Pixee: The Automated Product Security Engineer

Introduction

Overview  

Pixee is an application security platform designed to lift the security burden from developers. It was created by former leaders from the cybersecurity firm Contrast Security to revolutionize how code vulnerabilities are fixed. The platform operates like an expert security-focused teammate, automatically identifying, triaging, and, most importantly, fixing security issues directly in a developer's workflow. The core value of Pixee is its shift from simply reporting security problems to actively providing the code changes to solve them.

Product Features  

  • The platform's key feature is its ability to deliver automated, production-ready code fixes for security vulnerabilities.
  • It provides expert triage for security alerts from SAST (Static Application Security Testing) and other scanners, filtering out false positives and prioritizing real issues.
  • The "pixeebot" integrates directly into your version control system (like GitHub) and submits fixes as pull requests, just like a human team member.
  • It hardens code automatically, enabling developers to ship secure code faster without sacrificing productivity.
  • For enterprise clients, it offers self-hosted deployment options to ensure a company's source code never leaves its own environment.

Use Cases  

  • A developer can have the platform automatically review their pull requests and receive immediate, automated code suggestions to fix any identified security flaws.
  • An application security team can use the tool to automate the "last mile" of their work, moving from vulnerability alerts to actual remediation.
  • A company can continuously monitor its code repositories and have the pixeebot proactively harden the code against new threats.
  • An engineering team can unlock the speed of AI-assisted code generation while ensuring the code produced is secure.

User Benefits  

  • It dramatically accelerates the vulnerability remediation process.
  • The platform frees up developers from the time-consuming and specialized work of fixing security bugs.
  • It improves the overall security posture of an application by providing continuous, automated code hardening.
  • By delivering fixes as pull requests, it fits seamlessly into existing developer workflows without causing distractions.
  • It helps to bridge the gap between development speed and security requirements.

FAQ  

  • How does Pixee fix the code? It uses a combination of deep security expertise, deterministic code transformations (codemods), and agentic AI systems to analyze vulnerabilities and generate the correct, secure code to fix them.
  • Is this a replacement for our existing security scanners? No, it's a complementary tool. It is designed to integrate with and work on the alerts from your existing code scanning tools, automating the triage and remediation of the findings.
  • Is my source code secure with Pixee? Yes, security is a top priority. The platform is SOC 2 compliant, and all data is encrypted in transit and at rest. For maximum security, they also offer private cloud or fully self-hosted deployment options for enterprise customers.
  • What programming languages are supported? The platform supports a range of popular languages, including Java, Python, JavaScript, and Go.
  • How is the pricing structured? Pricing is typically a per-contributor, per-month subscription model. They offer different tiers for teams and large enterprises, with the enterprise plan including features like unlimited integrations and self-hosting.
