We are excited to share that Heeler’s initial OWASP® Foundation Global AppSec in San Francisco was nothing short of incredible! The energy and expertise of the application security community were truly inspiring. From thought leaders to fellow startups, it was a fantastic opportunity to engage with others who share a common goal: solving today’s most pressing AppSec challenges.

In today’s agile development landscape, where cloud-based software is constantly evolving and deployed at unprecedented speed, traditional, manual threat modeling is no longer enough. As development teams iterate quickly and deploy in real-time, requirements and architecture changes rapidly, creating potential gaps in security that static threat models simply cannot keep up with. This has paved the way for continuous and agile threat modeling—a real-time approach to identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks early in the software lifecycle.

At Heeler, we’re not just building a product; we’re reshaping the future of application security. In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, the traditional approach to security has reached its limits. As applications grow more complex and threats become more sophisticated, the need for a unified security approach that integrates code, runtime, and business context is more critical than ever.

In the fast-paced world of software development, the adoption of agile methodologies and continuous delivery practices has revolutionized how applications are built, deployed, and maintained. In an agile environment, where code and cloud are constantly changing and new features are continuously being integrated, threat modeling needs to be just as agile and continuous. The idea is to ensure that security is built into the development process rather than bolted on as an afterthought.

Security prioritization has become an overwhelming challenge for organizations, as they try to manage an ever-expanding application footprint alongside an increasingly sophisticated threat landscape. In 2024 alone, we've seen a 30% year-over-year increase in reported CVEs through July, according to the Qualys Threat Research Unit. The rise of AI-assisted coding—often trained on the same vulnerable code we're trying to defend against—likely exacerbates this issue even further.

In today’s complex digital landscape, application security can no longer be handled with a siloed approach. Modern applications require a comprehensive strategy that integrates multiple security disciplines into a seamless process. At Heeler, we understand that to effectively manage and mitigate risks, security needs to be woven into every stage of the software development lifecycle (SDLC). This is why we've built a platform that unifies threat modeling, lifecycle management, and response orchestration into a cohesive system.
