What is Seal Security?
Seal Security is an AppSec Remediation Agent that delivers real, human-vetted, production-ready fixes for open source vulnerabilities. Unlike traditional security tools that only identify or prioritize vulnerabilities, Seal actually fixes them by providing standalone, backported security patches that are fully compatible with existing versions of open source packages. This allows teams to patch vulnerabilities without forced upgrades or breaking changes.
Key features include one-click patching for critical and high vulnerabilities within 72 hours of public disclosure, support for all major programming languages (Java, Python, JavaScript, C/C++, Go, PHP, C#, Ruby) and package managers (Maven, Gradle, PyPI, npm, Yarn, Composer, NuGet, and more), and coverage across the entire stack from application dependencies to Linux packages in containers to post-EOL bare metal devices. Seal integrates with GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, and major SCA tools like Snyk, BlackDuck, GitHub Advanced Security, as well as vulnerability scanners including Wiz, Trivy, StackRox, and Grype.
The solution is designed for security and engineering teams who want to remediate open source vulnerabilities without slowing down development. It helps organizations maintain compliance with FedRAMP, PCI DSS 4.0, NYDFS, HITRUST, and DORA, while securing end-of-life environments like CentOS and RHEL 6. Each patch undergoes expert security review, extensive automated testing, and AI validation to guarantee build safety.
Seal Security is ideal for organizations dealing with alert fatigue from vulnerability scanners, teams struggling with breaking changes from forced upgrades, companies needing to meet strict compliance SLAs, and those with legacy systems or EOL libraries marked as 'unfixable' by traditional scanners.

Frequently asked questions about Seal Security
What is Seal Security and how does it work?
Seal Security delivers one-click, backported, fully compatible patches for existing versions of open source packages. It identifies and fixes vulnerabilities across your entire stack from application dependencies to Linux packages in containers to post-EOL bare metal devices. Unlike other AppSec tools that only provide visibility or prioritization lists, Seal focuses on remediation by actually fixing the underlying vulnerabilities and clearing the list instead of just shuffling it around.
How quickly does Seal Security patch vulnerabilities?
Seal Security handles all critical and high rated vulnerabilities within 72 hours of being made public. Lower rated vulnerabilities are handled in accordance with the contractually agreed SLA. This rapid remediation helps teams meet compliance requirements and customer SLAs.
What programming languages and package managers does Seal support?
Seal Security supports all major programming languages including Java, Python, JavaScript, C/C++, Go, PHP, C#, and Ruby. It works across a wide range of package managers such as Maven, Gradle, PyPI, Poetry, npm, pnpm, Yarn, yum, dnf, apt, apk, Composer, NuGet, and Bundler.
Does Seal Security require upgrading to newer package versions?
No, Seal Security does not require upgrades. You can patch vulnerabilities now and upgrade on your own timeline. The patches are fully compatible with the versions you're already using, avoiding the breaking changes that typically come with version upgrades. This is especially valuable for transitive dependencies where forcing upgrades could cause compatibility issues.
How does Seal Security integrate with existing security tools?
Seal Security integrates with GitHub, GitLab, and Azure DevOps. It also supports major SCA tools like Snyk, BlackDuck, GitHub Advanced Security, Checkmarx, and Ox, alongside vulnerability scanners such as Wiz, Trivy, StackRox, and Grype. These scanners recognize that vulnerabilities remediated by Seal Security and present them accordingly in your existing workflow.
Is Seal Security compliant with security standards?
Yes, Seal Security is certified with SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001. The solution helps organizations streamline audit-readiness and continuous compliance for FedRAMP, PCI DSS 4.0, NYDFS, HITRUST, and DORA. Patches are human-readable so you can review them before applying.
How are Seal Security patches tested and validated?
All remediated versions undergo thorough testing and quality assurance including manual inspection by the vulnerability research team and by a dedicated AI tool that verifies there are no breaking changes. Since the platform runs at build-time, all existing tests run on the remediated version providing an extra layer of assurance. Each patch goes through expert security review, extensive automated testing, and AI validation to guarantee build safety.
Can Seal Security fix EOL and legacy systems?
Yes, Seal Security secures end-of-life environments like CentOS, RHEL 6, and other EOL distros with post-EOL security patches. It also fixes vulnerabilities in legacy apps and vendor-supplied software even without source code access. There is no hard limit for how far back they support - as long as the source code is publicly available, they can fix it.
Does Seal Security affect package licensing requirements?
No, Seal Security's patches do not affect your organization's licensing requirements. The patches are released with a permissive license, but you must still abide by the requirements of the original package's license.
How do I contact Seal Security support?
Seal Security offers 24/7 support including direct Slack/Teams channels with customers. The best method is to contact via the joint Slack/Teams channel with your organization. You can also email [email protected]. For urgent cases, email [email protected] which immediately triggers on-call support.
