Backslash Security, a leading cybersecurity company based in Tel Aviv, Israel, has announced the launch of new platform enhancements aimed at providing comprehensive support for the application security needs of large enterprises. The company’s latest offerings include an array of new integrations, automation features, and language support, further solidifying its position as a key player in the cybersecurity space.
One of the key elements that make cybersecurity teams successful is the ability to prioritize critical vulnerabilities and build trust with developers to address these risks effectively and efficiently. Shane Garoutte, Head of Security & Compliance at Capital Rx, emphasized the importance of Backslash’s focus on reachability analysis in enabling teams to achieve both of these objectives. With the platform’s expanded capabilities, security teams can seamlessly integrate security throughout the software development lifecycle, working closely with DevOps to ensure robust security measures are in place.
Backslash’s platform combines various security tools such as SCA, SAST, SBOM, VEX, and secrets detection to provide a comprehensive solution for identifying and addressing critical risks. The newly released enhancements to the platform cater to the specific needs of large enterprises, including extended support for a wide range of use cases, enhanced language support, and role-based access controls for streamlined access management.
Moreover, the security team workflow enhancements introduced by Backslash enable users to automate security workflows and create tickets and notifications seamlessly through popular collaboration platforms like Jira, Monday.com, ServiceNow, Slack, and Microsoft Teams. The company has also integrated CI/CD support for DevOps teams, allowing them to implement DevSecOps processes and prevent new issues from arising during the development stages.
The latest updates to Backslash’s reachability analysis capabilities include the detection of phantom packages in OSS code, identification of vulnerable transitive packages, and enhanced UI features for displaying code references. Yossi Pik, co-founder and CTO of Backslash Security, emphasized that these enhancements are designed to help enterprise security teams prioritize critical code risks, build trust among stakeholders, and seamlessly integrate security measures into organizational workflows.
Enterprises can now access a free trial of the Backslash platform to experience its full range of features, including SAST, SCA, phantom packages, VEX, SBOM, and secrets detection. The platform’s precision in identifying and addressing only reachable, exploitable vulnerabilities sets it apart in the cybersecurity landscape, empowering teams to focus on fixing code components that are actively in use and accessible to potential attackers.
