AI-powered continuous penetration testing for small and midsize businesses
AvalonX is an AI offensive-security startup headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia. Its Artemis platform runs a fleet of autonomous agents that test a company's defenses the way an attacker would, powered by Aether, the company's own security AI, with human penetration testers verifying findings. Customers enter their domain, define the authorised scope and get plain-language results the same day, mapped to SOC 2, ISO/IEC 27001, PCI DSS v4.0 and HIPAA. AvalonX launched publicly in October 2026 after 18 months in stealth, backed by up to $10 million from Ridown Capital.
