XM Cyber Models Attack Paths. Guard Validates Them.

XM Cyber's attack graph is a powerful modeling layer — they show you what could happen. Guard shows you what actually broke: bounded AI agents execute real exploits across every surface, and top 1% OffSec operators validate every finding. Demonstrated beats theoretical.

XM Cyber's Infrastructure Focus. Guard's Full-Surface Offense.

XM Cyber is strong on infrastructure and identity attack paths. Guard extends to web application zero-days, API exploitation, CICD pipeline attacks, LLM attack surfaces, cloud-native attacks, and supply chain — with elite human validation across the entire kill chain.

XM Cyber Models Risk. Guard Eliminates It.

XM Cyber prioritizes modeled risk. Guard demonstrates actual risk, cuts the ticket, verifies the fix, and autonomously retests — with EDR-integrated detection gap analysis so offense informs defense.
