We are excited to release our Shift-Left Vulnerability Scanning, an enhanced feature that expands our scanning capabilities to support a wide range of programming languages. 

With this advanced functionality, you can now protect your code against potential vulnerabilities and security risks across Ruby, Python, PHP, Node.js, .NET, Java, and Go. This feature will enable developers to identify potential vulnerabilities earlier in the software development lifecycle and remediate them before they are exposed to malicious actors.

Shift-Left Vulnerability Scanning can be integrated into any continuous integration/continuous delivery (CICD) workflow. This allows developers to quickly identify security issues as they write code, enabling them to fix any errors before they become a problem. This feature is an essential tool in the DevSecOps toolkit, helping developers ensure their code is secure and remains compliant with security standards. 

Getting started with Plerion's Comprehensive Vulnerability Scanning is quick and straightforward:
1. Ensure your organization has an active subscription to Plerion's Protection platform.
2. Integrate the Vulnerability Scanning API into your existing development workflows and CI/CD pipelines.
3. Let Plerion automatically scan your codebase, identifying vulnerabilities and providing actionable insights for remediation.

With Plerion's Comprehensive Vulnerability Scanning, you can confidently enhance the security of your code across multiple programming languages. By addressing vulnerabilities at their core, you mitigate potential risks, protect your sensitive data, and maintain the integrity of your applications.

For detailed instructions and API references, please refer to our comprehensive documentation available in our resource center.

We are pleased to announce an exciting new feature for Plerion customers: Exporting Custom Reports! This feature lets customers quickly and easily export their custom reports to PDF.

With this new feature, customers can generate detailed reports of their data on demand with the Plerion custom report builder and export the report in PDF format and share it with their teams or stakeholders.

Enjoy a range of options for building custom reports across Metrics, Charts, Tables, and Lists from various data sources like Findings, Assets, Compliance, and Alerts. Then have your report exported to PDF for easy distribution.

To begin using Custom Report Builder, navigate to the report creation view by clicking on the Tenant settings menu and selecting "Custom Reports". Customize your reports by adding widgets that suit your data visualization needs. Once your report is ready, save it to start gaining valuable insights from your data.

We are excited to announce the launch of Plerion's new Workload AWS Service Account feature. This feature allows our customers to centrally manage and monitor their workloads scans across multiple AWS accounts, making identifying potential vulnerabilities easier and reducing the risk of security breaches.

Workload Service Accounts enables you to run security vulnerability scans easily, ensuring that all your cloud workloads are secure and compliant. This allows for greater control and visibility over any potential vulnerabilities that may be present due to misconfiguration or unauthorized access.

To start, head to your Tenant Inbound Integrations and choose "Workload AWS Service Account." You can easily migrate from the single same account to the new central Workload Service Account.

If you have any questions about the new feature, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at support@plerion.com. We would be more than happy

Webhooks provide a seamless way to deliver notifications to an external web server. With Plerion's Webhook Integration, customer can effortlessly add their webhook configurations to receive relevant alerts. Whenever a Plerion Alert is created, updated, or resolved, a request is sent to the webhook integration. This integration ensures customers stay connected and informed, enabling you to proactively address important events.

Traditionally engineers spend significant time searching across systems for actionable insights. This leads to the risk of overlooking crucial information, resulting in delays in resolving critical issues or responding to important events.

Plerion's Webhook Integration feature is one of the many platform offerings to tackle this problem. By leveraging webhooks, customers can now easily configure their own endpoint to receive automated notifications directly from our platform. This eliminates the need for manual alert checks or relying on periodic email digests. Instead, you'll receive instant notifications in your preferred system where you work, such as your team's communication channels, custom applications, or any other webhook-compatible service.

To get started, follow these simple steps:

1. Log in to your Plerion account
2. From the left-hand navigation bar, select Tenant Settings and click on Integrations
3. Click on the Outbound Tab and click on the + button against 'Webhook'
4. Provide the necessary details, such as the Webhook URL and any additional configuration options
5. Click on Add, and you're all set!

We are excited to announce the release of Custom Report Builder, a key feature designed to simplify data visualization.

Custom Report Builder is a data visualization tool allowing you to create custom reports tailored to your specific needs. Easily visualize and explore data from multiple sources using a variety of widgets. For instance, you can create a report that focuses on a specific integration, displaying the number of open alerts or a chart showcasing the consumption of Plerion units over time for that integration.

Data visualization has traditionally been a complex and time-consuming task. Extracting meaningful insights from raw data often requires specialized knowledge and resources. As a result, decision-makers struggle to communicate effectively and derive actionable insights from their data.

Custom Report Builder offers an intuitive solution to simplify data visualization. With an easy-to-use interface, you can effortlessly create custom reports that highlight key metrics and trends. By leveraging a range of widgets, such as charts, lists, and tables, you can visually represent and explore your data, empowering you to make informed decisions.

To begin using Custom Report Builder, navigate to the report creation view by clicking on the"Custom Reports" option in the settings menu. Customize your reports by adding widgets that suit your data visualization needs. Once your report is ready, save it to start gaining valuable insights from your data.

Custom Report Builder is your gateway to effortless data visualization and exploration.

This change is now completed and will be available within 24hrs in your Plerion account.
