    Inside the Rise of Autonomous AI Hackers: XBOW's Oege de Moor

    Oege de Moor

    The presentation argues that the cybersecurity arms race has shifted to autonomous AI attacks, exemplified by an AI agent named XBO that recently achieved global dominance on HackerOne by discovering critical Microsoft Bing vulnerabilities through black-box testing. Because current defensive tools often fail to verify exploitability in live environments, the speaker urges organizations to immediately integrate autonomous AI into their workflows to counter negative exploit velocity before open-weight models close the capability gap within six to nine months. Ultimately, the event posits that future security success depends entirely on adopting AI-driven offensive and defensive systems rather than relying on traditional human-only methods.

    Oege De Moor (XBOW) & Apoorv Agrawal (Altimeter): Hackers with GPUs Offensive Security in the AI Era

    Oege De Moor, Apoorv Agrawal, Uhey Dhimur

    Altimeter Capital-backed startup Expo has deployed an autonomous AI agent that ranks as the world's top ethical hacker, identifying over 1,200 vulnerabilities including critical zero-days in enterprise giants like Palo Alto Networks and Salesforce within a single week. This superhuman capability forces a strategic industry shift toward AI-driven defense to combat a "skill shortage" in malicious actors that has enabled nation-states to automate attacks with unprecedented speed. While the market anticipates a major cyber incident within twelve months due to rising AI-generated code risks, human security roles are expected to evolve from technical execution to the strategic orchestration of these autonomous systems.

    Cracking the Code on Offensive Security With AI ft XBOW CEO and GitHub Copilot Creator Oege de Moor

    Oege de Moor, Konstantine Buhler, Sonya Huang

    Former Oxford professor and GitHub Copilot creator Uge Demore's company Expo deploys an autonomous AI system to automate offensive security testing, achieving an 85% success rate on proprietary benchmarks while matching top human penetration testers in 28 minutes instead of 40 hours. The platform continuously identifies critical vulnerabilities in major financial institutions and replaces traditional $18,000 manual tests with a scalable, subscription-based service designed to outpace AI-assisted cyber threats. Operating on a foundation of proprietary training data and strict cloud-based guardrails, Expo aims to transform web security standards by making continuous, automated offensive testing accessible to organizations of all sizes.
