Seeker: Continuous Security for Modern Applications
In today’s fast-paced development environment, ensuring the security of your applications is paramount. Seeker, an interactive application security testing (IAST) solution, provides unparalleled visibility into your web app security posture. Unlike other IAST solutions, Seeker not only identifies vulnerabilities but also actively verifies their exploitability. This active verification process helps to reduce false positives, ensuring that developers can prioritise remediation efforts by focusing on genuine threats. Consequently, this minimises business risk and enhances overall security posture.
Seeker integrates seamlessly into existing DevOps workflows, supporting continuous application security testing within CI/CD pipelines. Furthermore, its agent-based instrumentation works across various application environments, including on-premises, cloud-based, and microservices. This flexibility makes Seeker an ideal solution for organisations embracing modern development practices and deploying applications across diverse infrastructures.
One of Seeker’s key strengths is its ability to provide actionable insights. Detailed vulnerability descriptions, stack trace information, and context-based remediation advice empower developers to quickly understand and address security issues. Moreover, Seeker tracks sensitive data, ensuring compliance with industry standards such as PCI DSS and GDPR. This feature is particularly valuable for organisations handling sensitive user information and subject to strict regulatory requirements.
For microservices-based applications, Seeker offers comprehensive analysis, tracking data flows between components and APIs. This approach provides a holistic view of the application’s security posture, identifying vulnerabilities that traditional testing methods may miss. By analysing the flow of data between microservices, Seeker can pinpoint security weaknesses that span multiple components.
Seeker interactive application security testing (IAST) also integrates with Black Duck Binary Analysis, a software composition analysis (SCA) solution. This integration enables developers to identify vulnerabilities in third-party and open-source components, providing a unified view of application security risks. With its comprehensive features, ease of use, and support for modern development practices, Seeker empowers organisations to build and deliver secure software at the speed of innovation.
