Introduction to XBOW Console
XBOW Console provides automated penetration testing for web applications and their APIs. The platform identifies security vulnerabilities by using AI to send requests to test your application.
What to expect from XBOW testing
XBOW systematically tests your application’s web pages and API endpoints searching for security vulnerabilities. The platform validates exploitable vulnerabilities and provides evidence-based findings to help you prioritize remediation work.
Comparison with manual penetration testing
If you are testing an application that has recently undergone manual penetration testing with no reported issues, XBOW may produce similar results. However, automated testing enables broader attack coverage than most manual tests and may identify vulnerabilities that were not detected by manual testing.
Test result quality depends on application quality
Applications that are unstable, incomplete, or use end-of-life infrastructure may produce limited or unreliable results. For the best results, test applications that are internet accessible, fully functional, and maintained with current security practices.
