About Zapier
Zapier is a workflow automation and application integration platform that helps individuals and organizations connect web-based apps, automate business processes, and orchestrate AI-enabled workflows. As a remote-first company serving teams from SMBs to large enterprises, Zapier operates at a pace and scale where security must keep up with rapid product iteration—without slowing developers down.
“For Zapier, security is a business accelerator: it’s what allows teams to automate faster, integrate more tools, and adopt AI responsibly. Corgea strengthens our ability to stay ahead of emerging risk while keeping our customers’ workflows—and their data—protected.”
Zeeshan Khadim - Head of Security
The Problem
Zapier’s security team had strong intent: identify vulnerabilities early and reduce risk across a large engineering org. But their scanning stack—primarily open-source scanners (and trials of commercial tools)—created a painful reality:
False positives eroded trust. Developers repeatedly hit findings that weren’t actionable or weren’t real.
Security became “noise.” Over time, engineers learned to discount scanner output, even when real issues were present.
A broken experience at scale. With ~300 developers, the volume of low-signal findings created friction, slowed remediation, and weakened the collaboration loop between security and engineering.
The outcome: even with scanning in place, Zapier wasn’t getting the developer engagement or risk reduction they needed—because developers didn’t trust the tools.
The Solution
Zapier replaced their open-source scanners with Corgea, standardizing on a solution designed to deliver high-signal findings and a workflow developers would actually use.
Key elements of the rollout:
Swapped noisy scanners for Corgea’s higher-precision detection
Made findings developer-friendly through an interaction model developers could engage with directly (including the Corgea agent)
Focused on credibility first: ensure findings were consistently real and actionable so trust could rebuild organically
“We’re always looking for ways to improve security that developers will actually use. Corgea gives us clear, actionable findings and a workflow that supports collaboration, so fixes happen faster and stick.”
Kase Cannon - Director of Software Engineering
The Results
After adopting Corgea, Zapier saw a clear shift in both security outcomes and developer experience:
High true positive rate: Findings were consistently credible, rebuilding confidence in security outputs.
Deeper detection quality: Corgea flagged logic-level findings that aligned with issues seen in earlier pentests.
Improved developer experience: Developers across the org interacted with Corgea and the Corgea agent as part of the normal workflow.
No more false-positive fatigue: Developers stopped complaining about false positives, replacing skepticism with engagement.
Bottom line: Zapier moved from “scanner noise” to a security workflow developers trust—improving remediation velocity and strengthening security posture without adding friction.
