What is Strix?
Strix is an open-source AI penetration-testing tool: autonomous agents that act like real attackers, run your code dynamically, find vulnerabilities and validate them with actual proofs of concept.
It integrates with GitHub Actions and CI/CD pipelines so it can scan every pull request and block insecure code before it reaches production. A cloud offering sits alongside the open-source project.
