Shipping fast and secure is usually conflicting. As developers, we want to move quickly, innovate, and deliver value to users. But security alerts are usually disruptive — threatening to break features, delay releases, or cause integration headaches.
At Smithy, we believe security should work for developers, not against them. Smithy helps fix vulnerabilities faster, without derailing roadmaps or breaking your application.
Here’s how:
Smart Triage: No More Noise, Only Actionable Vulnerabilities
Instead of flooding teams with every minor vulnerability, Smithy acts as a first security filter.
- Context-aware filtering: Smithy understands which vulnerabilities are reachable, exploitable, and affect production — and hides the ones that don’t.
- Prioritized insights: You only see the fixes that truly matter to your app’s security and user safety.
- Risk-based grouping: Vulnerabilities affecting the same component are grouped together with clear fix recommendations.
🔹 Result: You work only on issues that are critical, ignoring false positives and low-risk noise.
Developer-Focused Remediation Workflows
Traditional security tools throw PDFs and CSV files at you. Smithy integrates directly with your existing workflows.
- Native integration with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket: Get security issues as PRs, tickets, or check-runs — wherever you already work.
- Auto-suggested fixes: For many vulnerabilities, Smithy suggests patches, safe version bumps, or direct configuration changes.
- Zero-friction pull requests: Auto-generated PRs are minimal and scoped — so you can review, merge, and move on in minutes.
🔹 Result: Fixing a critical vulnerability feels like reviewing a normal feature PR, not like opening a technical war room.
Safe Fix Validation Before Breaking Production
Smithy knows that a fix that breaks features is the opposite of a fix.
- Impact assessment: Before suggesting a fix, Smithy checks for potential dependency chain impacts.
- Test integration: Smithy can automatically trigger your existing CI/CD pipelines to validate fixes against your test suites.
- Safe rollout recommendations: For critical systems, Smithy suggests phased deployments, canary rollouts, or feature flag gating.
🔹 Result: Security fixes get validated just like your normal code changes — no more surprises at deploy time.
Real Metrics That Matter
Let’s agree on something. Dashboards suck. They are a point in time view of some data that matter to only one person.
We don’t throw dashboards at you. Smithy tracks and reports on metrics developers actually care about:
- Time-to-remediate per vulnerability cluster
- Percentage of fixes merged without rollback
- Security regression rates across sprints
🔹 Result: You can show real improvement in both security and development velocity — not just more reports nobody reads.
Why CTOs and Engineering Leaders Choose Smithy for Dev Teams
When security teams and developers collaborate well, everyone wins — faster shipping, better compliance, happier users.
Smithy enables this by:
- Reducing vulnerability noise
- Accelerating fix times
- Helping developers fix without fear of breaking production
Instead of another security “tax,” Smithy becomes a force multiplier for developer productivity and trust.
