Perfai Security

Product Introduction

1. Definition: Perfai Security is an autonomous, AI-powered application security testing platform specializing in runtime access control and authorization vulnerability detection. It operates as a black-box, agent-based security suite for modern web applications.
2. Core Value Proposition: It exists to automatically find and fix live vulnerabilities—specifically Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA), privilege escalation, and broken authentication—in applications built with AI-coding tools (like Cursor, Replit, Claude Code) and traditional frameworks, enabling developers to achieve production-ready security in minutes without manual expertise.

Main Features

1. Vision Agent (App Mapping): This agent autonomously crawls and interacts with a live application to dynamically map its entire attack surface. It discovers every UI route, API endpoint, user role, data type, and permission combination without requiring source code access. For a medium-sized app, it can map thousands of permission combinations in minutes.
2. Security Agent (Contextual Attack Testing): Leveraging the map from the Vision Agent, this AI agent generates and executes thousands of bespoke, contextual exploit tests tailored to the specific application. It simulates real-world attack patterns to identify vulnerabilities like cross-tenant data leaks, privilege abuse, and shadow API functionality.
3. Fix Agent (Automated Remediation): This agent closes the security loop by packaging vulnerability context, reproduction steps, and a precise fix suggestion directly into the developer's existing AI coding assistant (e.g., Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code). It then automatically re-runs security tests to verify the patch resolves the issue, dramatically reducing mean time to remediation (MTTR).
4. Continuous Coverage & Integrations: The platform integrates natively into CI/CD pipelines and developer workflows. It automatically detects code commits, re-maps the changed application surface, re-generates relevant tests, and executes them. Findings and fixes are routed to tools like Slack, Microsoft Teams, Linear, Jira, and cloud storage (S3) via OAuth-based integrations.

Problems Solved

1. Pain Point: Manual penetration testing and bug bounty programs are slow, expensive, and provide only point-in-time coverage, leaving apps vulnerable between scans. This is exacerbated for fast-iterating, AI-generated codebases.
2. Target Audience: Primary personas include Vibe Coders (developers using AI-native platforms like Replit, v0, Bolt), Application Security Engineers seeking CI-native, black-box testing, and Enterprise Security Teams in the Global 2000 requiring continuous, audit-ready compliance (SOC 2, ISO 27001) for modern applications.
3. Use Cases: Essential for securing multi-tenant SaaS applications to prevent data leakage between customers, verifying role-based access control (RBAC) in complex applications, and providing continuous security validation for applications that are rapidly developed or modified by AI coding assistants.

Unique Advantages

1. Differentiation: Unlike traditional Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) tools, Perfai Security uses AI agents to understand application context and behavior, allowing it to find complex business logic and authorization flaws that legacy scanners miss. It outperforms once-a-year pentests by providing continuous, autonomous testing.
2. Key Innovation: The platform's core innovation is its closed-loop, three-agent AI system (Map → Attack → Fix → Verify) that operates autonomously on live applications. This runtime-focused "security lens" complements static code analysis, and its Fix Agent's direct integration with AI coding tools is a unique remediation workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How does Perfai Security work without access to my source code? Perfai Security operates as a black-box testing platform. Its Vision Agent interacts with your live, running application (via a provided URL) just like a human user or attacker would, dynamically mapping endpoints, roles, and data flows to build a complete security test model.
2. What types of vulnerabilities does Perfai Security primarily detect? The platform specializes in identifying runtime access control vulnerabilities, most notably Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA), Broken Function Level Authorization (BFLA), privilege escalation, broken authentication, and sensitive data exposure across multi-tenant application boundaries.
3. Can Perfai Security automatically fix the vulnerabilities it finds? Yes, through its Fix Agent. It does not directly modify code. Instead, it delivers detailed vulnerability context and a suggested code patch directly to your connected AI coding assistant (e.g., Cursor, Copilot), which can then implement the fix. The agent subsequently re-tests to verify the issue is resolved.
4. How is Perfai Security different from a traditional SAST or DAST tool? Static Application Security Testing (SAST) analyzes source code for patterns, while legacy DAST performs generic, unauthenticated crawling. Perfai Security uses AI to perform deep, contextual, and authenticated testing of an application's runtime behavior, making it highly effective at finding business logic and complex authorization flaws that other tools overlook.
5. Is Perfai Security suitable for compliance reporting (SOC 2, ISO 27001)? Yes. The platform generates audit-ready PDF reports that classify findings by severity, map them to standards like OWASP API Top 10, CVSS scores, CWE IDs, and compliance frameworks including SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and HIPAA, providing continuous evidence for security controls.
