AI-Based Autonomous Penetration Testing Platform for DevSecOps Environment, Included Among Seven Global Companies

 
A case has emerged where domestic security companies' technological capabilities in the AI-based autonomous penetration testing market have been validated on the global stage. Xint, the AI penetration testing solution from Theori, an offensive cybersecurity-specialized company, has been named as an innovator in the official report by IDC (International Data Corporation), a global IT market research organization.
 
Theori announced on the 14th that Xint was selected in IDC's 'IDC Innovators: Autonomous Penetration Testing for DevSecOps' report (Doc# US54,175,326). The report analyzes seven companies providing AI agent-based autonomous penetration testing in DevSecOps (integrated development, security, and operations) environments, with IDC analysts directly selecting the subjects.
 
Business Logic Vulnerability Detection and Runtime Cross-Analysis
 
The IDC report cited Xint's strengths as: △precise detection of business logic vulnerabilities that attackers actually exploit △stable diagnostic performance not dependent on any specific AI model △a structure that performs cross-analysis of source code and runtime environments to broaden the scope of security testing. It is also reported that the company was evaluated for its capability to verify actual exploitable attack paths by sequentially tracking user behavior, state, and permissions, rather than merely checking individual functional units.
 
Xint Composed of Three Types: Code, Web, and Pulse
 
Xint is composed of three modules: △'Xint Code,' a white-box penetration testing solution that analyzes source code context and data flow during the development phase to preemptively eliminate defects △'Xint Web,' which performs black-box penetration testing in production operating environments △'Xint Pulse,' an on-demand penetration testing solution. The company explained that this is a structure covering the entire cycle from development to operations, as the security attack surface is expanding beyond the scope addressed by conventional manual testing due to the proliferation of AI-generated code and rapid release cycles.
 
Kwak Kyung-joo, head of Xint product, stated, "This selection is a result of receiving global market recognition for the necessity of autonomous penetration testing and the practicality of Xint for immediate application to DevSecOps workflows." Theori provides security consulting to Google, Microsoft, Okta, and Samsung Electronics, and in addition to Xint, operates 'αprism,' an LLM security solution, and 'Dreamhack,' a cybersecurity education platform with over 80,000 members.
