Autonomous application security

market profile

  • text: AI-assisted software delivery creates a need for security reviews that keep pace with frequent code changes.
  • text: The product spans self-serve developer security and enterprise infrastructure deployments.

personas

  • title: Head of Application Security
    pains:
    • Manual review capacity cannot match pull request volume
    • False positives and unprioritized findings consume scarce security time
  • title: Engineering lead at an AI-native startup
    pains:
    • Agents ship code faster than the team can review it
    • Developers need actionable fixes without hiring a full security team
  • title: CISO at a critical infrastructure operator
    pains:
    • Sensitive systems may require infrastructure control and auditability
    • Unverified exposure across dependencies and lower-level systems is hard to prioritize

icp

  • text: Developer-led startups and growing teams shipping code through repositories, especially teams using coding agents.
  • text: Enterprises and critical infrastructure operators requiring own-cloud or air-gapped security testing and audit logs.

message pillars

  • text: Pair vulnerability discovery with actionable fixes.
  • text: Make the security harness inspectable and open to contribution.
  • text: Make costs observable and proportional to use.

objections

  • objection: How can we trust an AI security black box?
    response: Review the open-source harness and public disclosures, then evaluate verified findings on a limited repository.
  • objection: Our code cannot leave our controlled environment.
    response: Discuss the enterprise own-cloud or air-gapped deployment option and verify its security requirements.
  • objection: Will usage costs grow unpredictably?
    response: The pricing page describes prepaid credits, visible charges and a per-PR price; scope a pilot before committing.
