AI-native offensive security: continuous red teaming, white-box pentests, and PR review
Hacktron Red continuously attacks your entire organization the way a real adversary would, then shows you the breach path and helps close it.
Hacktron Whitebox reads your source code, proves each finding in a sandbox or against your deployed app, and produces an audit-ready report for SOC 2 or ISO 27001.
Every pull request is checked with your whole codebase as context, so issues are caught before they merge into main.
Only findings that can be shown to be exploitable are reported, verified rather than predicted.
A spec-driven AI IDE and agent platform that plans, builds, reviews, and verifies real engineering work.
You describe intent and context first; Kiro captures requirements and design as specifications, then verifies the finished implementation against them.
Kiro Crew watches your backlog, codebase, or CI, triages new work, delegates to specialized bots, and returns results for your review.
Long tasks split into checked steps so agents cannot shortcut a failed test, and review agents inspect diffs before a human approves a merge.
Use the IDE, mobile, or web, run headless in CI/CD with the CLI, or trigger Kiro from Slack, Microsoft Teams, GitHub, and GitLab.
