Your Complete AppSec Program, Fully Managed
Detection, verification, and remediation delivered as one program, stood up in days at one-fifth the cost of traditional solutions.
DefectDojo Managed AppSec pairs Sensei, our AI engine, with hands-on supervision from experienced application security engineers.
What Is DefectDojo Managed AppSec?
DefectDojo Managed AppSec is a turnkey application security program. Sensei handles the volume: parsing, deduplicating, and prioritizing findings across your entire stack. Our application security team handles the judgment: supervising every result, eliminating false positives, and confirming that what reaches your queue is real, exploitable, and worth your developers' time.
Testing spans SAST, DAST, SCA, secrets scanning, and penetration testing, orchestrated as a single program rather than a patchwork of disconnected tools. After a fix ships, Managed AppSec verifies it, so the loop from discovery to resolution actually closes.
The result is elite-level application security for organizations of any size, without the headcount, tool sprawl, or consulting engagements that have defined the industry for decades.
How DefectDojo Helps
Full-Range Scanning, One Program
SAST, DAST, SCA, secrets scanning, and penetration testing run as a single orchestrated program on the DefectDojo platform, with every finding aggregated, deduplicated, and prioritized in one place.
Human Verification on Every Finding
Our security engineers supervise Sensei's output and eliminate false positives before anything reaches your team. What gets reported is real, exploitable, and prioritized by actual risk.
Remediation You Can Prove
Sensei scans repositories and opens pull requests that fix vulnerabilities, and our team verifies each fix. Discovery to resolution is a closed loop, not an open ticket.
Why DefectDojo Managed AppSec
Built for the AppSec Talent Shortage
Security teams are understaffed and burning out while vulnerability counts climb. Managed AppSec gives you a complete program with zero additional headcount, so your team can focus on strategy instead of triage.
One-Fifth the Cost of Traditional Solutions
Combining AI-driven automation with targeted human expertise delivers outcomes that would otherwise require an army of security engineers, at a fraction of the price of traditional consulting engagements or in-house builds.
Running in Days, Not Quarters
Complete AppSec programs are stood up in days to weeks. Traditional programs take quarters or years to reach the same coverage.
Proven in the Hardest Environments
Before general availability, Managed AppSec spent a year in pilots with customers across financial services, healthcare, technology, and government, some of the most demanding application security environments in the industry.
Built on the Platform Practitioners Trust
Managed AppSec runs on DefectDojo, the open source vulnerability management platform that remediates at the speed of AI. Born from the OWASP community, DefectDojo supports 500+ tool integrations and has passed 50M+ downloads.
