Pentest Security Tools

Aikido provides everything the average startup to mid-market company needs for security in a box - every code and cloud security scanner under the sun without much feature compromise, alongside a surprisingly robust runtime application solution for things like bot prevention. A no-nonsense replacement for a lot of more "specialized" solutions that tend to slow developers down.

Corgea provides a robust bundling of AI first scanning tools - from AI SAST to SCA and Secrets scanning. Corgea's especially strong at discovering vulnerabilities via AI scanning, and AI based prioritization for false positive analysis.

Ox provides an all-in-one application security solution that provides their own scanners combined with the ability to import third party findings. They also have a robust API for managing the data in the tool.

Escape is doing amazing things with their approach to DAST. They thoroughly discover your APIs and schemas by searching your frontend code, and then test those APIs from the outside. They have great scanning support for modern languages, and also in depth testing configurations.

XBOW deploy AI agents that continuously map an application's attack surface, chain and execute exploits, and independently validate findings to eliminate false positives. Testing triggers on application changes, and its agents reached #1 on the US HackerOne leaderboard.

Ophion gets the closest I've seen to a realistic automated pentest, and are essentially offering ongoing recon as a service. They aren't just running DAST scanners against your endpoints, but are instead doing a very realistic reacon of your public facing assets. One small example illustrating the difference is looking at the public commit history of your company employees on public GitHub repos.

Inspectiv has built a bug bounty platform focused on the customer experience of managing the reports and payouts on your behalf, eliminating some of the mundane work of running a bug bounty program.

HackerOne is the standard for bug bounty programs. It's questionable if you can use them to check the box for a pentest, so check with your auditor before doing so; however, a bug bounty program can be much more useful than a pentest in many cases. Keep in mind the heavy maintenance cost of auditing reports from people who want bounties for minor findings.

Staris built a platform for open box pentesting powered by GenAI. They look at your code and your application, build a PoC exploit of findings as a code test, and give you the fixed code. The workflow is wrapped as a pentest - which offers a glimpse into what the future of pentesting will undoubtedly look like. Staris uses GenAI to help find exploits from SAST to runtime.

Agentic AI offensive security platform running continuous, human-overseen penetration testing across web apps, APIs, networks, and AI systems.

Proprietary offensive-security AI model that continuously pentests web apps, mobile apps, APIs, and external attack surfaces.

Ethiack is a combination DAST scanner and pentesting platform, using customized scanners to detect issues and working with hackers for either validation or manual pentesting.
