Developer-Native Security Workflows for Secure Coding

Automate as much of the security effort as possible, making secure coding easy. Empower your developers by embedding security into developer-native security workflows in the tools they already use, minimizing disruptions and streamlining risk mitigation.

Common Application Security Challenges for Developers

Security Alert Fatigue

Traditional security scanners don’t account for your unique business context or filter findings by reachability, exploitability, and fixability. Even worse, they don’t make the fix easy, resulting in ever-growing security backlogs.

Developer Disruption

Delivering security findings weeks or months after they’ve been introduced results in context switching and re-work for developers. Lack of clear ownership results in disruptive triage and exhaustive finding investigation effort.

The Developer-Security Tug-of-War

Sending findings to the places that developers do not want to be – namely, in yet-another-security-tool – puts gum in the gears of developer-security collaboration leaving developers annoyed and security issues unaddressed.

Make It Easy for Developers to Push Secure Code

Empower Developers with Real-Time Security Collaboration

Arnica’s robust ChatOps engine engages developers directly where they work with timely and effective mitigations.

Automate Security Issue Management

Arnica builds thoughtful automations throughout the software development lifecycle to minimize operational burden and make secure development easier.

Enhance Pull Request Workflows with Security Insights

Streamline the developer experience by integrating security into existing pull request workflows. Deliver full visibility into unresolved risks and easy mitigation guidance.

Let Arnica Do the Mitigation Work

Take the security heavy lifting out of the software development process by automating as much of the investigation, triage, and mitigation effort as possible.

Customer testimonials

Brad Young

VP of Technology
"Arnica has been a piece of allowing us to accelerate like that. As I've taken my team and split it up into smaller groups - some two-person teams tackling fairly big functionality - Arnica being part of it has been really successful for us."

Jordan Bailey

Principal AppSec Engineer
"Arnica's flexible solution and policy engine gave us the opportunity to iteratively layer-in new workflows and controls to give developers time to acclimate to changes and provide feedback."

Mark Stanislav

VP of Security Engineering & GRC
"When one of our developers pushes a valid hardcoded secret, we send a message in Slack to the developer immediately letting them know that Arnica fixed it for them."

Mali Gorantla

VP of Security
"Developers appreciate that we’re able to, with Arnica, provide feedback early and provide it with the tools they’re already using."

Everett Odom

Director of Information Security
"Arnica has won major points across the organization. It doesn’t get in the developers’ way – a big win for developers – and the developers actually use it – a huge win for security."

FAQ

  1. What are developer-native security workflows?
    They are security processes embedded directly into the tools developers use, such as Source Code Management platforms (SCM), chat, and pull request flows, so security feedback is immediate and contextual.

  2. Why do workflows need to be native to developer tools?
    Because forcing developers into separate security tools slows them down and creates friction. Native workflows reduce context switching and improve adoption.

  3. Does Arnica automate issue ticketing?
    Yes. It can auto-create tickets in tools like Jira or Azure DevOps when risks are detected and auto-close them when risks are resolved.
