Amidst the trend of digital transformation, companies are required to speedily provide services and products that utilize the power of digital technology to the market, and improve their competitiveness through a high-speed improvement loop. On the other hand, ensuring the security of services and products is extremely important from the perspective of business continuity, and among them, dealing with security vulnerabilities, which are increasing day by day, is one of the most important activities.

However, it is difficult for the software development team to investigate and deal with all the vulnerabilities that are detected in large numbers, and it takes a huge amount of man-hours. Inhibition of speed" problem is becoming apparent in many companies.
In order to solve these problems, it is necessary to identify the vulnerabilities that pose a real risk to the company, and quickly conduct triage such as determining the need for countermeasures and prioritizing them, thereby achieving both security risk reduction and speed. is needed.

Therefore, at Macnica, we leverage the cybersecurity know-how we have cultivated through our security business and our knowledge of software development and cloud-native technology gained through our DevOps-related business to automatically identify vulnerabilities detected by companies using vulnerability scanner tools. With the cooperation of multiple customers, we have developed "LeanSeeks," a vulnerability risk triage platform that allows for targeted and quick triage, and will begin offering it as a SaaS-type service.
