Separate the risk from the noise with runtime insights
SCA tools surface thousands of vulnerabilities, but many are not really exploitable. Users are looking for tools that can provide context, priority, and evidence that a CVE actually affects the risk posture of their application.
What does Helios do?
We integrate with any SCA platform and enrich its findings with runtime usage insights to help filter and prioritize vulnerability alerts.
Context
Helios provides the full end-to-end applicative context to help analyze, mitigate, and contain vulnerabilities.
Priority
Is the package actually deployed? Is it loaded and used? Prioritize based on the actual risk.
Runtime SBOM
See the actual list of 3rd party dependencies that are available and used at runtime. No false positives.
Evidence
We provide the following forensics:
- Container environment (image, kubernetes pod / replicaset / cluster)
- Cloud provider details (account id, region)
- Stack trace for vulnerable function invocations, analytics about the invocations
- Tracing context for vulnerable function invocations
- Service map
Seamless end-user deployment
Helios is deployed using a single Kubernetes configuration update command.
Alternatively, users can deploy Helios with one click using AWS EKS add-ons.
Minimal footprint and no effect on performance
We work in the background to collect a minimal amount of data and once the data is gathered the collection stops.
How it’s done
We seamlessly integrate into Kubernetes clusters, leveraging various low-friction data collection techniques (at both the kernel and application levels) to answer the following questions:
Is the vulnerability publicly facing?
Is it deployed?
Is it loaded?
Is the function called?
Save time with runtime
Teams spend too much time on false positives and manual investigations to determine the potential impact and severity of vulnerabilities.
Eliminate false positives
Get a list of REAL vulnerabilities that are in use and reachable.
Reduce MTTR
Precisely identify where vulnerable packages are being used.
Only fix what matters
Stop wasting engineering time on fixing vulnerabilities that don’t pose a real threat.
Who we are
A team of runtime experts. We started off applying observability to monitoring and now we’re leveraging our know-how and expanding our offering to the security domain.
We provide security teams with actionable runtime insights that significantly reduce alert fatigue by enabling real-time visibility into app behavior.
We seamlessly integrate into Kubernetes clusters, leveraging various low-friction data collection techniques, enabling DevSecOps teams to focus on meeting security and compliance objectives.
