Start Left™ Security's Risk-Based Vulnerability Management Use Case:

Product-Centric Secure Code & CI/CD Pipelines

Streamline vulnerability management and contextual insights with Start Left™'s PIRATE™ Risk Model, the industry's first "Product Integrated Risk Analytics & Threat Evaluation" integration methodology. PIRATE™ automates product-centric views of teams and their specific vulnerabilities, enabling efficient prioritization and targeted remediation. Enhance collaboration and get faster security.

The Challenge of Vulnerability Management Without Context.

Vulnerability management poses a significant challenge in ensuring robust application security postures. The lack of context, such as the product, CI/CD pipeline, dynamic SBOMs, and developer team members involved, hinders the effective identification and remediation of vulnerabilities.


Without product context, vulnerability management efforts are fragmented and disconnected. Security struggles to prioritize risks based on their potential impact, leading to inefficient resource allocation and delayed remediation. Moreover, without understanding the specific compensating controls and development practices, it becomes difficult to tailor mitigation and engage with developers, product owners, or operations, resulting in delayed response times. This fragmented approach increases risk sand decreases the overall effectiveness of security.

Challenges Solved

Integrated security into contextual CI/CD pipelines

For DevSecOps risk governance and vulnerability management performance monitoring, integrate surveillance and discovery into every CI/CD pipeline.

Mapped security issues to specific teams

Get a handle on defects, drifts, risky changes, rogue development activities, controls, secrets, vulnerabilities, and configuration issues.

Contextualized product risks and threats

Integrate security analytics, behavior analytics, and compliance checks from code, people, processes, applications, and cloud platforms into every product team.

Vulnerability Management Solved with Start Left™ Security

Enhance collaboration and secure your cloud product postures with PIRATE™. Harness the power of automation and correlation of inline scanning for SCA, dynamic SBOM, application security testing tools, cloud scanning tools, and more. Gain a comprehensive understanding of threats, breach likelihood, and attack impact. Empower your Development, CloudOps, SecOps, and GRC teams for effective vulnerability risk management. Elevate Your AppSec with Start Left™ Security's PIRATE™ Risk Model.

SCA and Dynamic SBOM

Team Security Baselines

Deploy analytics where the PIRATE™ Risk Model learns each team's developers, tools used, controls configurations, source of code, and CI/CD integrity to flag risky changes of the trusted baseline for review & verification.

Build Process Hardening

Further operationalizing the Team Security Baselines and Dynamic SBOM capabilities via the PIRATE™ Risk Model, Start Left™ identifies potentially malicious code modifications and access to repos that may be insider threat.

AST Automation

Achieve comprehensive AST coverage from Day 1 with Start Left™'s out-of-the-box tools. Discover and eliminate tool coverage gaps for orchestration and automation. Get the full picture with automatic correlation of all vulnerability findings from all scanners.

Workflow Orchestration

Foster tighter collaboration between SecOps, DevOps, Engineering, & GRC with security workflow orchestration into the tools you already use like JIRA, Azure, ServiceNow, and more to speed response and track issues.

Intelligent Prioritization

Remove headaches of manual analysis and make it easy for your teams to take smart actions. With Start Left™, automate a special way to prioritize risks. It's called SHERPA™ (Shared Embedded Risk Prioritization Analytics). The first in the industry.

Continuous Assurance

Automate team-based analytical remediation verification: source code commits (Jenkins) to version control repository (GitHub) correlated to work item tracking (JIRA) with proprietary scanning to validate code fixes.
