See how AI shows its work and explains its security analysis
Traditional AI security tools act like a "black box"—they tell you something is dangerous but don't explain why. Explainable AI (XAI) shows its reasoning process, helping you understand, verify, and learn from its analysis.
This transparency is crucial for building appropriate trust. When you understand why AI flagged something, you can judge whether its reasoning makes sense and spot cases where you have important context the AI doesn't.
