HackerOne - Experts & Thought Leaders

HackerOne, a pioneer in offensive security solutions, announces the evolution of HackerOne AI, Hai, from a copilot into an agentic AI system, and the general availability of its AI-native code security product, HackerOne Code. Together, they set a new standard in continuous exposure management by accelerating how enterprises find, prioritise, and remediate vulnerabilities. Hai is HackerOne’s coordinated team of AI agents that continuously analyses and contextualises findings to help organizations prioritise, validate, and remediate risks faster, guided by insights from over 500,000 validated vulnerabilities. 70% of users cite time savings as the biggest impact, with users saving up to 40+ hours every month, a full work week. Remediating risks faster Hai’s current agents are reshaping workflows: Priority Escalation Agent uncovers critical risks without delay Deduplication Agent eliminates duplicates and reduces noise Report Assistant Agent ensures complete, consistent reports Insight Agent surfaces historical context to accelerate validation “Hai cut our validation time from 20 minutes to just 5," said Connor Knabe, Application Security Architect, Veterans United Home Loans. "By replacing manual steps with clear context, we validate faster, clarify impact, and stay aligned.” Code security solution To solve the challenge of discovering and eliminating vulnerabilities before applications are deployed, HackerOne Code is now generally available. Built for the AI development era, HackerOne Code is a code security solution that works like a developer and thinks like a security researcher—scaling vulnerability discovery with AI and human oversight. HackerOne is also previewing the next milestone in its agentic roadmap: Agentic Pentest as a Service (PtaaS). Taking validation a step further, Agentic PtaaS continuously proves exploitability at AI-driven scale while keeping human ingenuity at the core. This breakthrough extends exposure management into adversarial validation, delivering real proof of exploitation so organizations can prioritise and remediate with greater confidence. AI-powered offensive security “Hai has been central to our vision for AI-powered offensive security, and today marks the next stage in its evolution,” said Nidhi Aggarwal, Chief Product Officer at HackerOne. “Powered by the insights drawn from over a decade of offensive security expertise, Hai’s new agents and the introduction of Agentic PtaaS extends its capabilities from validation to proof of exploitability, helping organizations continuously reduce exposure and accelerate remediation at scale. In the AI era, secure development must be built in, not bolted on. HackerOne Code empowers developers with validated, trusted code fixes directly within their workflows, enabling them to innovate faster without increasing risk.”

HackerOne, a pioneering provider of offensive security solutions, announces the availability of its security agent Hai in the new AI Agents and Tools category of AWS Marketplace. Customers can now use AWS Marketplace to easily discover, buy, and deploy AI agent solutions, including HackerOne’s AI security agent Hai, using their AWS accounts, accelerating AI agent and agentic workflow development. Resolution across SDLC Hai helps security teams reduce validation time by up to 75%, improve consistency in severity scoring Hai helps security teams reduce validation time by up to 75%, improve consistency in severity scoring, and streamline communication between security, engineering, and development teams. This results in faster, more aligned vulnerability resolution across the software development lifecycle (SDLC). Access to agentic AI solutions "By offering Hai in AWS Marketplace, we're providing customers with a streamlined path to discover and adopt our security agent, enabling faster, more efficient access to agentic AI solutions," said Nidhi Aggarwal, Chief Product Officer at HackerOne. "Our customers in a broad range of industries are already using these capabilities to accelerate remediation, improve decision-making, and strengthen their overall security posture." Intelligent report analysis Hai delivers essential capabilities including intelligent report analysis, program-wide trend detection, and integrated workflow automation. These features enable customers to make smarter decisions, act faster, and strengthen their security posture while cutting coordination time with security and development teams by 20–30%.  Availability of AI Agents and Tools With the availability of AI Agents and Tools in AWS Marketplace, customers can significantly accelerate By surfacing relevant insights, such as report summaries, similar past submissions, and suggested severity, Hai reduces back-and-forth and accelerates action. With the availability of AI Agents and Tools in AWS Marketplace, customers can significantly accelerate their procurement process to drive AI innovation, reducing the time needed for vendor evaluations and complex negotiations. HackerOne's strict security and access controls With centralized purchasing using AWS accounts, customers maintain visibility and control over licensing, payments, and access through AWS. Available as a native capability within the HackerOne Platform, Hai uses pre-trained large language models through AWS Bedrock while operating within HackerOne's strict security and access controls. This enables customers to access AI-driven insights securely without compromising their data, systems, or privacy.

HackerOne, a pioneer in offensive security solutions, announced the appointment of Nidhi Aggarwal as Chief Product Officer (CPO) and member of the executive leadership team. Aggarwal will lead the execution of HackerOne's platform vision and product strategy, unifying the company’s product portfolio around a more integrated, AI-powered experience that seamlessly scales human security expertise through AI agents to not just find but remediate vulnerabilities. HackerOne’s product evolution Aggarwal’s appointment comes at a pivotal moment in HackerOne’s product evolution Aggarwal’s appointment comes at a pivotal moment in HackerOne’s product evolution. Over the past few months, the company released several significant innovations, including new features with Hai, HackerOne’s AI security agent first introduced in February 2024.  These new capabilities — Hai Program Insights, Benchmarks, Recommendations, and Findings — help customers prioritize and act on vulnerabilities more effectively. HackerOne's new Hai Play HackerOne also introduced a new Hai Play, which automatically calculates Return on Mitigation (RoM) based on an organization’s unique vulnerability data and context.  Additionally, HackerOne is expanding its platform ecosystem by adding integrations with ServiceNow, Secure Code Warrior, and GitLab, as well as enterprise-grade functionality through automations.  Prior roles of Aggarwal Aggarwal brings over 15 years of experience driving growth and innovation at companies A seasoned technology entrepreneur and product pioneer, Aggarwal brings over 15 years of experience driving growth and innovation at companies ranging from early-stage startups to global enterprises.  She co-founded Qwiklabs, a cloud configuration platform acquired by Google, and held executive leadership positions at Tamr, an AI + human-in-the-loop master data management platform where she led product and marketing. She also previously worked at Wellington, Hewlett-Packard Labs, VMware, and McKinsey & Company. She holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science and serves on the Board of Visitors for the Computer Science department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, which honored her with an Early Career Achievement Award.
