Agentic Offensive Security at Scale
Hex Security builds AI agents that run continuous penetration tests against your apps and infrastructure. Instead of a once-a-year penetration test, Hex Security's agents works 24/7 to find and verify critical vulnerabilities so you can prevent them before attackers.
Hex Security offers AI-powered autonomous penetration testing that continuously probes web apps, APIs, and infrastructure. The platform emphasizes continuous assessment driven by autonomous AI agents, aiming to outperform traditional annual security testing.
The product deploys AI-driven agents that continuously reason like elite security researchers to identify vulnerabilities across web applications, APIs, and infrastructure. It claims rapid protection (minutes, not months), no false positives, and validated findings with working proof-of-concepts. It positions automated testing as a substitute for periodic manual assessments and emphasizes continuous attack simulation against live systems.
Who it’s for: Security teams and engineering organizations seeking continuous, autonomous penetration testing for web apps, APIs, and infrastructure, including unicorn-scale companies given references in materials.

Co-Founder, Hex Security. Previously, I was building robots that learned from each other by sharing skills on-chain, and researching World Models that give robots complete environmental understanding. Our robot became the first in history to ring the NASDAQ bell. I studied Math at University of Waterloo.
AmazonCo-Founder, Hex Security. Previously, I built software at companies like PlayAI, AWS, and Capital One. On the side, I built consumer apps that reached millions of downloads. But I've always loved breaking things just as much as building them. In college, I reverse engineered every major ATS platform and built Talently, a tool that sent over 200K job applications. Now we build AI that hacks before attackers do.
Co-Founder @ Hex Security At Codegen, I built asynchronous coding agents that improved the workflow of developers, and even got non-developers writing production software. At AMD, I built infrastructure for MI300 GPU firmware testing. I competed internationally in piano, winning multiple competitions and performing with orchestras like the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra.
AI agents that find security vulnerabilities in your apps & infrastructure
Hex Security builds AI agents that run continuous penetration tests against apps and infrastructure, finding vulnerabilities, chaining exploits, and delivering actionable findings with reproduction steps at a lower cost than traditional pentesting. The launch showcases real-world finds in YC companies and offers discovery calls to assess a user’s systems.
