XBOW
Autonomous offensive security platform that runs real attacks against applications to find vulnerabilities and proves each one through exploitation, for security teams testing continuously.
About XBOW
XBOW, a Seattle company founded in January 2024 by GitHub Copilot creator Oege de Moor, tests applications with AI agents that reason through adversarial workflows and run targeted attacks along deeper paths than point-in-time penetration tests usually reach.
Every potential finding is checked through real exploitation, and security teams receive reproducible proof, which the company says removes theoretical risk and scanner noise.
Testing runs continuously so it can keep pace with development cycles, leaving human experts to focus on investigation, judgment and remediation.
The company says its system reached the top of the HackerOne leaderboard, and its total funding passed $270M after the May 2026 extension.
