Launch HN: MindFort (YC X25) – AI agents for continuous pentesting
Hey HN! We're Brandon, Sam, and Akul from MindFort ( https://mindfort.ai ). We're building autonomous AI agents that continuously find, validate, and patch security vulnerabilities in web applications—essentially creating an AI red team that runs 24/7. Here's a demo: https://www.loom.com/share/e56faa07d90b417db09bb4454dce8d5a Security testing today is increasingly challenging. Traditional scanners generate 30-50% false positives, drowning engineering teams in noise. Manual penetration testing happens quarterly at best, costs tens of thousands per assessment, and takes weeks to complete. Meanwhile, teams are shipping code faster than ever with AI assistance, but security reviews have become an even bigger bottleneck. All three of us encountered this problem from different angles.
