Common Questions About Staris

Yes you have complete control over the scope and actions Staris takes ensuring it never performs an action against your environment you didn't approve.

Staris analyzes application code and behavior to validate exploitability, but deployment options allow organizations to retain full control of their source code and infrastructure. Staris can run within customer-controlled environments, ensuring sensitive data remains secure and isolated.

No. Staris does not train its models on customer application code or sensitive data. Staris analyzes applications solely to validate security and provide remediation guidance, and customer data remains isolated within the deployment environment.

Yes. Staris supports deployment in private VPC and fully self-hosted environments, allowing organizations with strict security and compliance requirements to run Staris entirely within their own infrastructure.

‍

Staris complements or replaces traditional SAST and DAST tools by validating vulnerabilities in business context and confirming exploitability. This reduces false positives and improves remediation prioritization.

‍

Staris performs the core function of penetration testing by identifying exploitable vulnerabilities continuously, automatically, and at significantly greater scale and speed.

‍

Traditional scanners generate potential vulnerabilities without validating exploitability. Staris confirms real risk by proving exploitability and providing precise remediation guidance, eliminating false positives.

Staris replaces traditional penetration testing, vulnerability scanners, and manual validation workflows by continuously discovering and proving real exploitable vulnerabilities using AI-driven analysis.

‍

Verified vulnerabilities are security issues Staris has successfully exploited, eliminating false positives and ensuring real-world risk relevance.

Each tier maps to a different security maturity and delivery cadence. Professional supports periodic validation, Premium enables regular validation integrated into the SDLC, and Enterprise adds scale, governance, and deployment controls required by complex organizations.

Staris prices per test, similar to how organizations consume human expert testing today. Staris focuses on identifying provable, exploitable issues in real business context. Our pricing model ensures costs reflect meaningful security validation rather than the number of findings generated. Each test may run multiple scans with various tools depending on the context of the application and the number of validation passes required.

Staris pricing is aligned to the way most security teams consume security testing today, per test engagement. Our goal is to significantly accelerate the time to complete each test and significantly reduce the time a human tester spends on each test.

Staris identifies exploitable vulnerabilities including authentication flaws, authorization bypasses, business logic weaknesses, and complex multi-step attack paths that traditional scanners cannot detect.

Staris is used by application security leaders, product security teams, and engineering organizations that need continuous security validation without slowing development velocity.

Staris offers business-hours support for Professional plans and priority Slack and email support for Premium and Enterprise customers.

Professional is designed for periodic testing, Premium supports continuous validation with advanced automation, and Enterprise adds governance, deployment flexibility, and volume scaling.

Staris provides actionable remediation guidance mapped directly to the exploited vulnerability, including root cause, impact, and code-level recommendations.

Staris AI is a continuous application security validation platform that confirms exploitable vulnerabilities using AI-driven attack simulation.

Yes. Staris is built for teams that ship frequently and need security validation aligned with their release cadence.

Staris can run on-demand or continuously, depending on your plan and integration configuration. Most customers execute a test for each release cycle.

Yes. Staris follows modern security best practices, supports private deployments, does not train on any customer data, and never exposes customer data outside authorized environments.

Staris supports flexible deployment models to meet enterprise security requirements. Staris can be deployed as a secure SaaS platform, within a customer-owned private VPC, or in fully isolated self-hosted environments. This allows organizations to validate application security without exposing sensitive source code or infrastructure outside their control.

‍

Staris AI provides continuous security validation through verified exploitation and contextual remediation guidance.

Yes. Staris supports role-based access control (RBAC) and single sign-on (SSO) in Premium and Enterprise plans.

Yes. Staris AI is highly customizable. You can configure test methodology, scan frequency, authentication flows, RBAC policies, and deployment models (SaaS or private VPC) to match your application architecture and security requirements.

Staris AI simulates real attacker behavior against your application, executes controlled exploits, and confirms only real, exploitable vulnerabilities with contextual remediation guidance.

Staris can replace the majority of traditional manual penetration testing for application-layer security by continuously validating exploitable vulnerabilities in running applications, reducing the need for recurring manual engagements. Certain assessment types—such as black-box network scanning and firmware analysis—are still in progress and expected to be supported in upcoming releases.

‍

Yes. Staris integrates directly with CI/CD pipelines so security validation can run automatically as part of your software delivery lifecycle.
