Value proposition

Gives security teams continuous participation across design, implementation, and deployment—customers report ~15-minute design reviews, 4–5x security-team capacity, and up to ~90% fewer false positives vs traditional AppSec, while covering human and AI-driven development

Products and solutions

Autonomous Design Reviews - Autonomous security design review (before the code), AI Security Code Reviews - PR reviews for human- and agent-written code, Coding Guardrails for Agents - Embed security policies into AI coding workflows, Supply Chain Security - Dependency/architecture risk tracing, Continuous White Box Pentesting - Ongoing attack-path validation after code

Unique value

Unified agentic product security across the full lifecycle (before/in/after code): one architectural context powers autonomous design reviews, AI PR reviews, agent coding guardrails, supply-chain risk tracing, and continuous white-box attack-path validation inside existing engineering workflows

Target customer

Mid-to-large enterprises with 200+ developers, particularly in financial services, SaaS, and regulated industries requiring secure-by-design practices

Industries served

Financial Services, Enterprise SaaS, Consumer Technology, Healthcare/Regulated Industries, Infrastructure/Data Technology

Technology advantage

Shared product/architecture context across the lifecycle: design intent informs PR gates and agent guardrails, then continuous white-box attack-path validation on the live system—reducing noise vs file-level scanners and enabling closed-loop remediation

How they differentiate

Single product-context agentic platform spanning design through continuous white-box validation—not point scanners—so security participates as architecture, code, and cloud decisions are made in AI-accelerated development
