AIThreatBook says it has acquired CyberStrikeAI, an open-source AI pentesting agent.

AISafeWorld emerged from stealth this week with $12.2 million in seed funding to offer simulation software for testing AI-powered robots. Its platform runs robots through thousands of variations of rare or dangerous scenarios with reactive human motion, and teams can rerun tests with each software update. The company says it has about half a dozen customers, mostly publicly traded companies, in industrial, manufacturing, logistics, construction and some home use cases.
