CI/CD Security vs. Security-as-Code: which lowers risk more?
Vulnerability injections in the CI/CD pipeline recently led to open source projects making headlines. Here’s a better way to secure.

Declaratively and imperatively automate the process of fixing vulnerable code as it executes
Companies use Waratek Secure to ensure a hardened level of security posture across all of their applications and maintain agility in the software development lifecycle
Waratek's Security-as-Code platform not only found the cryptominer we had, but securely removed it within 48 hours, stopping us from having to rebuild our solution from scratch.
When a vulnerable call is made, Waratek Secure performs a checksum check and tells your application to ingore the code.
A healthy version of the code is returned instead in real-time as defined by your policy.
Additional calls to that vulnerability fetches the sanitized version, resulting in even faster execution.
Accelerate time-to-remediate with instant security patches that take effect as your applications are running without needing to redeploy.
This approach to security reduces potential attacker dwell time to zero and keeps business continuity moving forward.
Enable immutable control through policy that allows developers to move fast without fear of vulnerability regression.
Every Declarative rule in your policy is immutable, meaning there's no code in the codebase now or in the future that can override the security defined in your policy.

What makes this more scalable than other solutions?
Cost and human capital are the reason why scaling security with modern software development is so difficult with common approaches.
Most AppSec solutions are large data pipelines that have to ingest, transform, and analyze payloads to determine risk. Due to this approach, hardware utilization is incredibly high.
Rather than analyzing a payload, which is a lagging indicator, Security-as-Code actually fixes your code as it executes removing the need to analyze a payload, therefore removing the possibility of false positives and negatives that eat away a teams' time and siginificantly lowers the requirement for big, expensive hardware.
How performant is this solution?
Performance is difficult even in the runtime. Compiler engineers figured this out early on that through access to dynamic runtime information it's possible to transform code into a form that's usually faster using the host CPU's native instruction set.
For example, if you're a software engineer and you deploy a poorly optimized for loop, the compiler will look at that and say "I know what you're trying to do; let me help you do it better." That's how Security-as-Code is able to achieve a performance impact on average of 2%, with some scenarios seeing a lift in performance.
