Arnica

What it does

Arnica is a pipelineless application security platform that embeds scanning directly into source control systems instead of CI/CD pipelines, covering Software Composition Analysis (SCA), Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Infrastructure as Code (IaC) misconfigurations, hardcoded secrets, package reputation, and Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) generation. An Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) layer consolidates these findings into a prioritized risk inventory, and the Arnie AI module extends coverage to code written by AI coding assistants.

How it works

The platform connects to the major source code management platforms and analyzes commits, branches, and pull requests in real time, covering every repository and branch with zero pipeline configuration. Findings are prioritized using CVSS, EPSS, and Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) data, reachability analysis for dependencies, and automatic repository criticality classification, then routed to automatically identified risk owners through chat and ticketing tools, with generated code fixes delivered in pull requests. Detected secrets are validated against live services and removed by rewriting commits, while Arnie AI injects version-controlled secure coding rules into AI coding assistants and blocks unfixed issues at merge.
