XBOW Expands Penetration Testing Capabilities Across Microsoft Security Ecosystem
Xbow announced expanded penetration testing capabilities designed to integrate with the Microsoft security ecosystem, including tools such as Microsoft Security Copilot and Microsoft Sentinel. The platform is designed to automate aspects of penetration testing, allowing organizations to continuously identify vulnerabilities across cloud environments and enterprise applications. By integrating with Microsoft’s security tools, XBOW aims to provide visibility into potential attack paths and security gaps within Microsoft-based deployments. The integration provides a continuous feedback loop, closing the longstanding gap between AppSec and SecOps. Teams can now initiate and manage XBOW assessments into Microsoft Security Copilot, with findings flowing into the Microsoft Sentinel data lake.
XBOW focuses on combining automated testing with security workflows to help organizations detect weaknesses before they can be exploited. The integration is intended to align penetration testing results with existing security monitoring and response systems. Organizations are increasingly adopting continuous security testing as attack surfaces expand across cloud and hybrid environments. Public preview includes a comprehensive set of components including XBOW Pentest Manager Agent, Sentinel Connector and Pentest Analysis Agent.
