Is Parameter a vulnerability scanner?

It does what you buy a scanner for, finding vulnerabilities across code, dependencies, cloud, and running apps, and then does the part a scanner leaves to you: proving which findings are real. Only exploitable, reachable vulnerabilities reach your queue.

How do you keep the queue short?

Every candidate finding is validated. Agents check whether vulnerable code is reachable, whether a misconfiguration is exploitable, and whether an exploit works. Anything that cannot be proven is dropped.

What about dependency advisories?

Reachability analysis checks whether your code ever calls the vulnerable function. Advisories that cannot affect you are filtered out. The ones that can arrive with a pull request bumping the package to a safe version.

Do we still need a scanner or a managed service alongside it?

For most teams this replaces the scanner stack and the triage that came with it. Teams with specialised scanners can keep them and use Parameter to validate what those report.

Can we use the output for compliance?

Yes. Every run produces reports mapped to SOC 2 and ISO 27001, and CycloneDX and SPDX SBOMs regenerate on every push.

Scanning, minusthe triage queue.

Agents scan code, cloud, and dependencies, then validate what they find. You receive the exploitable findings, each with a fix, and nothing else.

[ how it works ]

How managed vulnerabilityscanning works.

Scan everything

Code, dependencies, cloud configuration, and running applications, scanned on every release.

Validate every result

Is the vulnerable code reachable? Is the misconfiguration exploitable? Does the exploit work? Anything that fails these checks is dropped.

Deliver the fix

What survives lands ranked and assignable with a fix, often a pull request that bumps a package or patches the code.

[ coverage ]

Every surface a scanner covers.None of the noise.

The breadth of a scanner stack, in one continuous process and one queue.

Source code

Injection, access control, and secrets in your code, reviewed in every pull request before it merges.

Dependencies

Vulnerable and malicious packages across the dependency graph, with reachability analysis to drop advisories that cannot affect you.

Cloud configuration

Misconfigurations, exposed services, and IAM risk across AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure, with a Terraform fix for each.

Web apps and APIs

Running applications tested for the vulnerabilities attackers use, not fingerprinted for versions.

Secrets

Leaked keys, tokens, and credentials across repositories and git history, caught in new commits.

One queue

Every validated finding from every surface in one ranked list, with SBOMs and reports generated alongside.

[ definition ]

What is managed vulnerability scanning?

Managed vulnerability scanning means someone else runs the scanners and triages the results. At Parameter that someone is a set of agents. They scan code, dependencies, cloud configuration, and running applications on every release. Each finding is tested to see whether it is reachable and exploitable. Unproven results are dropped. What remains arrives with a fix.
