About Equixly

We're offensive but friendly – Get to know us

Equixly is an offensive security company founded on the knowledge that attackers already operate with AI – enabling them to be fast, persistent, and scale at ease – while organizations are still defending with an outdated approach. Equixly was built to give defenders the same always-on capability that attackers already have, through continuous penetration testing that evolves with every change your systems make. We're building the agentic AI security category that modern applications actually need.

Our Mission

To make offensive security continuous and autonomous, giving organizations the ability to meet AI-powered attackers with AI of their own.

Our Vision

A future where offensive security is proactive by design.

Every application and API continuously tested by autonomous AI, exposing real risk before attackers find it.

Our Founders

Our founders identified the rising threats to APIs, such as data breaches and injection attacks, and created a company to provide specialized security solutions.
