oak9 Security as Code Features
Developer loved automation that drives security and compliance.

Security Reference Architectures as-Code
Leading Security as Code framework to tailor a security design for your cloud application. Avoid false-positives.
01
Architecture Meta-Model
Translate your cloud infrastructure into a detailed architecture meta-model, and vice versa for IaC changes. Even if changes involve dependencies across code blocks in distinct modular IaC files.
02
Bring Your Own Language
Define security and governance policies in your choice of programming language. Python, Typescript, Rust, Sentinel, OPA – whatever your language, oak9 is the only platform that will support them all.
03
Infra as Code Agnostic
Use your preferred Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools. Terraform, Cloud Formation, Kubernetes, etc. - even validate heterogeneous repositories with multiple IaCs at the same time. A first!
04
Cloud Agnostic
Don't have to build per cloud service provider (CSP), or per cloud. Apply security consistently across all CSP's - AWS, Azure, GCP, multi-cloud workloads, and environments.
05
Architecture Resource Graph
Deep visibility and access to your entire cloud application architecture through an interactive graph. Arbitrarily assess whatever you want, drill down into specific resources, areas, and more.
Automated Security Design Validation Across the SDLC
Validate your complete application architecture. Get out of the business of managing static rules.
01
Pre-Built SaC Blueprints
Out-of-the-box security reference architectures codified in oak9’s Security as Code framework. Move fast with requirements for CSA, NIST, CIS, AWS, Azure and more.
02
Intelligent Remediation
Others just detect. Real-time code feedback via pull requests to resolve security design gaps. Understand what the violation is, importance for fixing, and exactly how to remediate
03
Code Review Settings
Specify exactly how you want to see recommended code changes – select how often, what to include, and how to sort them. Control automation, fix, snooze, and make exceptions.
04
Drift Detection
Detect and remediate drift from intended architecture design. Starting as early as possible during design, all the way through post-deployment operations.
05
Native Integrations
Natively integrate across your development lifecycle without ever leaving your favorite tools – CPSs, IDEs, CI/CDs, code repositories, IaCs, and ChatOps tools.
Scalable Security for Complex Environments
Support heterogeneous multi-cloud environments and solve for complex use cases. Simplify developer and security life.
01
Multi-Cloud Support
Build a security reference architecture once and reuse everywhere across your multi-cloud deployment. As opposed to a single deployment, build once and quickly scale security policies.
02
Environments
One-stop view into security violations associated with each stage in your development. Quickly find secuirty gaps and differences between test, dev, stage, and production.
03
KPI Dashboard & Reporting
Drill down to understand findings by resource, compliance, criticality of security gaps, or over periods of time. Customize, discover patterns, and quickly export into shareable reports.
04
Multi-Tenant and SSO
Multi-tenant support and single sign-on to quickly and easily manage cloud native security among business units, or to better serve your own customers and partners.
Open-Source Security as Code Framework
Build, test, and deploy custom Security as Code blueprints in Tython. Innovate cloud native security.
01
Downloadable SDK and CLI
Test your own SaC module in less than 5 minutes. Install pre-requisites, clone the Tython repository, run a test, and publish. Easy peasy.
02
Open-Source Framework
Innovate cloud security and push the boundaries in Security as Code. Share and contribute your open Security as Code frameworks.
03
Publish, Version, Test
Rapidly prototype and test your custom Security as Code blueprints automatically. Publish, version, and test locally in less than 5 minutes.

Architecture Over Configurations
The scale and complexity of modern cloud architectures is enormous, and traditional security workflows are struggling to keep up. oak9 assesses your cloud native application holistically, in context with your architecture. Reduce false positives and stop managing cumbersome static policies.
