A Resolution Platform bridges the gap between vulnerability detection and code remediation — automating triage and generating validated fixes that developers merge.
Trusted by Fortune 500 security teams across financial services, retail, and technology
A Resolution Platform is a security architecture layer that bridges the gap between vulnerability detection and code remediation. It automates triage — filtering 80%+ false positives through exploitability analysis — and generates context-aware code fixes that match your codebase conventions, validates changes through multi-layer testing, and delivers fixes as native pull requests. The result: mean time to remediate drops from 252 days to hours.
The enterprise security industry invested billions in finding vulnerabilities. It worked. Organizations now run an average of 5.3 scanning tools — SAST, SCA, DAST, container scanning, and more. Each one finds thousands of issues.
The problem is what happens next. Or rather, what does not happen next.
66% of organizations have more than 100,000 vulnerabilities in their backlog (Ponemon Institute, 2024). Critical flaws sit unpatched for an average of 252 days (Veracode State of Software Security, 2024). Scanners report 71-88% false positive rates (Black Duck 2025, JFrog 2025), which means AppSec teams spend the majority of their time investigating findings that turn out to be noise.
The math is simple and unsustainable:
This is not a detection problem. Detection is solved. It is a resolution problem.
Twenty years of investment in finding vulnerabilities produced a generation of security tools that are excellent at generating alerts and terrible at eliminating them. The gap between detection and resolution is the single largest structural failure in enterprise application security.
Every mature enterprise security program has three established layers. The fourth is missing.
Secure coding training, security champions programs, architectural guardrails. Purpose: reduce the number of vulnerabilities introduced. Market maturity: established.
SAST, SCA, DAST, container scanning, secrets detection. 5.3 tools per team on average. Multi-billion-dollar category with Snyk, Checkmarx, Veracode, SonarQube, Fortify, and dozens more.
SIEM, SOAR, incident response platforms. Detect and respond to attacks in production. Well-established analyst frameworks and billion-dollar vendors.
Automated triage and remediation. Eliminates false positives, generates validated code fixes, and delivers them in developer workflows. No Gartner Magic Quadrant. No established vendor category. This is the gap.
The Resolution layer is the reason 66% of organizations have six-figure vulnerability backlogs despite spending millions on detection. Detection finds the problems. Resolution fixes them.
A Resolution Platform operates in four stages. Each stage addresses a specific failure point in the current vulnerability management workflow.
Connect to any vulnerability scanner — SAST, SCA, DAST, or container scanning — via SARIF import or native integration. A Resolution Platform is scanner-agnostic by design. It does not replace your detection tools. It makes them useful by acting on their output. Leading platforms integrate with 50+ scanning tools including SonarQube, Snyk, Checkmarx, Veracode, Semgrep, CodeQL, Fortify, and more.
50+ integrationsAI-powered investigation eliminates false positives before any fix is generated. This is not simple reachability analysis. It is exploitability analysis — determining whether an attacker can actually exploit a vulnerability in your specific environment by analyzing code execution paths, authentication boundaries, internet-facing exposure, and existing defensive layers.
80% false positive reductionContext-aware code generation produces fixes that match your codebase conventions. The platform understands your validation libraries, error handling patterns, architectural decisions, and coding style. Fixes are validated through static analysis, dynamic testing, and test suite execution before being proposed.
76% developer merge rateFixes arrive as native pull requests in your existing workflow — GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or Azure DevOps. No new tools to learn. No separate interface. Developers review code changes using the same process they use for any PR. The platform never auto-commits. Developer review is always preserved.
Watch automated triage and remediation transform your scanner findings into verified, merge-ready fixes.
Schedule Demo →Complementary, not competitive. Detection tools find vulnerabilities. Resolution Platforms fix them.
| Capability | Detection Tools (SAST/SCA/DAST) | Resolution Platform |
|---|---|---|
| Finds vulnerabilities | Yes | Ingests from detection tools |
| Eliminates false positives | No — 71-88% FP rate (Ponemon) | ✓ 80% reduction via exploitability analysis |
| Generates code fixes | No | ✓ Context-aware, convention-matching |
| Validates fixes before delivery | No | ✓ Static + dynamic + test validation |
| Delivers to developers | Tickets, reports, dashboards | Native pull requests |
| Developer merge rate | N/A (manual fix required) | 76% (accepted without modification) |
| Time to remediate | 252 days average (Veracode SOSS) | Hours |
| Learns from developer feedback | No | ✓ Reinforcement from merge/reject decisions |
The relationship is complementary, not competitive. Detection tools are essential. They identify the vulnerabilities that exist in your codebase. A Resolution Platform makes those detection tools more valuable by acting on their findings at scale.
ADR (Application Detection and Response) is a different category addressing a different problem. The two are complementary.
| Dimension | ADR | Resolution Platform |
|---|---|---|
| Primary function | Detect and respond to attacks at runtime | Triage and remediate code vulnerabilities |
| When it acts | Runtime — in production | Pre-production — in development workflow |
| What it changes | Blocks or monitors traffic | Changes source code |
| Developer involvement | None — security-only tool | Developers review and merge fixes |
| Backlog impact | None — does not fix root cause | Directly reduces vulnerability backlog |
| Attack surface reduction | Temporary — shields the vulnerability | Permanent — eliminates the vulnerability |
ADR protects. Resolution Platforms cure. Organizations with mature security programs use both. ADR handles runtime threats while Resolution Platforms systematically eliminate the code vulnerabilities that create those threats.
Your backlog is 100,000+ and growing. 5.3 tools detect but cannot keep up with fixes. Board wants measurable risk reduction. 252-day MTTR is regulatory liability under EU CRA and SEC. A Resolution Platform delivers the metric you need: backlog trending to zero with auditable evidence.
Your analysts spend the majority of their time on manual triage. You are the bottleneck between scanners and developers. A Resolution Platform automates triage — reducing false positive noise by 80% — and delivers fixes directly as PRs.
Security tickets get deprioritized as JIRA items competing with product work. Developers lose hours each week to security toil. A Resolution Platform delivers fixes as pull requests — the format developers already work in. 76% merge without modification.
A team of 14 supporting 500 developers. Findings “go back to us” but do not get triaged. A Resolution Platform handles triage and fix generation at a scale impossible to do manually. Focus on strategic security work instead of alert toil.
Building your own Resolution Platform sounds reasonable — until the numbers surface. 65% of AI development costs materialize after deployment — ongoing maintenance, model drift, edge case handling, and integration updates. 35% of large custom software projects are abandoned before completion (Standish Group CHAOS, 2024). And the “zombie tool” problem — internal tools that technically work but that no one maintains or improves — is endemic in enterprise security engineering.
Before committing engineering resources to building what already exists, consider the full cost of ownership.

|---|---|---|---|
| Mean time to remediate | 252 days | Hours to days | Veracode SOSS 2024 / Pixee |
| False positive rate | 71-88% | Reduced by 80% | Ponemon / Black Duck 2025 / Pixee |

| Backlog trajectory | +11 net new per app/month | Trending to zero | Contrast Security / Pixee |
These are not theoretical projections. The “without” column reflects published industry benchmarks from Veracode, Ponemon Institute, and Contrast Security. The “with” column reflects measured outcomes from Resolution Platform deployments.
The security industry has spent two decades and billions of dollars getting better at finding vulnerabilities. The missing architectural layer — the one that actually resolves them — is what a Resolution Platform provides.
