Kiuwan

Kiuwan is a sophisticated application security platform part of the Idera, Inc. portfolio, designed to provide deep-tier visibility into software risks. Its architecture is built around two primary pillars: Static Application Security Testing (SAST) and Software Composition Analysis (SCA). In the 2026 market, Kiuwan distinguishes itself through its Hybrid Cloud model, allowing enterprises to scan code locally via the Kiuwan Local Analyzer (KLA) while managing results and governance in a centralized cloud dashboard. This ensures that sensitive source code never leaves the client's infrastructure. The platform supports over 30 programming languages, ranging from modern frameworks like React and Go to legacy systems like COBOL and ABAP. A key technical advantage is its 'Action Plan' engine, which uses proprietary algorithms to calculate the cost and effort required to remediate security debt, allowing CISOs to prioritize fixes based on business impact rather than just severity. As organizations transition to AI-augmented development, Kiuwan has integrated AI-driven remediation suggestions that provide context-aware code patches, significantly reducing the Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) for critical vulnerabilities.
