AI-only XBOW Pentesting Approach

XBOW is an AI-powered application security company. AI-only pentesting solutions promise time savings through automation, however, they often lack the depth, accuracy, and context security teams need. This has the potential to create a situation where AI, intended to reduce workload, generates more work as security teams must validate every AI-generated alert, prioritize based on flawed logic, and contextualize findings that lack proper business understanding. The result is not efficiency, but an added layer of quality control that is often even more time-consuming.

The Balanced NetSPI Approach

NetSPI has developed a balanced approach, combining AI technology with our 350+ in-house security experts to deliver industry-leading quality, speed, and scale. We strategically leverage AI where it provides value in our discovery and testing processes, while ensuring that critical security decisions remain grounded in human expertise and business context. This approach allows us to test your entire attack surface continuously, delivering efficiency and scalability while maintaining the depth, accuracy, and fidelity that only experienced security professionals can provide.
