Security Scanners
Comprehensive security scanning framework including SAST, DAST, container security, dependency management, and blockchain-specific vulnerability detection.
What security scanning tools protect blockchain applications?
Enterprise blockchain applications require specialized security scanning that addresses both traditional application vulnerabilities and blockchain-specific threats. Our comprehensive scanning framework integrates multiple security tools throughout the development lifecycle to detect vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and compliance violations before they reach production.
Continuous Security Validation: Our automated security scanning pipeline runs over 15 different security tools, performing more than 10,000 security checks on every code commit and container build.
Why do blockchain applications need specialized security scanning?
Traditional application security scanners don't detect blockchain-specific vulnerabilities:
- Smart Contract Vulnerabilities: Reentrancy, integer overflow, and access control issues
- Cryptographic Implementation Flaws: Weak random number generation and key management
- Consensus Mechanism Attacks: MEV exploitation and front-running vulnerabilities
- Cross-Chain Security: Bridge vulnerabilities and atomic swap attacks
- DeFi Protocol Risks: Flash loan attacks and oracle manipulation
