StackHawk vs. XBOW

XBOW has gained a lot of attention in the past few months. Their AI reached #1 on HackerOne’s U.S. leaderboard, the first autonomous system to do so. In an independent benchmark of 104 realistic web security scenarios, their platform matched a senior pentester with over 20 years of experience, scoring 85% of findings in 28 minutes versus his 40 hours. That’s the kind of progress we love to see in AppSec. Finding vulnerabilities faster, at lower cost, with less dependence on already scarce human expertise.
