What is Equixly?
Equixly is an agentic offensive security platform that replaces manual, human-led penetration testing with AI agents for continuous penetration testing of modern applications and APIs. At its core is a proprietary Agentic AI Hacker, a purpose-built autonomous AI system trained to understand how APIs are constructed, communicate, and how attackers exploit them. The AI Hacker operates 24/7, learning how systems behave, chaining API interactions across services, and adapting attack strategies as architecture evolves to find exploitable risks with consistency and depth unmatched by human-led engagements.
Key features include continuous API mapping to understand true attack surface, relentless attack simulations where AI agents adapt to changes across API environments, immediate API risk validation when deployments go live, and API security embedded into DevSecOps workflows through CI/CD pipeline integration. The platform validates and delivers exploitable findings so teams know what to fix first, provides compliance evidence aligned with OWASP, OWASP ASVS, PCI DSS, PSD2, and ISO 27001, and discovers the vulnerabilities traditional tools miss including business logic flaws, cross-service attack chains, API interaction vulnerabilities, privilege escalation paths, and workflow exploitation opportunities.
Equixly is designed for security teams, engineering teams, and organizations responsible for API security, particularly in financial services, insurance, payments, and digital enterprises. It is trusted by leading European banks, insurers, and payment providers who need to move from periodic testing to continuous offensive validation. The platform fits directly into DevSecOps workflows, enabling developers to ship faster without compromising security while providing security leaders with always-on risk identification and real-time exposure views across API-based architectures.

Frequently asked questions about Equixly
What is an Agentic AI Hacker?
An Agentic AI Hacker is an autonomous AI system that attacks applications and APIs the way a skilled human adversary would but continuously, at machine speed, and without the constraints of a fixed scope or testing window. Unlike automated scanners that check for known vulnerability patterns, an Agentic AI Hacker explores application behaviour end to end, chains API interactions, manipulates business logic, and adapts its attack strategy based on what it discovers. Equixly's proprietary Agentic AI Hacker operates persistently inside your environment, finding exploitable risk before attackers do.
What is agentic penetration testing?
Agentic penetration testing is an approach to offensive security that uses autonomous AI agents to continuously attack applications and APIs, rather than relying on periodic, human-led engagements. Traditional penetration testing is scoped in advance, runs for a fixed period, and delivers a point-in-time report. Agentic penetration testing has no fixed window meaning it runs continuously, adapts as the application changes, and surfaces findings in real time. It is designed for modern, API-driven architectures where the attack surface evolves too quickly for periodic testing to keep pace.
How does Equixly differ from traditional penetration testing?
Traditional penetration testing is an event that is scoped, scheduled, executed, and reported as a one-off engagement, typically once or twice a year. Equixly is a continuous offensive security platform. It discovers APIs and application endpoints automatically, attacks them persistently using an Agentic AI Hacker, and validates remediation as fixes are deployed. Where traditional testing reflects a moment in time, Equixly reflects the security posture of what is running in production today. It also goes deeper into business logic and API interaction chains, the vulnerabilities that time-constrained human testing most commonly misses.
What vulnerabilities does Equixly find?
Equixly is built to find the vulnerabilities that traditional tools and periodic testing consistently miss, particularly business logic flaws, cross-service attack chains, API interaction vulnerabilities, privilege escalation paths, and workflow exploitation opportunities. Every finding is grounded in demonstrated exploitability, meaning Equixly shows not just that a vulnerability exists but how it can be abused and what the real-world impact would be. The platform also maps findings against major frameworks including OWASP, ASVS, PCI-DSS, PSD2, and ISO 27001.
How fast is Equixly deployment?
Equixly is designed for fast deployment in production environments. Once connected, the platform begins discovering APIs and mapping the attack surface immediately. Security teams start receiving findings as soon as the platform begins operating. The exact deployment timeline varies by environment, but the absence of traditional scoping and scheduling means Equixly delivers value significantly faster than a conventional penetration testing engagement.
Is Equixly suitable for regulated industries?
Yes. Equixly is already trusted by leading European banks, insurers, and payment providers, industries with both sophisticated threat profiles and strict regulatory requirements. The platform provides continuous visibility aligned with PCI-DSS, PSD2, OWASP, ASVS, and ISO 27001, supporting audit readiness without relying on point-in-time assessments. For organisations subject to NIS2, Equixly's continuous, demonstrable security assurance directly supports the resilience requirements the directive demands.
What frameworks does Equixly support for compliance?
Equixly maps findings against major security frameworks including OWASP, OWASP ASVS (Application Security Verification Standard), PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard), PSD2 (Payment Services Directive 2), and ISO 27001. The platform provides compliance evidence at machine speed, demonstrating a continuously improving API security posture with evidence of validation and remediation progress aligned to these key frameworks.
How does Equixly integrate with development workflows?
Testing runs inside your CI/CD pipeline, fitting directly into DevSecOps workflows. Find, validate, and remediate vulnerabilities within the same workflow so your developers can ship faster without compromising security. The platform enables security teams to test as their environments change, not when the calendar dictates, bringing adversarial testing into development and production to expose exploitable weaknesses before they become business risk.
What is the difference between AI pentesting and human pentesting?
Human pentesting operates in defined windows, relies on manual exploration, is constrained by time and human attention, tests known paths, produces point-in-time findings, and has blindspots between application changes. AI pentesting operates continuously, autonomously explores at scale, adapts tactics in real-time, chains actions across endpoints, provides always-on risk identification, and scales and retests as environments evolve. The Agentic AI Hacker is unconstrained by time, static scope, or fatigue.
How does Equixly validate remediation?
Equixly validates and delivers exploitable findings so teams know what to fix first, then continuously retests as fixes are deployed. The platform provides a predictive remediation plan that developers may use to fix their application issues autonomously. As deployments go live or APIs change, the team gets immediate visibility into whether new API risks have been properly remediated without waiting for the next scheduled engagement, ensuring the security posture reflects what is running in production today.
