Security teams have a short window to find and fix vulnerabilities in applications. Current scanning tools create too many false positives and provide limited information on the location of vulnerabilities resulting in wasted resources, testing cycles and distrust from developers. K2’s agent is deployed in tandem with QA and functional testing activities. K2 provides security observability by detecting the exact location of the vulnerabilities in the code and probes the application to validate that discovered vulnerabilities are exploitable. K2’s Platform helps customers release secure software with faster time to market due to accuracy of detection, proof of exploit and CI/CD integration.
Traditional scanning tools create many false positives resulting in longer debugging cycles and increased security testing time. They do not provide proof of exploit making it difficult to reproduce the vulnerabilities. DAST tools have no visibility inside applications so they cannot provide the location of vulnerable code, making remediation of vulnerabilities very time consuming and laborious.
