🎯 Key Differentiators
- Pioneering IAST and RASP technology
- Instrumentation-based approach for high accuracy and low false positives
- Real-time feedback and protection
Unique Value: Provides continuous, accurate application security from within the application itself, enabling teams to secure their code in development and protect it in production without performance trade-offs.
🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
- Embedding security into the application runtime for continuous analysis
- Blocking zero-day attacks in production
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Organizations that only require pre-deployment static code analysis
🏆 Alternatives
Offers a fundamentally different approach to SAST and DAST, providing more accurate results and real-time protection by analyzing the application from the inside.
