How Superhuman uses XBOW

As published on xbow.com, August 2026. Captured by usedby on Oct 7, 2026.

What happened

Superhuman runs XBOW continuously against its applications to test the security of each release as code ships, including features about to launch. XBOW chains vulnerabilities into attack paths with proof of concept, which helps the team prioritize fixes alongside its existing scanners.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of XBOW and Superhuman, not ours.

Superhuman runs XBOW continuously against its applications, so the security team has an answer ready whenever a release is moving. When an engineering team tells Giles a feature is shipping in a few days and asks him to make sure it is safe, six months of notice is not on the table.

A bug bounty finding gets fixed fast because it comes verified, with proof and evidence. XBOW gives us that same value chain on our own terms, without waiting on a researcher or an alert in the middle of the night.

Scanners find plenty of potential issues, but they don't chain findings into an attack path. XBOW tells us which handful of fixes actually break the chain, so those go first.
