• "Gupta says that ShiftLeft achieved 75 percent on Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Benchmark for Security Automation — the highest score ever recorded — and that it enables the average developer to analyze 500,000 lines of code in less than 10 minutes,"

• "ShiftLeft’s core security-as-a-service offering obviates the need for traditional code-checking security software, Gupta claims, because it conducts a study of apps’ and services’ code and dependencies before runtime and creates an “agent” that protects against exploits as they crop up. It supports virtual machines, cloud infrastructure, containers, and other environments, and automatically identifies external data leakages and shields new versions of programs as they’re deployed."
