Drowning in alerts, but blind to real threats

Traditional application security can't keep up

Relying on traditional security methods involving slow, infrequent scans and manual tasks.

Struggling to keep pace with the high velocity of modern CI/CD pipelines and rapid deployment cycles.

Accumulating unseen security gaps and vulnerabilities with every new code deployment.

Increased volume of AI-generated code

Challenged with the increasing volume of AI-generated code that overwhelms traditional, point-in-time testing methods such as SAST and DAST.

Missing the critical runtime context needed to find real vulnerabilities in a dynamic, AI-powered development environment.

Deploying applications with hidden weaknesses that are only discoverable through runtime context, leaving them vulnerable in production.

Security practices struggle with efficiency

Overwhelmed by a high volume of false positives generated by existing security tools, which diverts valuable resources and delays the remediation of genuine threats.

Struggling with the limitations of penetration testing and other point-in-time security assessments that are not aligned with modern development.

Facing significant bottlenecks because of delayed security feedback, making remediation more costly and time-consuming.

Application and API security that keeps pace with high-velocity development


  • Detect vulnerabilities at run-time in pre-production and in production: Traditional AppSec methods focus on finding vulnerabilities before deployment, but runtime security can detect and prevent exploits against vulnerabilities in production, including zero-day vulnerabilities.
  • Visibility into actual attack behavior: Runtime application security operates within the live application, offering real-time visibility into actual attack behavior, which enables smarter vulnerability prioritization and immediate compensating controls.
  • Essential safety net: When a vulnerability is identified, deploying a patch can take time, especially in complex systems with strict release schedules or regulatory constraints.Runtime application security can apply compensating controls even before a permanent fix is deployed.
  • Continuous protection throughout the SDLC: Runtime application security provides continuous security observability, embedding security into applications to protect them from threats during all stages of their lifecycle, including development, testing and production.
