What is BestDefense?
BestDefense is a security platform that helps you find, prioritize, and fix security issues across your applications, APIs, and infrastructure — and then helps you ship the fix. Instead of handing you a PDF full of findings, it can generate a pull request that resolves an issue and walk it through review to merge.
The products
Section titled “The products”Each product targets a different part of your attack surface. You can use them independently or together.
| Product | What it does |
|---|---|
| Vortex | Scans web applications and APIs for vulnerabilities. Offers Analog (DAST), AI pen-testing, and API scans. |
| Maelstrom | Load and scaling tests that measure how your targets behave under simulated user traffic. |
| Network scanning | An agent you deploy inside a network to discover hosts, services, and vulnerabilities. |
| Remediation Queue | A Kanban pipeline that turns findings into AI-generated, reviewed, mergeable pull requests. |
| Code Quality | Surfaces SonarQube static-analysis findings alongside your security findings. |
How a typical workflow flows
Section titled “How a typical workflow flows”- Register a target (a site or API) in your organization.
- Scan it with Vortex (or scan a network with the agent).
- Read the report — findings are grouped and ranked by severity.
- Remediate — trigger an AI fix, review the pull request it opens, and approve it. Or accept the risk, or create a Jira ticket.
- Track everything in the Remediation Queue and on your dashboard.
What makes it different
Section titled “What makes it different”- Fix, not just find. AI remediation generates real code changes and opens pull requests in your repository, gated by guardrails you control.
- One place for posture. Findings from Vortex, network scans, and code quality flow into a single remediation pipeline and dashboard.
- Integrated with your tools. Connect GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket for remediation, Jira for tickets, SonarQube for code quality, and your identity provider for SSO.
