How Artisan shifted from reactive to proactive security as Ava opened to self serve
CodeAnt went deeper than any penetration test we've ever commissioned. The most thorough offensive security platform we've used

CTO, 11x (Series B, $75M+ Raised)
11x builds AI digital workers for the world's largest go to market teams. Their customers are enterprise revenue organizations.
CHALLENGE
The agent has production access. So does anyone holding its credentials.
11x sits on top of hundreds of millions of B2B contact records, connected CRMs, mailboxes, phone infrastructure, and messaging channels. When your product is an autonomous agent acting on a customer's behalf, a single leaked credential does not expose a record. It exposes the customer's entire pipeline.
WHY CODEANT
They wanted the loop closed between
offense and defense.
11x asked for a cybersecurity program, not a report. Offensive and defensive security in one platform, with every AI agent they run attacked continuously, and everything that attack finds turned straight into a code level fix and a permanent defensive rule. So the same class of issue cannot ship twice.
On the offensive side, three things a point in time test structurally cannot deliver:
Attack surface management. A live map of everything 11x actually exposes, not a list frozen on day one.
Shadow IT discovery. The staging environments, forgotten subdomains, and internal tools that ship faster than the security review does.
Credential and session token exposure. If a session token or a set of test credentials ever leaks into a JS bundle, a public repo, or a source map, they want to know where it is and act on it the same day.
What we ran
The same engine that runs the attacks sits in the pull request. What the offensive side proves is exploitable becomes the rule the defensive side enforces before the next release ships.
