DARPA taps Xint to use AI for securing military messaging apps

DARPA selected Xint, a startup spun out of Theori, to research autonomous AI application security for messaging apps used across the Department of War. Xint analyzes source code and compiled binaries, triages vulnerabilities and generates patches; it was one of three winners of DARPA's $29.5 million AIxCC competition.

• Xint was selected after winning DARPA's $29.5 million AIxCC competition
• The service analyzes source code and binaries, including the Linux kernel in Android
• AI detects vulnerabilities, triages them by attacker accessibility and generates patches
• Offered as SaaS, with on-premises deployment still in development
