We're redefining application security
This forces application security teams to address vulnerabilities late in the development cycle—where the fixes are more disruptive and costly. The result?
AppSec teams are stretched thin, struggling to meet engineering demands while upholding their commitment to customer trust.

Our story so far
How we got here
We’ve spent years on the front lines of application security. During that time, we witnessed firsthand the growing gap between security and development teams. The tools and processes available often left AppSec teams overwhelmed and under-resourced, while developers were racing against the clock to ship features.
We knew there had to be a better way—a way to bring security and development closer together, reducing the friction between them and amplifying their impact. That vision became the foundation of Heeler. Our shared experiences made it clear that security had to evolve beyond fragmented tools and manual processes. It needed to be part of the core workflow, fully integrated into how software was built and deployed.
We launched Heeler to solve the very challenges we faced. By unifying application, runtime, and business context, we’re driving a much-needed shift in the way security is approached—one that’s scalable, automated, and developer-friendly.
In June 2023 the four co-founders launched Heeler.
