AvalonX is a continuous, AI-powered penetration testing platform built for small and midsize businesses that cannot afford an enterprise security team. It emerged from 18 months in stealth on October 28, 2026, and is available now, according to its launch announcement. This post is based on its official website, checked on October 29, 2026.
What AvalonX does
Most smaller organizations test once a year, if they can afford it, while attackers do not wait eleven months. AvalonX tests a business the way an attacker would, continuously and on demand, so new vulnerabilities do not sit unnoticed between annual tests.
The Artemis platform orchestrates a fleet of autonomous offensive-security agents, each specializing in a different stage of an attack, from reconnaissance and enumeration to exploitation, lateral movement, and reporting. The agents are powered by Aether, AvalonX’s own 400 billion-parameter security AI, trained on nine years of real-world offensive-security data and backed by 60 billion dark-web records. Aether connects individual weaknesses into full attack paths, showing how an attacker could actually compromise a business.
Human verification and compliance
AI discovers, and humans verify. When expert judgment is needed, Artemis escalates to human penetration testers, so customers get confirmed findings rather than raw output to triage. Testing completes in hours, with actionable findings delivered the same day, and a business can run another test whenever it wants.
AvalonX maps findings to the controls and requirements of recognized frameworks, with evidence for SOC 2 Type II, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, PCI DSS v4.0, and HIPAA. Every customer also gets the AAA mark to display on its site, in proposals, and in security questionnaires, linking to a live page showing when the business was last tested and what was in scope.
Who it is for
AvalonX is built for small and midsize businesses without a security team: accounting firms, regional manufacturers, professional services, and any company that faces the same threats as large enterprises with a fraction of the resources. It also suits businesses that need audit-ready testing evidence without weeks of scoping calls.
Pricing
AvalonX offers a free initial test, and the platform is sold as a monthly subscription designed to make enterprise-grade testing affordable for smaller businesses. The official website does not publish a subscription price at the time of checking. Prices may change, so check the official website for the latest pricing: https://www.avalonx.ai/.
