Traditional open source vulnerability remediation is a significant bottleneck in modern security. Organizations often grapple with hundreds or thousands of high and critical vulnerabilities, yet the process of upgrading dependencies is a manual, time-consuming, and error-prone task, heavily reliant on developers.
Developers, naturally prioritizing feature development, may resist upgrades due to potential risks and increased workload. This tension between security and development teams can lead to delays, frustration, and increased security exposure.
The core issue lies in the misalignment of responsibilities. Security teams are accountable for overall security posture, but they lack the autonomy to implement fixes directly. This dependence on developers hinders timely response to vulnerabilities and weakens the organization's security stance.
Seal Security empowers security teams to take control of the vulnerability remediation process. By leveraging our platform, teams can independently address open source vulnerabilities without relying on developers.
By shifting the responsibility for remediation to the security team, Seal Security aligns capabilities with accountability, ensuring a more secure and efficient organization.
Seal Security offers a revolutionary approach to open source vulnerability remediation. Our platform leverages two core components:
Remediated open source libraries: Our security experts meticulously backport security fixes to the exact versions you use, ensuring compatibility and minimizing disruption.
Seamless integration: Our tool integrates seamlessly into your CI pipeline, automatically replacing vulnerable libraries with their secure counterparts.
How It works:
Detection and remediation: Our platform identifies vulnerabilities in your projects and provides pre-patched library versions.
CI/CD integration: The tool seamlessly integrates into your CI/CD pipeline, automatically replacing vulnerable libraries during the build process.
Flexible configuration: You can configure remediation rules either directly in your project's repository or through our web interface, providing flexibility and control.
Key features:
The old way: a painstaking process
Traditionally, when a new vulnerability was identified, it triggered a complex and time-consuming process. Security teams had to meticulously analyze the vulnerability's impact, prioritize it against other threats, and coordinate with development teams to schedule fixes. This often involved back-and-forth negotiations, as developers might resist upgrades due to potential compatibility issues or increased workload.
Once a developer was assigned, they would need to dive into the code, understand the affected components, and meticulously modify them to address the vulnerability. This process could take days or even weeks, especially for complex applications or legacy systems. The risk of introducing new bugs or breaking existing functionality was significant, and the entire process was prone to delays and errors.
The new way: a streamlined approach
With Seal Security, the remediation process is streamlined dramatically. When a vulnerability is discovered, security teams can quickly identify affected applications and apply pre-validated, security-patched versions of the vulnerable libraries. This automation eliminates the need for manual code changes, reducing the risk of human error and accelerating the remediation process.
By integrating seamlessly with CI/CD pipelines, Seal Security ensures that security fixes are automatically applied to new builds, minimizing the window of vulnerability exposure. This proactive approach significantly enhances an organization's security posture and reduces the likelihood of successful attacks.
A leading financial institution faced a significant security challenge: they were unable to upgrade their critical Django application due to compatibility issues with their legacy database. This left them vulnerable to a host of critical vulnerabilities.
By leveraging Seal Security's platform, the institution was able to seamlessly replace the vulnerable Django version with a fully compatible, security-patched version. This innovative approach allowed them to address the vulnerabilities without the need for extensive code modifications or risking database disruptions.
This successful implementation empowered the security team to independently remediate vulnerabilities, freeing up developer resources and accelerating the overall security process.
A cybersecurity company, known for its expertise in protecting organizations from cyber threats, encountered a pressing need to expedite vulnerability remediation. Traditional methods often resulted in lengthy processes, leaving systems exposed to potential attacks. By adopting Seal Security, the company significantly reduced their mean time to repair (MTTR), addressing critical vulnerabilities within 72 hours. This accelerated response time strengthened their security posture and minimized the risk of exploitation.
Organizations must prioritize swift and effective vulnerability remediation. Traditional methods, often reliant on developer resources and manual processes, can be time-consuming and prone to errors.
Seal Security offers a solution that empowers security teams to take control of the remediation process. By automating the identification, prioritization, and patching of vulnerabilities, Seal Security enables organizations to significantly reduce their attack surface and strengthen their overall security posture.
By adopting a self-service approach, security teams can proactively address vulnerabilities without disrupting development workflows. This accelerated remediation process not only improves security but also frees up valuable developer time, allowing them to focus on innovation and product development.
Seal Security is a powerful tool that empowers organizations to elevate their security game. Safeguard your systems, minimize risk, and achieve a more secure future.
