CyberXero

CyberXero is an AI-driven penetration testing tool, which means it uses artificial intelligence to automatically probe computer systems for security weaknesses that attackers could exploit. Organizations sometimes use tools like this to test their own defenses, but the same capability can be turned against third-party systems, raising questions about authorized use and liability. For compliance and risk teams, the key concern is whether the company's security testing vendors and internal staff are using such tools under clear written authorization and within the scope of applicable data protection and computer misuse laws.
