Introducing Hacktron Whitebox: get white-box security assessments with audit-ready reports without waiting on a traditional pentest cycle. AI has roughly tripled the rate of code shipped in the past year. But penetration testing has not kept pace, often taking weeks to months.
Whitebox compresses the traditional pentest cycle with AI-assisted security assessment. Because it works with source-code context, it can reason about the areas black-box testing often misses: business logic, auth boundaries, payment flows, and other complex vulnerabilities.
We also want to be clear: automated security testing still produces false positives. That's why every Hacktron Whitebox assessment is human-reviewed. Our team of world-class pentesters validates findings and confirms severity, so that reports are actually useful to engineers.
The outcome: a faster, more cost-effective security assessment that does not compromise on quality. This is not just checkbox compliance. Hacktron Whitebox helps teams generate evidence for SOC 2 and ISO 27001, while giving engineers valuable, actionable findings they can fix.
Context
Hacktron AI introduced Hacktron Whitebox, a security assessment product meant to replace the wait for a traditional penetration test with an AI-assisted review that still produces an audit-ready report. Hacktron frames the need around a widening gap: it says AI has roughly tripled the rate of code shipped in the past year, while penetration testing, often taking weeks to months per engagement, has not kept pace. Whitebox works with the actual source code rather than testing an application from the outside, which Hacktron says lets it reason about problems black-box testing tends to miss, such as business logic, authentication boundaries, and payment flows. The company is explicit that automated testing alone still produces false positives, so every Whitebox assessment is reviewed by a human pentester who validates findings and confirms severity before a report reaches the client; Hacktron positions the resulting reports as usable evidence for SOC 2 and ISO 27001 audits.
