AI security is splitting into two markets
Buyers should know which group a platform belongs to before comparing features. The two groups solve different problems and produce different deliverables.
AppSec and developer security platforms
Help engineering teams find and fix issues across code, dependencies, and cloud workflows. The deliverable is a continuous AppSec posture, not a pentest report.
Often evaluated: Aikido, Keygraph.
Offensive security and pentesting platforms
Simulate real attackers and validate exploitability against deployed systems. The deliverable is an exploit-validated, compliance-ready penetration test report.
Often evaluated: StealthNet, XBOW, Terra Security.

| Platform | Primary Category | Best Fit | Pentesting Depth | Compliance Reporting | Pricing Clarity | Human Validation | StealthNet Takeaway |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
StealthNet | AI-powered penetration testing | Teams needing real-world validation and compliance deliverables | High | Strong, audit-ready | Clear one-off and annual pricing | AI plus senior tester options | Built for pentest outcomes |
XBOW | Autonomous offensive security | Technical teams exploring autonomous exploitation | High technical depth | Less standardized | Less transparent publicly | Primarily autonomous | Strong on autonomous exploitation |
Terra Security | Agentic pentesting with human oversight | Enterprise teams evaluating AI plus human workflows | Moderate to high | Available, scope dependent | Likely custom scoped | Yes, agentic plus human | Enterprise agentic workflows |
Aikido | Developer-first AppSec platform | Engineering teams managing AppSec workflows | Lower for external pentesting | Not focused on pentest deliverables | Subscription-based AppSec | Limited | AppSec, not pentesting |
Keygraph | AppSec and AI security platform | Teams focused on source-code-driven security | Lower for external pentesting | Not focused on pentest deliverables | Less transparent | Limited | Code security, not pentest outcomes |
