Systems that decide what to do next > traditional tools

That’s the advantage of agentic AI: discovery, prioritization, and broader coverage.

Our Head of AI, Albert Ziegler, discusses how systems don’t just run tests; they choose what to test next in Cyber Security Tribe: https://bit.ly/4lZzo0y

I joined Xbow in January because I was intrigued by the idea of continuous pentesting and using AI for something meaningful.
Today it seems like I was right to be intrigued. XBOW is a unicorn 🦄!

When we founded this, we had no idea whether using AI for pentesting was even possible. Back then, it honestly wasn't! So hearing a customer gasp and say "it's acting like a nation-state attacker" has made 2 years of work feel worth it.

Not directly from rocks. The structures are formed biologically from Ca ions dissolved in the seawater (look up “biomineralization”). Presumably chalk and limestone are good sources for the calcium to get into the seawater in the first place, but I’m guessing at this point.
