    Panoptica
    Panoptica makes it easy to secure your containers, APIs, and serverless functions, and manage software bills of materials. It analyzes internal and external APIs and assigns risk scores. Your policies govern which API calls the gateway permits or disables. New cloud-native architectures allow teams to develop and deploy software more quickly, keeping up with the pace of today’s market. But this speed can come with a cost—security. Panoptica closes the gaps by integrating automated, policy-based security and visibility into every stage of the software-development lifecycle. Decentralized cloud-native architectures have significantly increased the number of attack surfaces. At the same time, changes in the computing landscape have raised the risk of catastrophic security breaches. Here are some of the reasons why comprehensive security is more important than ever before. You need a platform that protects the entire application lifecycle—from development to runtime.

    The Code Registry

    The Code Registry

    The Code Registry

    The Code Registry is an AI-powered code intelligence and analysis platform that gives businesses and non-technical stakeholders full visibility into their software codebase, even if they don’t write code themselves. Upon connecting your code repository (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, or uploading a zipped archive), the platform creates a secure “IP Vault” and runs a comprehensive automated analysis across your entire codebase. It produces a range of reports and dashboards, including a code-complexity score (revealing how intricate or maintainable your code is), open-source component analysis (detecting dependencies, license status, outdated or vulnerable libraries), security analysis (identifying potential vulnerabilities, insecure configurations or risky dependencies), and a “cost-to-replicate” valuation, estimating how much effort or resources it would take to rebuild or replace the software from scratch.
