What is the difference between Maphra and AppSecD?

Maphra works outside-in (External Attack Surface Management): what can an attacker reach without credentials. AppSecD works inside-out (Application Security Posture Management): what are we shipping into production right now. Most teams run both.

Does Maphra need an agent or credentials?

No. Maphra discovers and validates your external attack surface continuously without any agent and without credentials.

What does AppSecD cover?

SAST, DAST, SCA, secret detection, IaC, container, Kubernetes and API security from one platform, with a real vulnerability lifecycle gated at the pull request.

Secure the whole pipeline, at the one gate it has to pass

Every change reaches production through the pull request. That makes it the cheapest place to stop a flaw and the most expensive place to miss one. AppSecD stands on that gate and runs eight classes of security check against every change from one platform, so the flaw is caught in review with the fix handed back — not in the breach report.

Eight engines, one deduplicated finding model

SAST — static analysis across 20+ languages (Semgrep plus 15+ analysers), mapped to OWASP and CWE.
Secrets — the working tree and the full git history, so a key committed once and later removed is still caught.
SCA — dependency and supply-chain risk across 8 ecosystems, with typosquat, malicious-package, provenance and KEV signals.
DAST — tests the running application with 150+ checks (Nuclei, Dalfox, SQLMap, Commix, Katana and more).
IaC — Terraform, CloudFormation, Helm, Ansible and Pulumi checked before the misconfiguration is applied.
Container — image CVEs surfaced against the artifact you are about to ship.
Kubernetes — RBAC, network policy and pod-security posture reviewed as manifests.
API — API security testing across 50+ frameworks.

The point is not the number of tools. It is that one platform runs them against a single deduplicated finding model — the same flaw seen by SAST and by DAST is one finding with one owner, not eight tickets.

Stopped at the gate, not in the incident report

A finding that breaches policy blocks the merge, so the fix happens while the author still has the context. Shift-left scanning in VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf and JetBrains clears most issues before the pull request even exists. AppSecD wires into GitHub and GitLab (App, OAuth, PAT, group and project tokens) with webhook, scheduled, manual and ZIP-upload triggers, and a maker–checker approval is required before a finding is closed.

Proof that travels with the finding

Reachability — interprocedural taint analysis and CVE-reachability — ranks the queue by what an attacker can actually reach rather than by raw severity. Findings move through new, reopened and fixed with ageing and SLA, are raised and closed in Jira, and export as an SBOM in CycloneDX and SPDX. AppSecD runs SAST, DAST, SCA, secret detection, IaC, container, Kubernetes and API security from one platform — wired into Git, gated at the pull request, and managed through a real vulnerability lifecycle.
