 Sweet Security and Jit are partnering to bring application security teams deep visibility into vulnerability reachability, ensuring teams fix what truly matters—faster.

Cloud and application security analysts know that modern security demands both shift-left and shift-right measures. With this integration, organizations can bridge the gap between static code scanning and runtime insights, ensuring vulnerabilities are detected, prioritized, and remediated efficiently.

The Power of Sweet Security and Jit Together

Jit specializes in code scanning, identifying vulnerabilities at their exact locations, including specific files and repositories. Jit also determines who is responsible for addressing vulnerability issues. Meanwhile, Sweet Security provides runtime insights, offering a real-time view of whether vulnerabilities are actively exploited within an application’s runtime environment.

In a nutshell, Jit provides what you need to address and fix the problem, and Sweet Security knows how to prioritize the problem. The VP of Security at a Global Tech Company summarizes the benefits of the integration nicely:

“Understanding which vulnerabilities are truly exploitable in a live environment is a game-changer for security teams. By integrating Sweet Security’s runtime insights with Jit’s automated code vulnerability detection and triage, we’re empowering teams to cut through the noise and focus on the risks that matter most."

The bidirectional information exchange between Sweet Security and Jit ensures security teams have a complete understanding of their risk landscape:

Prioritize exploitable CVEs with the Sweet Security and Jit partnership.
  • From Jit to Sweet Security: Sweet gains automated enforcement of security policies within CI/CD pipelines, ensuring vulnerabilities are addressed before deployment. This includes comprehensive shift-left insights such as detailed vulnerability location (repository, file, and line number), identification of the responsible developer, and automatic remediation playbooks that streamline resolution before the code reaches production.
  • From Sweet Security to Jit: Jit enhances its findings with runtime vulnerability data, enabling contextual prioritization of risks and streamlined remediation efforts. With real-time runtime insights, teams can determine whether vulnerabilities are actively exploited, understand what workloads they impact, assess the business impact, and reduce noise—allowing security teams to focus on only the vulnerabilities that pose real risk.

Prioritize Vulnerabilities That Introduce Real Risk with Reachability Analysis

With this integration, Jit leverages Sweet Security’s runtime insights to determine if CVEs are actively loaded in an application’s memory. By identifying which vulnerabilities are truly exploitable, security teams can cut through the noise of long vulnerability backlogs and prioritize code security issues that introduce real risk.

How It Works:

  • Reachability Analysis: All reachable CVEs are flagged within Jit's platform, increasing the risk score of each security issue to keep the most critical risks at the top of your backlog.
  • Automated Triage: Security teams can automatically route reachable CVEs to the relevant development team, ensuring timely fixes and reducing the time to remediation.

Seamless Collaboration Between Development and Security Teams

By integrating Sweet Security with Jit, development and security teams can collaborate seamlessly, focusing on real risks and ensuring secure code deployment without compromising speed or efficiency.

Pairing Jit's automated security detection and triage with Sweet Security's runtime-powered insights provides developers and security teams with the context they need to resolve critical risks before they become breaches.
