Start Left® Security - Product-Centric VM

Start Left® Security's Product-Centric Vulnerability Management Platform is a risk-based vulnerability management solution built around the concept of product-centric context. It maps vulnerabilities to specific development teams, CI/CD pipelines, and product owners rather than treating them in isolation.

The platform is built on a patented risk model called PIRATE® (Product Integrated Risk Analytics & Threat Evaluation), which automates product-centric views of developer-specific vulnerabilities and enables targeted prioritization and remediation.

Core capabilities include:

• Team Security Baselines: The PIRATE® Risk Model learns each team's developers, tools, controls configurations, source code origins, and CI/CD pipeline integrity to flag deviations for review.
• Build Process Hardening: Identifies potentially malicious code modifications and unauthorized repository access, including insider threat indicators.
• AST Automation: Provides out-of-the-box application security testing coverage with automatic correlation of vulnerability findings across all scanners.
• Intelligent Prioritization: Uses a proprietary method called SHERPA™ (Shared Embedded Risk Prioritization Analytics) to automate risk prioritization.
• Workflow Orchestration: Connects SecOps, DevOps, Engineering, and GRC teams through integrations with existing tools.
• Continuous Assurance: Automates team-based remediation verification by correlating source code commits, version control, and work item tracking.
• Dynamic SBOM generation and SCA inline scanning support.

The platform targets DevSecOps, AppSec, CloudOps, SecOps, and GRC teams. It is protected under US Patents 11,080,162 and 11,288,167.
