Announcing Corgea's GitHub App for automated PR fixes

March 21, 2024

At Corgea, we understand the challenges small to mid-sized companies face in maintaining secure code, especially when dedicated security engineering resources may be limited or non-existent. That’s why we’ve introduced designed a way to bring enterprise-level security into your development workflow seamlessly. Meet the new Corgea GitHub app - a powerful tool that acts as your in-house security engineer, reviewing your work and suggesting fixes for vulnerabilities as they arise.

Why Did We Build This?

The inception of the Corgea GitHub app was driven by a simple yet profound realization: every development team, regardless of size, deserves to have top-tier security measures in place without the overhead of complex implementations or the need for specialized security personnel. Our goal was to create a solution that not only identifies vulnerabilities but also provides actionable insights and fixes, making secure coding accessible for everyone. This app is our answer to the growing need for a more proactive approach to code security, empowering teams to catch and address potential vulnerabilities before they become critical issues.

How It Works

Integrating Corgea into your development process is straightforward and efficient:

  1. Install the GitHub App: Start by adding the Corgea app to your GitHub organization. This step integrates our tool directly into your development environment, setting the stage for automated security reviews.

  2. Authenticate with GitHub: Use your GitHub credentials to authenticate and link your Corgea account. This secure connection allows our app to access your pull requests and conduct thorough security scans.

  3. Automatic Vulnerability Scans and Fixes: Once set up, Corgea scans each pull request for potential vulnerabilities and suggests actionable fixes for identified issues, streamlining the remediation process and ensuring your code remains secure without disrupting your workflow.

Who Is It For?

Corgea is the ideal partner for small to mid-sized companies looking to bolster their code security without the hefty investment in Static Application Security Testing (SAST) scanners or additional security staff. If you're a team that values security but finds existing solutions either out of reach or overly complex, our GitHub app is for you. Moreover, for companies that are already leveraging a SAST scanner but seek to enhance their security workflows further, Corgea offers an even more fitting integration with our GitHub Action for your repos.

Conclusion

The Corgea GitHub app is more than just a tool; it’s a commitment to secure coding practices, designed to fit seamlessly into your development lifecycle. By automating the detection and resolution of security vulnerabilities, we not only safeguard your projects but also free your team to focus on what they do best: building great software. You can install it today to focus on growth.
