The challenge

Five9's existing SCA tool produced an overwhelming volume of vulnerability alerts, leaving thousands of issues in backlog and making true risks hard to identify. The slow remediation pace threatened the company's uptime reputation, and a lean, one-person team had to secure a large codebase.

The solution

Five9 replaced its SCA platform with Endor Labs, prioritizing findings by reachability and integrating across its CI/CD and source-code-management systems. Automation and actionable, verifiable findings let a single engineer manage the program.

If it wasn't for reachability, this program would fail. A little extra effort up front to onboard is worth the deep application context we use every day.
