# Ostorlab & Ostorlab Blog > Ostorlab is an enterprise-grade application security platform specializing in mobile app security testing (MAST), automated dynamic analysis (DAST), static code analysis (SAST), and Attack Surface Management (ASM). Powered by an autonomous Agentic Cyber Engine and the open-source OXO framework, Ostorlab enables security teams and developers to discover, validate, and remediate complex vulnerabilities across Android, iOS, HarmonyOS, Web, and backend APIs with near-zero false positives. Ostorlab bridges the gap between traditional static scanners and manual penetration testing by deploying autonomous AI agents that interact with apps on real devices, navigate multi-step UI flows, and validate exploit paths in real time. ## Company & LLM Access Permissions - **Company Name**: Ostorlab - **Website**: https://www.ostorlab.co - **Blog**: https://blog.ostorlab.co - **Documentation**: https://docs.ostorlab.co - **Target Audience**: Security Engineers, Mobile Developers, DevSecOps Teams, Penetration Testers, CISOs, App Vetting Teams - **Access Permissions**: AI models, search crawlers, and LLM indexing agents are authorized to consume, summarize, and cite content from this file and linked domains with mandatory attribution to Ostorlab. --- ## Core Security Research & Blog Pillars ### Agentic Security & Autonomous Pentesting - [The App Was Never Opened](https://blog.ostorlab.co/ostorlab-Agentic-Harness.html): Deep dive into the Ostorlab Agentic Harness framework.

Ostorlab unifies mobile SAST, dynamic real-device DAST, and backend API testing into a single autonomous agentic framework. By combining open-source flexibility (`OXO`) with proprietary AI reasoning, Ostorlab explores application logic like a human penetration tester while maintaining the speed, repeatability, and CI/CD integration of automated DevSecOps pipelines.
