HAX

See your attack surface the way an attacker does.

HAX is an AI-assisted attack surface management and dark web monitoring platform, built in South Africa by XContent. It finds the systems you expose to the internet, watches criminal forums and marketplaces for your leaked credentials, and tells your team what to fix first. Our own red team uses it on every engagement.

What HAX does

External attack surface, dark web exposure and remediation in one place.

External attack surface discovery

Continuously maps the systems you expose to the internet, including the ones nobody told IT about, and flags anything new or newly exposed.

Dark web and leaked credential monitoring

Watches criminal forums and marketplaces for your staff credentials and mentions of your organisation, using threat intelligence from Flare, embedded in HAX.

Risk-based remediation

AI ranks every finding by real-world risk, so your team closes the exposures an attacker is most likely to use, not just the longest list.

Group and subsidiary coverage

One platform for a holding company and every subsidiary, with separate reporting for each entity.

Dark web intelligence powered by

Flare

An OEM partnership, the first in Southern Africa, with Flare embedded in the HAX platform.

HAX questions

Attack surface and dark web monitoring, explained.

What is attack surface management?

It is the continuous discovery and monitoring of everything your organisation exposes to the internet. Attackers start by mapping what they can reach. Attack surface management shows you the same picture first, and HAX keeps it current as your environment changes.

What does dark web monitoring find?

Leaked usernames and passwords belonging to your staff, and mentions of your organisation on criminal forums and marketplaces. HAX gets this intelligence from Flare, which we embed in the platform through an OEM partnership, the first of its kind in Southern Africa.

How is HAX different from a vulnerability scanner?

A scanner checks the systems you point it at. HAX starts from the outside: it finds what you expose, including systems you did not know about, adds your dark web exposure, and ranks everything by real-world risk.

Does HAX help with POPIA?

POPIA requires reasonable technical measures to protect personal information, and notification when it is compromised. Exposed systems and leaked credentials are common ways in. HAX helps you find both early. It supports those obligations; it does not replace a compliance programme.

Can HAX cover a group of companies?

Yes. HAX covers a holding company and its subsidiaries from one platform, with separate reporting for each entity.

Who uses HAX?

Security and IT teams in South African organisations, and our XContent Red consultants on every engagement.
