Staris is an AI-powered application security validation platform that automates the process of identifying and confirming exploitable vulnerabilities in running applications. How it works: - Ingests documentation, policies, and source code to build context around an application's business logic - Applies SAST, DAST, and additional techniques to discover vulnerabilities specific to the application's context - Validates findings by proving exploitability, eliminating false positives from traditional scanners - Provides code-level fix recommendations and steps to reproduce each confirmed vulnerability Key capabilities: - Reduces security validation time from ~40 hours to ~4 hours compared to manual pentesting - Operates as a continuous monitoring system, adapting to new threats and exploring codebases for zero-days and novel bugs - Uses whitebox testing with full context rather than opaque black-box approaches - Enables applications to "self-heal" through automated, code-level remediation guidance - Reports only confirmed, exploitable vulnerabilities with evidence and reproduction steps Target users: - Engineering and security teams that need to reduce false positives and prioritize real threats - Organizations looking to replace or augment manual penetration testing workflows Staris positions itself as a continuous AppSec validation system rather than a one-time scanner, combining detection, proof of exploitability, and remediation in a single workflow.
