Validation that ships with every release.

Staris runs continuous, exploit-proven validation across your application portfolio — proving which vulnerabilities are actually exploitable before they reach production. Built for AppSec teams shipping at AI speed.

How Staris scales your service delivery

The shape of a modern security engagement isn't one team doing all the work — it's the right validator on the right asset. Your firm owns triage, expert testing on niche surfaces, oversight, and the signed certificate. Staris is the volume-validation engine: continuous, exploit-proven testing across the assets where automation wins. The diagram below shows how the work divides — and where Staris does the bulk lifting so your team can focus on the work only humans can do.

80% of the validation volume runs through Staris. Your team's hours go to the highest-creativity work and the certificate sign-off your client actually shares with their customers, insurers, and board.

How Staris Transforms Application Security Testing

From automated penetration testing to verified vulnerability reporting, discover how Staris delivers faster, more comprehensive security validation for your team.

Evidence on every finding.

Every Staris cycle produces proof of exploit, execution trace, and the patch that closed it. Hand your CISO, board, or audit team verified results — not scanner output.

Fix what matters. Skip the noise.

Staris validates every finding in your application's business context before it reaches your team's queue. Your engineers see only what's exploitable — with a PR-ready patch on every one.

SECURITY LEADERS USING STARIS

Bill Gambarella

CEO

OpsHelm

By reducing the time required for each test and making every test fit within our budget, we’ve been able to scale our security coverage without compromise. The quality of Staris AI’s results has actually exceeded what we had before, giving us both speed and confidence.

Leading-Edge AppSec Tools.

Business context, not generic findings.

Staris reads your code, policies, and data model to understand what each application is supposed to do. Findings are scoped to vulnerabilities that have real business impact in your environment.

Built into your release cycle.

Staris generates PR-ready patches your engineers can review and merge. CI/CD integrations run validation alongside your existing pipelines — no separate tooling to maintain.

Every finding is exploit-proven.

Staris validates every finding in your application's business context before it reaches your team's queue. Your engineers see only what's exploitable — with a PR-ready patch on every one.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Staris?

Staris is a continuous application security validation platform that proves which vulnerabilities are actually exploitable in running applications. Staris replaces scanner noise and point-in-time pentesting with continuous, provable security validation.

‍

What does "continuous, provable validation" mean?

Continuous, provable validation means security testing that runs on a recurring, release-aligned basis and produces validated evidence of exploitability. Instead of relying on point-in-time pentesting or large volumes of scanner findings, teams use Staris to continuously prove which vulnerabilities actually matter.

‍

Who is Staris built for?

Staris is built for software companies that ship frequently, expose APIs or customer-facing applications, and need provable security validation without relying entirely on manual pentesting. It is especially well suited for ISVs and product teams that have outgrown scanner-heavy workflows.

‍

What does Staris replace in my current stack?

Staris replaces traditional penetration testing, vulnerability scanners, and manual validation workflows by continuously discovering and proving real exploitable vulnerabilities with working exploit + PR-ready patch on every finding.

What types of vulnerabilities does Staris find?

Staris focuses on exploitable vulnerabilities that can be demonstrated end-to-end — including broken access controls, authentication bypasses, injection flaws, and business logic errors. Each reported finding includes proof of exploitability with steps to reproduce, so your team fixes only real, validated risks instead of triaging unverified scanner alerts.

What does "verified" or "proven exploitability" mean?

Verified vulnerabilities are security issues Staris has successfully exploited, eliminating false positives and ensuring real-world risk relevance.

How does Staris simulate real attacker behavior?

Staris AI simulates real attacker behavior against your application, executes controlled exploits, and confirms only real, exploitable vulnerabilities with contextual remediation guidance.

What kind of remediation guidance does Staris provide?

Staris provides actionable remediation guidance mapped directly to the exploited vulnerability, including root cause, impact, and code-level recommendations.

Can I limit what Staris tests?

Yes you have complete control over the scope and actions Staris takes ensuring it never performs an action against your environment you didn't approve.

How does Staris differ from traditional vulnerability scanners?

Scanners, SAST tools, and code review products identify potential vulnerabilities or risky patterns in code. Staris validates whether vulnerabilities are actually exploitable in the running application. That is why Staris helps teams reduce false positives, prioritize real attacker paths, and move from possible findings to validated risk.

‍

How does Staris complement or replace SAST and DAST?

Staris complements or replaces traditional SAST and DAST tools by validating vulnerabilities in business context and confirming exploitability. This reduces false positives and improves remediation prioritization.

‍

How does Staris differ from traditional penetration testing?

Staris AI provides continuous security validation through verified exploitation and contextual remediation guidance.

How does Staris handle source code access and data isolation?

Staris analyzes application code and behavior to validate exploitability, but deployment options allow organizations to retain full control of their source code and infrastructure. Staris can run within customer-controlled environments, ensuring sensitive data remains secure and isolated.

Does Staris train its models on customer data?

No. Staris does not train its models on customer application code or sensitive data. Staris analyzes applications solely to validate security and provide remediation guidance, and customer data remains isolated within the deployment environment.

Can Staris run in a private VPC or be self-hosted?

Yes. Staris supports deployment in private VPC and fully self-hosted environments, allowing organizations with strict security and compliance requirements to run Staris entirely within their own infrastructure.

‍

What security practices does Staris follow?

Yes. Staris follows modern security best practices, supports private deployments, does not train on any customer data, and never exposes customer data outside authorized environments.

Does Staris support RBAC and SSO?

Yes. Staris supports role-based access control (RBAC) and single sign-on (SSO) in Premium and Enterprise plans.
