Comparing AI Application Security Testing Platforms
Doyensec conducted a structured side-by-side evaluation of two AI-powered penetration testing platforms — Aikido’s Attack AI Pentest and XBOW’s Lightspeed — against real web applications. The assessment manually validated all findings, classifying each as true or false positive, and evaluated configuration overhead, application impact during testing, report quality, cost, and scan speed. The full 5 MB PDF report provides a benchmark of current AI pentesting maturity, including which platform produced higher-fidelity results. Relevant for security teams evaluating AI-assisted testing tooling as a complement or alternative to manual engagements.
