Deep Scan Improvements: Faster Execution, Better Decisions, and Incremental Testing
The latest Deep Agentic Scan release introduces faster mobile testing, improved reverse engineering, stronger vulnerability detection, incremental coverage through historical scan processing, improved vulnerability chaining, and managed Cyber Models for mobile and web assessments.
Introducing Mobile Shielding That Can Resist AI Attacks
Ostorlab has launched Mobile Shielding Scan, an automated, AI-powered testing solution designed specifically for shielding detection and validation. It gives security teams streamlined, continuous validation of critical iOS and Android runtime protections, identifying whether security shields are actually present and if they can withstand real-world attacks. This empowers organizations with an automated, scalable, and powerful way to continuously validate RASP tools and mobile self-defense layers across every release.

The App Was Never Opened
Agentic harnesses change what an LLM can do in mobile app security testing. On its own, a model can name likely risks such as insecure storage, exposed secrets, risky permissions, vulnerable SDKs, backend issues, and privacy exposure, but the app may remain untouched. With the right tools, context, memory, prompts, execution loops, and runtime feedback around it, the model can inspect the app package, observe behavior, follow traffic, connect signals, and leave behind evidence a security team can review. From permission analysis to GEF-powered native exploitation, the difference is visible in the trace: app evidence, tool output, runtime proof, and reproducible steps instead of report-shaped text.

Introducing Ostorlab Cyber Models
Ostorlab has launched Cyber Models, a managed, prepaid AI infrastructure tier for Deep Agentic Scans. It gives security teams streamlined access to specialized models like GPT-5.5 Cyber and Opus 4.8 with Cyber Verification Program through approved provider channels. This bypasses the need to manage external API keys, provider rate limits, or fragmented billing dashboards.

There Is No Magic Box: Why AI-Era AppSec Needs a Stack
Walk the floor of any major cybersecurity conference today and you will hear about the promise of autonomous AI-powered platforms. But AI-only testing doesn't scale. A resilient AppSec program requires a cost-aware, tiered stack combining rapid traditional scanners, private semantic reviews, and selective orchestration of frontier models.

Introducing Ostorlab App Vetting for the Agentic Era
Ostorlab has launched App Vetting, a mobile application risk assessment solution that helps teams evaluate Android and iOS apps before approval. It combines static analysis, dynamic testing, and secure sandbox execution with continuous monitoring, weighted risk scoring, and agentic workflows to identify vulnerabilities, privacy risks, malware indicators, telemetry behavior, and trust issues while helping teams prioritize what matters most.

Building an AI PR Reviewer Engineers Actually Trust
We built an AI-powered pull request reviewer, shut it down after hallucinations and false positives eroded developer trust, then rebuilt it with better models, broader context, and a more conservative agent architecture. This article shares what we learned about automated code review, why trust matters more than coverage, and how AI reviewers can help engineering teams reduce repetitive review work without replacing human judgment.

Introducing Ostorlab’s Single Vulnerability Assessment and Dig Deeper
Ostorlab is launching a powerful, highly targeted AI orchestration engine accessible through two distinct UI workflows: Single Vulnerability Assessment (SVA) and Dig Deeper. While both features share the exact same underlying AI logic, capabilities, and "Bring-Your-Own-Key" structure, they are tailored for different entry points in your workflow. SVA is launched as a fresh, standalone scan for targeted, cost-efficient assessments, fix validations, or bug bounty verifications. Dig Deeper is triggered directly from an existing finding within a scan report to instantly investigate false positives or trace exploit paths. Together, they give teams surgical control over how they test and validate individual vulnerabilities.
