Introduction to APX

Learn what APX is and how Cipher finds the vulnerabilities that scanners miss

overview introduction

What is APX?

APX is an AI pentesting platform. Our agent, Cipher, reasons like an attacker β€” it maps the target, defines what should hold, attacks in parallel, and verifies every finding with reproducible exploits.

How It Works

  1. You provide the target β€” a URL, API spec, or credentials
  2. Cipher runs the assessment β€” reconnaissance, attack, and adversarial verification
  3. You get the results β€” verified exploits, a compliance-ready report, and a full audit trail

What You Get

  • Reproducible exploits β€” Python scripts, not PDF risk scores
  • Compliance-ready report β€” mapped to OWASP API Top 10, OWASP Top 10, MASVS, and PTES
  • Full audit trail β€” every test passed, failed, and blocked
  • Documented assumptions β€” review and correct Cipher’s business logic inferences
  • Unlimited retesting β€” verify your fixes within the assessment window

Who is APX for?

  • Developers β€” find what security will find, before they do
  • Security teams β€” cover more apps in hours, not weeks
  • Compliance teams β€” get audit-ready evidence with reproducible proof
