Product details side by side
| Decision area | XBOW | Eresus Guard |
|---|---|---|
| Primary workflow | The public product material describes autonomous web and API testing that validates exploitable weaknesses. | Authorized DAST, SAST, SCA, IaC, and secrets assessments use project-scoped triage and evidence review. |
| Assessment context | The public product material describes providing documentation, credentials, API specifications, architecture notes, and attack-surface instructions. | A project defines authorized targets and assessment context before a scan runs; scope and safety remain explicit. |
| Finding proof | The public product material describes exploit evidence and reproduction detail for findings it validates. | Findings keep supporting HTTP Records, OAST Interactions, source locations, and remediation context available for review. |
| Coverage context | The cited product material centers on autonomous offensive testing and attack validation. | Workbench brings dynamic testing together with source, dependency, infrastructure, and secret coverage. |
| Evaluation focus | Teams can evaluate its autonomous web and API testing when exploit validation is a central requirement. | AppSec teams and service providers can evaluate a shared workspace for scans, findings, and evidence. |

Common evaluation questions
Is Eresus Guard an XBOW replacement?
The workflows overlap in web and API testing. XBOW focuses on autonomous testing and exploit validation. Eresus Guard combines authorized assessments with project-based source, dependency, triage, and evidence workflows.
Do both products support web application testing?
Yes, but the workflow is different. XBOW describes autonomous testing of web applications and APIs. Eresus Guard runs authorized application and API assessments as part of a broader project-based AppSec workflow.
