Compare
Where RedMaw fits, and where it does not.
RedMaw sits in the adversarial-validation category. These pages explain the distinction honestly, including the cases where a scanner or a human tester is the better tool.
RedMaw does not replace vulnerability scanning or human red teams. Claiming otherwise would make a security program weaker, not stronger.
RedMaw vs Vulnerability scanners
Keep the scanner. Add an adversary.
A scanner asks what weaknesses can be detected. RedMaw asks what an attacker can actually do. Coverage and adversarial validation are different jobs, and a finding does not need a CVE to matter.

Complementary. Different cadence.
A strong human tester brings creativity and business context a standardized loop will not produce. The gap is cadence: a report describes one date, and the environment keeps changing.

The closest category comparison.
Same premise: findings are not enough, exposure has to be tested. The distinction is how RedMaw defines the surface, the finding and the remediation loop.

Including us. These separate a validation platform from a detection tool far better than a feature matrix does.
- Which attack surfaces are first-class?
- Is exploitability proven or inferred?
- What evidence is preserved, and can an engineer reproduce it?
- How are recurring findings correlated across runs?
- What happens after a ticket is marked fixed?
- Can AI systems be tested in the same security program?
- Which capabilities are available today?
