Rethink Software Composition Analysis (SCA)
Runtime, Fixability-First SCA
Fixability Focused SCA
Stop Overwhelming Developers – Focus on Fixing
Fixability
Heeler evaluates whether a suggested library upgrade introduces breaking changes that could impact the application, providing development teams with detailed guidance on library upgrades.
Breaking Change Detection
Eliminate guesswork by distinguishing safe version bumps from those requiring significant code changes.
Safest Upgrade Path
Recommends the lowest-risk upgrade that solves the most vulnerabilities for each vulnerable dependency based on your environment.
Changelog Intelligence
Provides relevant changelog details so teams know what’s changed and how it affects their code.
Exploitability
Runtime threat modeling enables evaluation of real-world risk including business impact, service relationships, level of compromise, exposure, and precise versioning of deployed code.
Runtime Threat Modeling
Factors in exploitability, exposure paths, and active threat intelligence to prioritize what matters most.
Business and Runtime Context
Connects vulnerabilities to business-critical systems, service dependencies, and real-time runtime architecture modeling.
Threat Likliehood
The likelihood of open-source vulnerabilities being exploited based on multiple data sources.
Automate Remediation
Seamlessly manage the entire remediation lifecycle in real time—identification and assignment, SLO tracking, and monitoring deployment to all production environments, ensuring that risk is truly resolved.
Ownership and SLO Management
Automates assignment, escalates violations, and tracks team performance against defined SLAs.
Automated Ticket Closure
Detects fix deployments in production and closes tickets automatically to reduce operational overhead.
CI/CD Guardrails
Blocks or flags risky dependencies at the pull request stage using live runtime context and impact analysis.
Heeler Tackles the Biggest SCA Challenges
SCA tools were designed for a different era—before AI-generated code, microservices at scale, and continuous deployment. Today, they struggle to keep pace with modern development. These are the core challenges holding SCA back from delivering real security outcomes.
Prioritizing What Actually Matters
AppSec teams struggle to identify which vulnerabilities truly matter—specifically, those that are exploitable in their environment, pose meaningful business risk, or are actively being exploited in the wild.
Developer Overload
Developers often face analysis paralysis, wasting hours figuring out which upgrades to prioritize, whether those upgrades introduce breaking changes, and how to safely implement them.
AI-Powered Code, Human AppSec Teams
AppSec teams are expected to secure an ever-expanding attack surface—more code, services, and deployments—without a corresponding increase in headcount. The rise of AI-assisted coding only accelerates this growth, making it harder to keep up.
Benefits
Transform AppSec to be aligned with business goals
Exploitability + Fixability
Security and development operate with shared clarity—quickly fixing what’s exploitable and non-breaking, and working together with alignment and empathy on complex remediations.
Clear the Security Backlog
By eliminating noise and enabling non-breaking upgrades, Heeler allows teams to clear the backlog of open-source security debt—and get to a place where most libraries can be auto-upgraded.
Scale AppSec, Not Headcount
Give security and development teams the context and automation they need to move faster. Enabling AppSec to scale without adding headcount and achieve measurable risk reduction.
