APX Labs

APX Labs is a cybersecurity company that offers an AI-powered offensive security platform designed to integrate into the software development lifecycle. The company was founded by a security engineer and a software developer, and its platform is built around two distinct products targeting different stages of application security. The first product, Niro, is a self-managed, continuous AI pentesting tool that runs within the customer's own environment. It tests code changes throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC) to identify exploitable vulnerabilities before deployment. Niro integrates into CI/CD pipelines and delivers review-ready pull requests with suggested fixes, providing ongoing coverage for development teams. The second product, Cipher, is a managed assessment service that targets internet-accessible applications. It uses AI reasoning to analyze live applications, uncover verified attack paths, and produce reproducible exploits with verified reports. Cipher is positioned for security teams that require expert-managed offensive assessments. Both products operate under a shared platform, giving engineering and security teams unified visibility into vulnerability findings. The platform uses proprietary AI reasoning to identify and verify exploitable vulnerabilities, with an emphasis on providing evidence-backed findings rather than unverified scan results. Key capabilities include: - Continuous security testing integrated into development workflows - Managed penetration testing assessments for deployed applications - AI-based reasoning to surface vulnerabilities that traditional scanners may miss - Verified proof of exploitability for each finding APX Labs holds a patent-pending designation on its AI offensive security platform technology. The company targets modern engineering and security teams seeking to reduce friction between development velocity and security assurance.
