A New Era for Offensive Security

NetSPI gathered nearly 500 employees in Minneapolis for its 2023 kickoff, crediting collaboration, technical depth, and responsible disclosure to its claim as global leader in offensive security.

XBOW tests your whole external application estate the way an attacker would, with no source code and no credentials, and proves what is exploitable.

XBOW tested Grok 4.7 on exploit crafting and agentic pentests: inside xAI's Build it improved substantially over 4.6, outside Build it slipped slightly—orchestration now matters as much as prompts.

Bugcrowd's Savant Forge combines fuzz testing with symbolic execution to surface real exploitable vulnerabilities in CI/CD pipelines, while Savant Runtime tracks live third-party components in production to support SBOM compliance.

SpecterOps maps where AI helps offensive security (recon, tooling, vuln discovery) and where it still fails, stressing that results hinge on the harness: context, tools, state, independent validation, and human judgment.

Project Naptime evaluates the offensive security capabilities of large language models, presenting a methodology, tooling setup, and early successes finding real vulnerabilities.
