    The category, framed

    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.

    StealthNet sits here

    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.

    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions

    An AI penetration testing platform uses autonomous agents to simulate attacker behavior across web apps, APIs, networks, and identity surfaces. Unlike vulnerability scanners, the goal is to validate what an attacker can actually exploit, not just list potential weaknesses.
