If you’re building software, you’ve probably been burned by application security tools that promise the world and fail to deliver. Maybe they flood you with irrelevant alerts, break your builds, slow down your pipelines, or impose limits on when and how you can use them. Whatever it is, you don’t want hype; you want a tool that actually works.

SOOS is designed with developers in mind, because it was built by developers. Our founder had been the principal architect at a mid-sized startup before starting SOOS, without the time to review everything the team was doing and without the budget to afford the AppSec tools available. 

Out of that experience came the only application security platform that combines comprehensive scanning, ease of use, seamless integration, and no-nonsense pricing. Here’s what SOOS does differently:

Comprehensive Security Scanning

Many application security tools either miss real threats or bury you in noise. SOOS strikes the right balance by providing precise, actionable findings rather than overwhelming you with irrelevant alerts. SOOS flags known vulnerabilities and provides remediation paths to help you resolve them in fewer steps. And with the only patented, deep-tree scanning, SOOS catches issues other tools can’t by looking deep in your application’s dependency tree. 

The SOOS platform covers the full spectrum of application security, including:

1. Software Composition Analysis (SCA): Keep your code secure and compliant. SOOS SCA identifies vulnerabilities deep in your application’s dependency tree by scanning the “ingredients” comprising your code, then suggests fixes like an optimal upgrade path and checks your OSS license exposure to confirm you’re using open source software licenses properly.
2. Static Application Security Testing (SAST): Find security flaws in your code before applications go live. Detect vulnerabilities early and save time by managing SAST results in the same view as your other vulnerability and license issues. Simplify the security review process, auto-create tickets in your issue manager, and configure notifications to control what’s allowable and when you’re notified of issues.
3. Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST): Protect your production environments without burdening your devs. Automatically test your web apps and APIs for weaknesses on every build with no-limit, pipeline-integrated Dynamic Application Security Testing.
4. Container Security: Identify issues earlier with SOOS’s deep-tree scanning for your containers. Quickly pinpoint and prioritize fixes with business-specific and risk-based rules, and automatically create tickets in your issue manager to stay in your workflow.
5. SBOM Manager: Automate your software inventory. SOOS creates, ingests and manages your Software Bill of Materials and uses patented SCA and the largest open-source SBOM database to find hidden vulnerabilities, license issues, and dependencies sooner. There’s never been an easier way to comply with customer, investor, and regulatory demands.
6. License Analysis, Governance, and Compliance: Identify potential license conflicts and issues by scanning your SCA results and SBOMs against SOOS’s open source license database and your business requirements. Get notified immediately of any compliance problems that could create legal headaches and use SOOS to easily compare and find alternative libraries or components.
7. Application Security Posture Management and Reporting: Get a complete view of software risk while streamlining collaboration across teams. Manage vulnerabilities and compliance issues from all tools in one place with SOOS’s unified ASPM dashboard.

Built for Developers, Not Just Security Teams

Security shouldn’t be an obstacle. SOOS is designed to fit into your workflow rather than disrupt it. That means:

1. Simple Setup: No complex configurations or deep security expertise are required to start using SOOS.
2. Seamless Integration Into Your Dev Workflow: Good security tools work where you work. SOOS integrates with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, and more—so you can run security checks without leaving your CI/CD pipeline. It also supports REST APIs and CLI for full flexibility.
3. Clear, Actionable Insights: Easy-to-understand reports with role-specific visibility into security posture and current state.
4. No Hidden Costs and No Vendor Lock-In: Many security tools are either expensive, difficult to evaluate, or lock you into restrictive pricing models. SOOS offers a transparent pricing structure with no hidden fees and no forced enterprise contracts. You get the functionality you need, to try it before you buy it, and no surprises along the way.
5. Dedicated Support and Continuous Improvement: While you never need to talk to our team, we’re always there if you need us, with fast, knowledgeable support from real engineers, not just scripted responses. The platform is constantly improving, and regular updates are made based on user feedback.

Security Without Compromise

The best application security is security that works without having to think about it, unless or until issues are found. Many competitors of SOOS, like Veracode, Snyk, and Aikido, limit the number of scans you can do, which creates bottlenecks for teams trying to implement organization-wide security practices and automated application security. You can’t build scanning into your automated tests if you’re unsure if doing so will mean you exceed your scan limits or incur hidden costs. And you can’t be confident you’re catching every issue if you’re either relying on developers to track when and how often they’re scanning, or you’re only scanning sometimes. Additionally, automated application security ideally covers scanning code before it’s committed and scanning live applications for new potential vulnerabilities. Simply put, unlimited scanning is essential so you don’t have to choose to scan sometimes, and can rather build automated security checks in at every point, protecting your business as fully as possible and setting yourself up to catch issues as quickly as possible.

AppSec That Just Works

For teams looking for a practical, reliable, and developer-friendly application security platform, SOOS delivers. It integrates seamlessly with developer tools, catches issues other tools miss, and eliminates barriers to adoption with transparent pricing and strong support. If security is essential but traditional tools have been a pain, SOOS is worth your attention. Try SOOS today and let us know what you think.
