A practical workflow

1. Select scanning engines matching your attack surface, including SAST and optional modules like Secrets Detection and IaC Security.
2. Add AI-powered agents such as Developer Assist, Triage Assist, and Remediation Assist to automate triage and fixes in developer workflows.
3. Add risk intelligence and governance modules for portfolio-wide risk visibility, compliance enforcement, and orchestration.
4. Review your selected modules and request a custom quote based on your team size and usage.
