Search every verified Oege de Moor interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Oege de Moor, founder and CEO of XBOW, has recently discussed the role of autonomous AI agents in offensive and defensive cybersecurity across multiple appearances. In September 2026, he participated in a WSJ Leadership Institute panel on redesigning cybersecurity workflows, where he described XBOW's approach to automating security testing and noted that AI-driven defense workflows can now be completed in minutes rather than weeks. He also spoke with theCUBE at the New York Stock Exchange, explaining that XBOW's system performs the work of an offensive security researcher by attacking web applications and reporting vulnerabilities without causing damage. De Moor stated that the company's AI has held the top rank on the HackerOne leaderboard for over a year. In an August 2026 podcast appearance, de Moor said that infrastructure is not safe and that serious cyberattacks are possible with open-weight models, adding that the West is not prepared for current AI-driven threats. He attributed the origin of XBOW to his previous company, where manual exploit crafting by human hackers was needed to determine whether coding errors were exploitable. De Moor also commented on the economics of AI hacking, suggesting that for a given budget, AI models can find more vulnerabilities than traditional methods. He argued against constraining open-weight models, stating that attackers are not controlled by such measures, and emphasized that defenders now have access to the same tools.
How are tech companies creating security tools that keep pace with machine model innovation? Galina Antova, Kai CEO, and Oege de Moor, XBOW Founder and CEO, discuss model sandboxing, the root causes of incidents like the recent Hugging Face hack and what’s next for autonomous security testing.

In this interview from theCUBE + NYSE Wired: Cyber Security Leaders, Oege de Moor, founder and chief executive officer of XBOW, joins theCUBE + NYSE Wired's Gemma Allen to discuss how autonomous AI agents are transforming offensive security testing. De Moor explains how XBOW's agents explore a target's attack surface, build a threat model and systematically test exploits, pivoting like a human researcher when one approach fails. He details how the system safely proves out risks, such as confirming a SQL injection without touching sensitive data, and highlights a case where XBOW found a remote…

On TWiAI, founder Oege de Moor (who also built GitHub Copilot) tells us that no one’s infrastructure is truly safe anymore, now that open-weight models are trailing the American frontier by only a couple of months. Staging a serious cyberattack is now cheap and accessible, with attackers able to get dangerously solid results quickly f…
Oege de Moor, founder and CEO of XBOW, takes the AI Ascent 2026 stage to argue that autonomous AI hackers are already winning. He explains how XBOW's bot became the #1 ranked hacker on HackerOne in August 2025 using only black-box access, how it found a vulnerability in Bing Image Search at a list price of $3,000, and how GPT-5 would have made the same system three times more effective. He closes with a call to action: frontier labs need to maximize the cyber capabilities of their models, defenders need to start using AI offensively to find their own vulnerabilities, and we have roughly six to…
