About MindFort
MindFort is a security swarm platform that makes it easy for teams to run continuous security testing across all their applications and services. Our fully autonomous agents powered by our in-house models that can find, exploit, and patch complex vulnerabilities in web applications at massive scale. MindFort swarms use the same principles as human penetration testers to understand their target and figure out the best ways to work together to exploit it. While security teams were already behind with legacy tools and processes, AI coding is make the problem worse. AI generates code far faster than human teams can secure it; MindFort can match that speed and scale. Our agents will become critical as organizations scale up development with AI.
