About // Xseth

The third option between a consultant and a scanner.

Security teams choose between consultants, who are precise and expensive, and scanners, which are cheap and noisy. A manual penetration test costs $15,000 to $40,000 and is stale the day it lands. Scanners run continuously and produce more findings than a small team can triage. Companies of 20 to 300 people now carry SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIS2 and DORA obligations, and are served well by neither.

Xseth runs autonomous reconnaissance across the whole external attack surface, then proves what it finds. An AI world-model plans the attack chain and a deterministic validation layer confirms it. Nothing is presented as real until a machine, not a language model, has verified it.

This site is the marketing surface. The product lives in the operator console at app.xseth.com.

Principles
/ principle 01

A machine assigns CONFIRMED, never a model

A finding is only CONFIRMED when a deterministic probe reached it and matched real evidence. A language model can rank, explain and prioritise. It cannot promote a finding to confirmed. That single rule is why the report survives an auditor.

/ principle 02

Four states, kept apart

CONFIRMED means verified. REFUTED means we probed it and disproved it, and we publish that too. UNPROVEN means found but not established, which is not the same as safe. NOT PROBED means outside the classes we can test at all.

/ principle 03

Nothing active fires without consent

Seven probe classes are quiet enough to run unattended. Six touch your application actively and are only ever proposed. An operator approves each one, and approval mints a single-use, scope-bound token that expires.
