Security that ships with the code
SAST, secret scanning, SCA, container hardening, and dynamic testing — integrated into your CI/CD pipeline and surfaced in one console so developers fix issues before they reach production.
What is DevSecOps Platform — Shift-Left Security for Engineering Teams?
DevSecOps is the practice of integrating security controls directly into the software development and delivery lifecycle rather than adding them after the fact. Threatstealth embeds SAST (Semgrep), dependency scanning (SCA), secret detection, container image hardening, and web application scanning into your CI/CD pipeline — delivering findings in the same queue engineers already use for bug triage, with remediation guidance that developers can act on immediately.
Why bolt-on security slows engineering teams
- Security scanning runs after deployment — findings arrive too late for cheap, fast fixes
- Separate security tools with separate consoles create a context-switch tax for developers
- Generic scanner output with no remediation guidance produces confusion, not action
- No visibility into dependency risk, secret leakage, or container hardening gaps until production
A four-step operational model
Scan on every commit
Semgrep SAST, secret scanning, SCA, and container image scans trigger on every push — findings land in the developer's workflow before code merges.
- SAST — Semgrep + 400+ rule sets
- SCA — dependency CVE + license check
- Secret detection — credentials & tokens
Contextual findings
Every finding includes the CWE classification, OWASP mapping, severity, and a specific remediation suggestion — no raw scanner dumps.
- CWE + OWASP category
- CVSS + EPSS enrichment
- Copy-paste remediation guidance
Developer-native triage
Create remediation tickets in Jira, Linear, or GitHub Issues directly from the finding — no security team handoff required for most items.
- Jira / Linear / GitHub Issues
- Assigned to the committing developer
- SLA based on severity
Track to closure
Re-scan verifies each fix before the finding closes. Historical trend data shows security debt trajectory across repos.
- Auto re-scan on PR merge
- Security debt trend reporting
- Compliance evidence export
Outcomes for security teams
Fix findings at source
Remediating a vulnerability at code-commit time costs 10× less than fixing it post-deployment — developers have full context and no rollback complexity.
No separate security console
Findings flow into the same triage queue engineers use for bugs — no separate security dashboard login, no ticket translation overhead.
Compliance evidence for free
Every SAST scan and remediation generates timestamped evidence that maps directly to SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS control requirements.
Direct answers
Which SAST engine does Threatstealth use?+
Threatstealth uses Semgrep with an extended rule library covering OWASP Top 10, CWE Top 25, and language-specific security patterns for Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, Java, and more.
Does it scan open-source dependencies?+
Yes. SCA scanning covers NPM, PyPI, Maven, Go modules, and Cargo — checking each dependency against the NVD CVE database and CISA KEV catalogue.
Can it detect hardcoded secrets and tokens?+
Yes. Secret detection runs on every commit and scans Git history for accidentally committed credentials, API keys, and tokens — with alert routing to the responsible developer.
Does it integrate with GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket?+
Yes. Repository connectors support GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps — triggering scans on push and reporting findings back to pull requests.
How does this complement an enterprise WAF?+
DevSecOps scanning catches vulnerabilities before deployment; the WAF provides runtime protection if something slips through. Together they form a complete defence-in-depth posture.
