About Arnica

Arnica is the ultimate platform for modern application security teams. It is getting more challenging for developers to build secure applications. The "shift left" movement has promised to change that, but the result has been a shift left of work and effort. Arnica is delivering application security teams a solution that developers and security love by giving clarity to what is actually important and by shifting automation and mitigations left instead of more work.

Arnica’s solution consolidates a suite of application security tools across code risks (SAST, SCA, reputation, licensing, IaC), hardcoded secrets mitigation, excessive developer permissions, git hardening and more. Each risk is surfaced with context, ownership, and actionability. Our pipelineless approach to AppSec guarantees 100% coverage always and eliminates risks in a blameless and shameless way by interacting with developers in real time to stop any new risk from entering production code.
