Application Security

Backslash offers the Unified Vibe Coding Security Platform , the definitive solution for managing the security risks introduced by the rapid adoption of AI-augmented development, also known as "vibe coding". We provide B2B organizations with the preemptive security controls necessary to secure their entire Generative AI development ecosystem, ensuring both speed of innovation and continuous security. The Problem: The rise of AI coding IDEs and agents has created a new governance and security blind spot for engineering teams. Backslash research has shown that popular LLMs, when used with simple or "naive" prompts, frequently generate code that is insecure or vulnerable. Relying on developers to craft effective security prompts is unrealistic, leading to vulnerable code 40%–90% of the time. Furthermore, the introduction of unvetted MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers presents unacceptable infrastructure and data security risk. The Backslash Value Proposition: Vibe Securing. Backslash addresses this challenge by shifting the mindset from merely detecting vulnerabilities after code is written to preventing their creation before code is generated. We call this "vibe securing". The platform provides the built-in guardrails and context-aware system needed to achieve true "security by design" for AI-generated code. Key Platform Capabilities: Visibility and Governance: Gain full visibility into where developers are using AI coding agents, which LLMs are active, and which MCP servers and prompt rules are in use across the developer infrastructure. The Vibe Coding Dashboard provides an immediate assessment of their security posture. Secure AI Prompt Rules: Preemptively create secure code using prompt rules that automatically enhance developer input to adhere to security best practices. These rules are transparent to developers, resulting in secure code that is free of vulnerabilities and exposures from the start. Ecosystem Hardening: AI Agent and IDE Hardening enforces uniform configuration across Agentic IDEs (like Cursor and Windsurf) to fence off agentic AI, reduce the attack surface, and prevent unexpected behaviors. MCP Server Security allows you to analyze and vet MCP servers to prevent excessive permissions and insecure configurations that could be exploited by malicious actors. Contextual Risk Mitigation: The proprietary Backslash App Graph Model provides a core code security engine that models the application. It ensures findings are contextual from the outset, eliminating noise and false positives by only flagging vulnerabilities that have a real, demonstrable risk attached. This empowers developers with actionable, real-time security guidance directly in their workspace. Backslash boosts AI adoption across software engineering teams by providing governance and preemptive security controls for security and AI governance teams

Heeler helps teams automate the identification, prevention, prioritization, and remediation of open source application security risks. Without an agent, Heeler unifies runtime and business context to pinpoint exploitable risks in production, trace them to exact commits, and automate fixes. SLAs enforce themselves, issues close when resolved, and guardrails keep risks out of production. With Heeler AppSec teams can: ✅ De-prioritize over 99% of open-source vulnerabilities—focusing only on the ones that matter ✅ Automate remediation for the 1% that pose real risk (i.e., vulnerabilities that are exploitable, reachable, running in production, and have business impact) ✅ Enforce CI/CD guardrails to prevent risky open-source dependencies from ever being introduced
