Phoenix Security is now Phoenix Security a transformative Contextual Vulnerability management platform from code to cloud
Phoenix Security’s context-based vulnerability management platform helps clients focus on the 10% of vulnerabilities that matters, from code to cloud.
LONDON, LONDON, ENGLAND, EINPresswire.com/ — LONDON, England (January 10, 2023) – Phoenix Security is excited to announce that it has rebranded from Phoenix Security, reflecting the evolution of its smart software security platform.
Initially launched in September 2022 as a solution for appsec and cloudsec, Phoenix Security has since evolved into a complete endpoint management platform that identifies vulnerabilities from code to cloud and prioritizes them for resolution. The platform also provides traceability for user fixing, helping clients optimize their use of security professionals and streamline their vulnerability management process.
Phoenix Security is on a mission to prevent burnout, contextualize vulnerabilities, and help security professionals and developers act on the risks and vulnerabilities that matter most. The company was established to provide an effective all-in-one security solution for application developers and businesses, and its platform connects to repositories, scanners, and the cloud to provide a prioritized list of vulnerabilities that need to be addressed first. The rebranding to Phoenix Security reflects the expanded capabilities of the platform and aligns with the company’s philosophy of cyber risk quantification, risk-driven action, and vulnerability prioritization.
I’ve chosen phoenix as a name and a symbol of reborn, the choice was right as we evolve from application security, and cloud contextualization in full stack vulnerability prioritizing platform”
Francesco Cipollone
The decision to rebrand was made as the company approaches the end of its second year and prepares for the launch of V3, which introduces new features that enhance team visibility and streamline vulnerability management even further. “We initially chose the phoenix as a symbol of renewal and rebirth, and as our platform has evolved, we felt it was appropriate to evolve the name as well,”
Said Francesco Cipollone, the founder of Phoenix Security. “We believe in the power of community, so we asked our supporters to help us choose a new name that reflects the capabilities of our platform. The overwhelming response was in favour of Phoenix Security, and we are thrilled to adopt this new identity.” Discover how Phoenix Security helps CISOs and developers remove friction and maximize the use of DevSecOps professionals at Phoenix Security

Phoenix Security has completed its SOC 2 Type 2 report, reinforcing our ISO 27001 and data privacy commitments. Our Actionable ASPM helps teams cut noise and ship fixes that matter, powered by reachability analysis, contextual deduplication, and human-aligned AI agents. Customers like ClearBank, Bazaarvoice, and Integral Ad Science report double-digit reductions in criticals and massive time savings. If you need verifiable trust and faster remediation across code-to-cloud, Phoenix Security turns risk data into a single, prioritized backlog that engineering actually executes.
Most enterprises drown in vulnerability data yet starve for attribution. By mapping ownership, location, exposure, and business impact, Phoenix Security’s ASPM turns that swamp into a laser‑focused task list. Only then do three autonomous agents—Researcher, Analyzer, and Remediator—kick in, collaborating to recommend fixes and workflow automation that 10× security‑engineering output. Skip the context and you’ll waste money, requests, tokens, carbon, and human patience on hallucinated advice.
For startups, the focus is clear—establish visibility and ensure core security practices are in place. Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) tools provide a straightforward, automated approach to detecting vulnerabilities and enforcing policies. These solutions help reduce risk quickly without overburdening small security teams.
Mature organizations, on the other hand, are tackling a different set of problems. With the sheer number of vulnerabilities and an increasingly complicated threat landscape, enterprises need to fine-tune their approach. The goal shifts toward intelligent remediation, leveraging real-time threat intelligence and advanced risk prioritization. ASPM tools at this stage do more than just detect vulnerabilities—they provide context, enable proactive decision-making, and streamline the entire remediation process.
The emergence of AI-assisted code generation has further complicated security in both environments. These tools, while speeding up development, are often responsible for introducing new vulnerabilities into applications at a faster pace than traditional methods. The challenge is clear: AI-generated code can hide flaws that are difficult to catch in the rush of innovation. Both startups and enterprises need to adjust their security posture to account for these new risks. ASPM platforms, like Phoenix Security, provide automated scanning of code before it hits production, ensuring that flaws don’t make it past the first line of defense.
Meanwhile, organizations are also grappling with the backlog crisis in the National Vulnerability Database (NVD). A staggering number of CVEs remain unprocessed, leaving many businesses with limited data on which to base their patching decisions. While these delays leave companies vulnerable, Phoenix Security steps in by cross-referencing CVE data with known exploits and live threat intelligence, helping organizations stay ahead despite the lag in official vulnerability reporting.
Whether just starting their security program or managing a complex infrastructure, organizations need a toolset that adapts with them. Phoenix Security enables businesses of any size to prioritize vulnerabilities based on actual risk, not just theoretical impact, helping security teams navigate the evolving threat landscape with speed and accuracy.
Shai Hulud weaponised npm’s trust model: stolen maintainer creds, poisoned tarballs, and stealthy GitHub Actions that exfiltrate secrets and persist in CI. 500+ packages were touched in days, starting with @ctrl/tinycolor. This analysis maps the blast radius and delivers a practical remediation plan—pin versions, block direct npm with a proxy, rotate tokens, and strip backdoor workflows—grounded in ASPM and reachability.
Phoenix Security is redefining ASPM vulnerability management with ownership attribution, AI-driven remediation, and contextual noise reduction. Recognized as a Major Player in the IDC MarketScape, the platform connects DevSecOps, code-to-cloud security, and measurable business impact.
A coordinated npm compromise hit @ctrl/tinycolor and dozens of related packages. The payload auto-trojanizes maintainers’ projects, scans for GitHub/NPM/cloud creds using TruffleHog, plants a backdoor GitHub Actions workflow, and exfiltrates to a webhook. This piece breaks down the attack chain and lays out decisive DevSecOps and ASPM actions to contain and harden.
