Hex Security is a Y Combinator (W26) security startup building autonomous AI agents that perform continuous penetration testing against web applications, APIs, and infrastructure. Instead of point-in-time annual pentests, Hex's agents probe systems around the clock — chaining exploits together, validating each finding with a working proof-of-concept, and delivering triaged, reproducible results with no false positives. The product surfaces high-severity issues such as SQL injection, broken access control / IDOR, authentication bypass, and unauthenticated remote code execution. Founded by Ahmad Khan, Huzaifa Ahmad, and Prama Yudhistira. As of this profile Hex Security is pre-public-API: it operates a marketing site (hex.co) and a product application (app.hex.co) but does not yet publish a developer portal, OpenAPI definition, or public API surface.
