Agentic Index

Equixly vs Ghost Security (2026)

Equixly and Ghost Security both sell security agents, for different ends of the problem. That verdict is the Agentic Index coverage score, graded from each vendor's own published materials.

Equixly is offensive: its Agentic AI Hacker pentests APIs and web applications continuously on Equixly's own model and reruns on each release. Ghost is defensive: agents for incident response, phishing, business email compromise, and identity and cloud key compromise run on premises, in a private cloud or air gapped, with each agent set to Notify, In the Loop or Above the Loop and every reasoning step logged. Ghost is delivered with forward deployed engineers, and its open source tools are free. On the grid Ghost is Full on its API, deployment, human oversight, model choice and prebuilt agents where Equixly is Partial or None. Choose Equixly to test your APIs before attackers do; choose Ghost to respond when they get in.

On the Agentic Index AI SOC ranking, Ghost Security clears the bar and Equixly does not. Ghost Security documents all five investigation loop capabilities in full; Equixly does not document human oversight and guardrails in full. 23 of the 85 vendors in the lane clear it. See the AI SOC ranking
