Strix

What is Strix?

Strix is an autonomous penetration testing platform that continuously scans web applications, APIs, code, and cloud infrastructure for security vulnerabilities. It targets development and security teams by validating findings with proofs of exploit and generating merge-ready pull requests to fix issues. The vendor states that source code is never stored or used for model training, and the platform supports self-hosted deployment in VPCs, on-premise, or air-gapped environments.

What are the features of Strix?

• Continuous penetration testing

  Scans REST APIs, GraphQL endpoints, web applications, and cloud infrastructure continuously, reproducing each finding to confirm exploitability.
• Automated vulnerability remediation

  Generates a code fix, retests to verify the vulnerability is resolved, and delivers a merge-ready pull request.
• Pull request security review

  Analyzes code and pull requests within CI pipelines to catch vulnerabilities before they are merged.
• Proof-of-exploit validation

  Ships every finding with reproduction steps and a proof of concept tested against the live environment.
• Infrastructure and cloud scanning

  Detects misconfigurations such as public S3 bucket access, IAM wildcard policies, and unencrypted databases across cloud environments.
• Context-aware testing

  Tailors tests based on the target's stack, architecture, and business logic, learning from past findings and applied fixes.

What are the use cases of Strix?

• Preventing vulnerable deployments

  Integrates into CI/CD pipelines to block merges when new code introduces exploitable security flaws.
• Internal network assessment

  Tests internal networks, services, and infrastructure from inside an organization's environment, beyond external attack surfaces.
• Remediating specific API flaws

  Identifies vulnerabilities like insecure direct object references or server-side request forgery and provides exact code changes to resolve them.
