Runtime Threat Modeling

Prioritize Vulnerabilities Based on Real Exploitability and Business Impact

Heeler combines code-to-cloud visibility with runtime threat modeling to determine which vulnerabilities are exploitable in production and which pose real risk to the business.
Runtime Context for Real Risk

Understand How Risk Actually Exists in Your Applications

Automated Exploitability Analysis

Heeler combines runtime context with exploit intelligence to prioritize vulnerabilities based on real-world risk.
Mitigation Detection, Internet Exposure and Reachability
Analysis takes into account mitigations in code or cloud, Internet exposure, and runtime library reachability.
Business Impact
Understands service criticality, environmental boundaries, and service relationships.
Threat Intelligence
Exploit maturity, EPSS probability, and CVSS severity are combined to evaluate the likelihood of exploitation.

Code to Cloud Correlation

Every running service originates from a specific change in source code. Heeler automatically reconstructs this lineage across the entire environment.
Changeset-to-Deployment Traceability
Heeler traces deployed artifacts from containers, VMs, and serverless workloads back to the exact repository, project, and changeset that produced them.
Service Relationship Discovery
Heeler automatically maps service-to-service communication paths to reveal how applications function.
Zero Configuration Mapping
This mapping is created automatically without agents, tagging, CI/CD changes, or reliance on developer hygiene.

Clear Ownership

Connect every risk to the team responsible for fixing it.
Developer & Commit Attribution
Every deployment can be traced to the exact repository, branch, and developer commit responsible for introducing the change.
Monorepo-Aware Mapping
Heeler automatically segments monorepositories into individual projects and services, ensuring vulnerabilities are attributed to the correct team and application component.
Service & Application Ownership
Ownership defined at the application or service level propagates across deployments, ensuring every finding has a clear responsible team.

The Missing Context in Application Security

Traditional application security tools still analyze code in isolation, leaving teams without the context needed to understand real risk.

Findings Without Runtime Context

Rapidly changing application components, APIs, and services make manual threat modeling impossible to keep up with.

Endless Manual Investigation

Security teams spend significant time researching vulnerabilities across tools just to determine whether they are exploitable.

Ownership is Difficult to Determine

In complex environments, especially those using microservices and monorepos, it’s often unclear which team owns the affected service or where the vulnerable code originated.
Benefits

Prioritization Built on How
Applications Actually Run

Focus on Exploitable Risk

Heeler identifies vulnerabilities that attackers could realistically reach through mitigation detection, Internet exposure, and library usage.

Align Security and Engineering

Clear ownership, monorepo-aware mapping, and service-level context ensure vulnerabilities are routed to the teams best equipped to fix them, reducing friction and accelerating remediation.

From Theoretical to Practical

Instead of relying on theoretical assumptions and speculative models, security teams now work with real-world data derived from the live application, making threat models far more accurate and actionable.
