powered penetration testing tools, warning that the market is fragmented and that vendors often use the same terms to describe different capabilities. I…
A self-orchestrating team of LLM-driven vulnerability-hunting agents has discovered over 20 CVEs in recent months, including CVE-2026-31432 and CVE-2026-31433, two remote, unauthenticated out-of-bound…
