Build Security Champions

Identify, automate, and build Security Champions with Arnica, using real behavior and seamless workflows to embed effective security where it matters most.

The Challenge with Manual Security Champion Programs

Hard to Identify the Right People

Manual selection often relies on self-nomination or guesswork, missing key contributors. Without behavioral data, it's difficult to spot who’s actually championing security.

Difficult to Scale Across Teams

As organizations grow, this leads to gaps in coverage and lost momentum. Finding and alerting on risks without providing clear or, better yet, automated mitigation guidance, becomes even more difficult.

Low Engagement and Burnout

Champions are often assigned without context or support, leading to disengagement. Without clear incentives or streamlined workflows, participation quickly fades and developer velocity decreases.

Customer Testimonials

Hear what Arnica users have to say about how pipelineless security helped them build their own world-class application security program.

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 helps us reduce noise by providing metrics on the likelihood of exploitation and reprioritizing critical severity vulnerabilities based on Arnica’s logic, exposing the most important risks to deal with immediately. We set all of this up in the first month."

Mali Gorantla, VP of Security

"Arnica allows us to gain a clear sense of what our biggest exposure points are and to address them immediately."

Everett Odom, Director of Information Security

"With Arnica’s full coverage and visibility, we’ve been able to establish a clear view on what our vulnerabilities are, when we found them, who’s worked on them, who caused them, who resolved them, and so much more."
