About Deepfactor

Deepfactor is a new approach to application security that combines SBOM, software composition analysis, container scans, and container runtime security into a powerful integrated platform. With Deepfactor’s unique runtime software composition analysis, you can now correlate static scans with runtime analysis, and prioritize vulnerabilities to those that represent true risk to your business.

Who benefits?

  • Leadership: They now have accurate awareness and tracking of security posture and risk to the organization, based on context for their business and not on generic scoring. And they can be assured of efficient use of team resources and time spent on security fixes that align with business priorities.
  • Security/AppSec Teams: They can now provide developers with a framework to prioritize risk, resulting in more mature collaboration between AppSec and engineering. And the organization is better prepared for the next zero-day event by focusing on high-risk vulnerabilities first.
  • Developers: They can now focus on high-risk vulnerabilities first, bringing positive impact on, and value to, the business. And they’ll suffer far less from alert fatigue.
