Xint Pulse offers one-time scans of web applications powered by the full award-winning capabilities of the Xint enterprise platform
News Summary:
- Xint Pulse is a black-box autonomous penetration testing tool built for one-time scans of web applications
- It includes the full capabilities of the award-winning Xint enterprise platform, which has the same depth and detail as a human penetration tester, at a price point accessible for startups and small and medium-sized businesses.
- This makes AI-powered application scanning available to all organizations, not just larger enterprises that can afford expensive ongoing agreements with frontier AI labs.
AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today Xint.io announced the launch of Xint Pulse, a black-box autonomous pentesting tool that provides the full capabilities of the award-winning Xint enterprise platform to product security teams needing timely, one-off checks of their applications. The ability to harness AI to achieve the quality of human pentesting results used to be reserved only for large enterprises that could score invite-only access to state-of-the-art frontier models or could afford annual agreements meant for ongoing testing of dozens or even hundreds of applications.
But with Xint Pulse, organizations of all sizes, from startups to large enterprises, can now perform a scan of their applications with the same Xint technology that was named Best Automated Pentesting Platform by The Hacker News in June of 2026 and found high-severity (7.0+ CVSS score) vulnerabilities in the software trusted by billions (such as Linux, Android, iOS, PostgreSQL, Redis, and MariaDB), outperforming even the latest models from frontier labs.
Xint Pulse uses LLMs combined with a proprietary orchestration engine to identify, reproduce, validate and understand critical security vulnerabilities in web application code. It can analyze millions of lines of source code, configuration files and binaries in less than 12 hours at the same depth and detail as a human penetration tester.
“We're constantly innovating new features for our clients, but trust is the number one requirement since you're dealing with critical business operations data,” said Enoch Yoon, Manager at Z Enterprise, a FinTech startup helping small and medium-sized enterprises automate and manage their corporate taxes and accounting. “We needed the flexibility to be able to surge application testing around launches in a way that supported our mission to continuously improve our customers' experience without compromising on security. With Xint Pulse we get results in hours, including full trigger conditions, step-by-step repro steps, and exploit impact reports so our team can immediately address the most important issues.”
At $3,000 per application scan, Xint Pulse is ideal for one-time tests on applications for use cases such as compliance submissions, vendor assessments, pre-release validation, or for small organizations that cannot afford a full, human-led pentest.
“When we launched Xint Enterprise late last year, we successfully demonstrated that we could take the expertise of the most decorated white hat hackers and turn it into the most complete autonomous application security for both black box and white box,” said Jeffrey Martin, Vice President of Product at Xint.io. “With the launch of Pulse we made these powerful capabilities accessible to all size organizations with no compromise on the quality of findings or depth of scanning.”
Xint was built by the same team behind record wins at DEF CON and Pwn2Own, along with wins at DARPA’s AIxCC and Zeroday.Cloud from Google Wiz. The goal of Xint was to take the expertise of the world’s most decorated white hat hackers and scale it to the modern threat posed by AI-armed attackers.
Xint Pulse currently focuses on black-box testing – that is, an organization provides the URL for its web-based applications and then Xint’s autonomous AI agents probe for intrusion feasibility the way a real attacker would using context to assess the attack paths with the most valuable payoffs. With Xint Pulse, organizations can scan one application and retest up to 3 times inside a 30-day period for $3,000 per application.
Teams then receive a compliance-ready report providing severity scores for each possible vulnerability, full trigger conditions for the exploit, exploit impact so that security teams can spend time and effort on remediating the important results, and suggested remediations to accelerate fixes. With these outputs, customers have been able to create proof-of-concepts (PoCs) for findings in 15 minutes or less and patch the bugs in less than 30 minutes.
Before the end of the year Xint Pulse will also launch white-box testing so that product security teams can upload their source code and scan it line-by-line to find the root cause of vulnerabilities at the code level.
To avoid Xint Pulse from being used by malicious actors, at launch it will only be available by speaking with Xint in order to set up your account and perform KYC validation.
