The Power of Technology Consolidation with Prancer PenSuite AI

With the continued expansion of digital operations, security teams are increasingly expected to use an overwhelming variety of tools to cover various parts of their cybersecurity needs. Multiple tools are often deployed from code analysis to cloud security management, penetration testing and more, resulting in tool sprawl, higher costs and fragmented security processes. The difficulty of managing the security posture due to this complexity also means more possible gaps in protection. 

 

The Prancer PenSuite AI solves these issues by bringing together a range of security tools into one complete platform. Prancer achieves this by combining core security functionality, such as SAST, SCA, CSPM, IaC security, secret scanning, DAST, and pentesting into one single solution. This technology consolidation helps to reduce the complexity of security stacks organizations work with, reduce costs, and provide better visibility across all layers of the infrastructure. 

In this blog post, we will look at how Prancer PenSuite AI helps streamline security operations by combining important security tools into one platform, and why consolidating all things security into one platform is a game changer for organizations wanting to optimize their security processes. 

Consolidation of SAST, SCA, and IaC Security: All in One Place for Code Level Security!

Traditionally, organizations have relied on separate tools for Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Software Composition Analysis (SCA) and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) security. The resource intensive task of managing these tools separately can lead to inconsistent results and delays in remediating these incidents. 

 

Prancer PenSuite AI consolidates these critical code-level security tools into one platform: 

 

  • SAST: Prancer scans source code for vulnerabilities at the beginning of the development process, catching such security problems before the code is deployed.
     
  • SCA: Prancer helps security teams by identifying known vulns in open source components and libraries so no security risks can come from your software dependencies. 
  • IaC Security: Prancer uses robust scanning for infrastructure-as-code configurations to make sure security best practices are followed while automating cloud and infrastructure launches. 

Consolidating these tools makes it possible for security teams to manage their code security processes from a centralized platform facilitating the identification and remediation of vulnerabilities throughout the software development lifecycle. 

Key Benefit:

Prancer’s unified approach to SAST, SCA and IaC security provides faster identification and remediation of code vulnerabilities, reduces tool sprawl and simplifies workflows. 

The holistic approach to Cloud Security using CSPM and IaC Security.

Security challenges have emerged with cloud adoption, and organizations now need answers around how to secure their complex, dynamic, multi-cloud environments. A lot of people use dedicated Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) solutions and IaC security tools to manage cloud configurations and prevent misconfigurations. 

 

Prancer PenSuite AI offers full CSPM functionality built directly into the platform: 

 

  • CSPM: Prancer continuously monitors cloud environment and finds misconfigurations that could potentially expose cloud environment to security threats. It automatically scans cloud assets against security and compliance frameworks so you know your infrastructure is secure and compliant. 
  • IaC Security Integration: Prancer combines IaC security by ensuring that the template for the infrastructure and configuration templates used to deploy cloud resources are secure by design. That means: misconfigurations don’t even create until production. 

Through the integration of Prancer’s CSPM and IaC capabilities into one platform, security teams won’t have to juggle multiple cloud security tools again. Consolidation of multiple accounts helps reduce misconfigurations, ease cloud security management, and enhance its compliance. 

Key Benefit:

By bringing CSPM and IaC security together on one platform, Prancer delivers end-to-end cloud security by making sure that cloud environments are secure from development through deployment. 

One Platform for Dynamic and Static Application Security Testing (DAST and SAST)

Traditionally SAST tools and DAST tools have been treated as separate tools. SAST is an exercise that looks for vulnerabilities in source code; whereas DAST tests the running application for vulnerable in the real-world conditions. 

Prancer PenSuite AI unifies these two critical testing methodologies: 

 

  • SAST: That is because, as stated before, Prancer scans the source code for vulnerabilities before deployment. 
  • DAST: Dynamic testing also performed by Prancer runs inside live applications, simulating attacks to detect vulnerabilities in a productionlike environment. 

With both SAST and DAST, in a single platform, Prancer gives holistic view into application security, helps security teams find vulnerabilities in codebase and runtime environment. It is also a way of helping security teams to be able to find and fix issues at every stage of the software lifecycle. 

Key Benefit:

By consolidating SAST and DAST into a single platform, security teams can deliver a single application security tool for the entire lifecycle, minimizing the number of tools needed and increasing visibility. 

Secret Scanning: How to Prevent Data Leaks in Code Repositories

API keys, credentials, and tokens are the leading cause of data breaches when they’re exposed as secrets. Secret scanning tools are often deployed independently and used to scan code repositories; however, this adds an additional level of complexity. 

Prancer PenSuite AI includes built-in secret scanning as part of its consolidated security platform: 

 

  • Secret Scanning: IaC templates, code repositories, and configuration files are scanned for hardcoded secrets and sensitive data by Prancer. It makes sure that sensitive information is never revealed in code or version control systems. 
  • Automated Alerts: If the secrets are detected, Prancer alerts and assists teams to quickly remediate exposure of secrets by having them rotate credentials, storing sensitive data in a secure vault, or similar remedies. 

Prancer integrates secret scanning into a single platform where all code is always continuously monitored for exposed secrets, thereby lowering the risk of data breaches, and easing security operations. 

Key Benefit:

By consolidating SAST and DAST into a single platform, security teams can deliver a single application security tool for the entire lifecycle, minimizing the number of tools needed and increasing visibility. 

Comprehensive Pentesting: Simulated Attacks: Laid Out Across All Layers

Usually, penetration testing (pentesting) and vulnerability assessment require separate tools for an organization. As such, however, managing these tools alongside other security processes can fragment and complicate the overall security strategy. 

Prancer PenSuite AI offers automated, AI-powered pentesting as a core feature of its consolidated platform: 

 

  • Simulated Attacks: Through simulations of real world attacks on infrastructure, applications and cloud environments, Prancer helps organizations to assess their exposure to certain threat vectors. 
  • AI-Powered Testing: Prancer automates pentesting workflows using AI and correlates findings enabling you to prioritize remediation based on risk. 
  • Comprehensive Coverage: Prancer does external and internal pentesting and tests for all layers of the environment for vulnerabilities on a continuous basis. 

Prancer’s unified platform means security teams are now able to perform regular pentesting as an ongoing security validation process, not requiring standalone pentesting tools and continuous testing. 

Key Benefit:

Automated pentesting in a single platform, bringing together vulnerability assessments and simulated attack to give you continuous, integrated security testing. 

Reporting and Risk Management Unified

It is one of the challenges of having multiple security tools is you have to consolidate reports and data from multiple sources. This fragmentation more often than not contributes to inconsistent reporting and lack of clarity in terms of an overall security posture. 

 

Prancer PenSuite AI provides unified reporting across all security functions: 

 

  • Centralized Dashboard: A single dashboard is shared with security teams and consolidates findings from SAST, DAST, CSPM, secret scanning, IaC security and pentesting, making it easier to control risks. 
  • Automated Risk Prioritization: Security teams can now prioritize risks by severity and focus on the most critical vulnerabilities with Prancer’s use of AI to correlate and prioritize these risks. 
  • Customizable Reports: Prancer creates customizable reports for different stakeholders, allowing technical and non-technical teams to have the resources they need to make decisions. 

Prancer is the first centralized security platform that consolidates all security processes in a single platform, giving security teams a complete view across their security posture and making it easier to manage risk.
