When organizations scale in digital operations, security teams need to adopt a wide set of tools to fit a variety of cybersecurity needs. Multiple tools are deployed from code analysis to cloud security management to penetration testing, causing tool sprawl, higher cost and fragmented security processes. The complexity of this system not only renders it hard to manage the security posture of the teams, but it also raises the likelihood of protection gaps.
However, Prancer PenSuite AI solves these problems by aggregating several security tools under one single platform. Prancer takes a holistic and streamlined approach to security testing by integrating key security functionalities including SAST, SCA, CSPM, IaC security, secret scanning, DAST and pentesting. With this consolidation of technology, organizations can simplify their security stack, save on costs, and gain better visibility on all layers of their infrastructure.
In this blog post, we will walk through how Prancer PenSuite AI simplifies security operations through consolidating core security tools into a single platform and why this consolidated approach is a game changer for organizations looking to optimize their security process.
In the past, organizations have used distinct tools for Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Software Composition Analysis (SCA), and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) security. Separate management of these tools can be resource intensive resulting in inconsistent results and delays in remediation.
Prancer PenSuite AI consolidates these critical code-level security tools into one platform:
SAST: Prancer scans source code, to spot vulnerabilities as early as possible during development before the code gets deployed.
SCA: Prancer identifies known vulnerabilities in open source components and libraries so that security teams can prevent security risks in the software dependencies they use.
IaC Security: Prancer delivers robust infrastructure-as-code scanning for continuously automated cloud and infrastructure deployments, to ensure the use of security best practices.
When these tools are consolidated, security teams are able to manage their code security process from a single platform where they can identify and remediate vulnerabilities across the software development lifecycle.
Prancer unifies SAST, SCA, and IaC security, allowing faster identification and remediation of code-based vulnerabilities, simplifies workflow and reducing tool sprawl.
However, as organizations adopt cloud, they face new security challenges in securing complex, dynamic, multi cloud environments. A lot of people are still using dedicated Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) solutions and IaC security tools to ensure that cloud configurations are correct and don’t have any misconfigurations.
Prancer PenSuite AI offers full CSPM functionality built directly into the platform:
CSPM: Prancer continually observes cloud configurations and helps detect cloud misconfigurations that could put a cloud environment at risk of security vulnerabilities. It checks your cloud assets against security and compliance frameworks automatically and makes sure your infrastructure stays secure and compliant.
IaC Security Integration: Prancer integrates IaC security to guarantee the infrastructure and configuration templates used to build the cloud resource are secure. It means that misconfigurations don’t get into production in the first place.
Prancer’s CSPM & IaC capabilities in one platform enables security teams to stop juggling with multiple tools for cloud security. It consolidates cloud security management reducing the risk of misconfigurations, simplifying cloud security management and making it easier to comply.
Prancer is an end-to-end cloud security platform that consolidates CSPM and IaC security into one platform along with ensuring cloud resources are secure from development to deployment.
Traditionally, tools have taken responsibility for handling Static Application Security Testing (SAST) and Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST). SAST is about finding vulnerabilities in your source code, DAST is about finding vulnerabilities in your running application in real world conditions.
Prancer PenSuite AI unifies these two critical testing methodologies:
SAST: Earlier, I already mentioned that Prancer scans for vulnerabilities in source code before deployment.
DAST: Prancer also does dynamic testing on live applications and attack simulates on production like environment to find vulnerabilities.
With Prancer, both SAST and DAST are available in a single platform, so security teams can see the whole picture of application security, finding vulnerabilities in the codebase and runtime environment. This helps security teams to detect and patch vulnerabilities throughout the software lifecycle.
Combining SAST and DAST into a single platform offers security teams a whole application security solution, eliminating the need for multiple tools and enabling higher visibility through the entire lifecycle.
A leading cause of data breaches are secrets exposed like API keys, credentials, and tokens. Secret scanning tools are deployed to monitor code repositories themselves, but using separate tools for this can increase the complexity.
Prancer PenSuite AI includes built-in secret scanning as part of its consolidated security platform:
Secret Scanning: IaC templates, configuration files and code repositories are scanned for secrets and sensitive data, hardcoded or not. This means sensitive information will never be shown in code or within version control systems.
Automated Alerts: Prancer generates alerts when secrets are detected and helps teams remediating the exposure fast by rotating the credentials or storing sensitive data in secure vaults.
Prancer integrates secret scanning into a single platform, so all code is constantly checked for exposed secrets, lowering the risk of data breaches and streamlining security work.
Prancer’s built in secret scanning eliminates the need for separate secret scanning tools by stopping sensitive data exposure in code repository.
Pentesting and vulnerability assessments are usually separate tools for organizations. But managing these tools along with other security processes can result in fragmentation and complexity by the whole security strategy.
Prancer PenSuite AI offers automated, AI-powered pentesting as a core feature of its consolidated platform:
Simulated Attacks: Prancer is a platform for simulating real world attacks on infrastructure, application and cloud environments so that organisations can understand their exposure to target threat vectors.
AI-Powered Testing: Prancer is an AI backed pentesting workflow automation tool that correlates findings to prioritize remediation by risk.
Comprehensive Coverage: Prancer covers external and internal pentesting, testing all layers of the environment for vulnerabilities continuously.
Through Prancers unified platform, security teams can now pen test regularly as part of any ongoing security validation processes, without the need for standalone pen testing tools and with a continuous testing approach.
With Prancer, you get automated pentesting on a single platform, integrating vulnerability assessments and simulated attacks to get an end to end, continuous security testing.
The use of multiple security tools, however, requires some form of consolidation of reports and data from multiple sources. But this fragmentation typically results in a muddled reporting process, and a blurry view of the overall security posture.
Prancer PenSuite AI provides unified reporting across all security functions:
Centralized Dashboard: All of this is aggregated into a single dashboard that is accessible to security teams to manage risks in an easier way.
Automated Risk Prioritization: With AI, Prancer correlates risk, prioritizes them by severity and allows security teams to concentrate on the most serious vulnerabilities.
Customizable Reports: Prancer produces customizable reports for various stakeholders so that the technical and non-technical teams have a piece of the pie.
With all security processes consolidated into one platform, Prancer makes it easy for security teams to see their security posture and manage risk more effectively.
With Prancer’s unified reporting and centralized dashboard, Prancer gives you a 360 view of your organization’s security posture to help you make better decisions in risk management.
