Proof of Value

Evaluate before
you integrate.

To demonstrate the impact AquilaX can have in identifying and eliminating software security vulnerabilities, we offer a Proof of Value. This enables your organisation to evaluate AquilaX capabilities before fully integrating the platform into your development and CI/CD pipelines.

Unlike standard deployment, the PoV is designed to showcase AquilaX's core capabilities with minimal disruption. It operates transparently within your existing development environment, allowing quick and simple validation without requiring complex setup or deep DevOps integration.

This streamlined approach enables both engineering teams and leadership to assess the platform's value without changing existing workflows.

🎯
Minimal Disruption

The PoV operates transparently within your existing development environment. No complex setup, no deep DevOps integration — just immediate visibility into your security posture.

Rapid Evaluation

AquilaX performs a one-time scan across all repositories without limitations. Results are made available through the dashboard for review — within hours, not weeks.

🧠
AI-Assisted Triaging

Once scans are completed, AquilaX security engineers perform triaging and fine-tuning at no additional cost — eliminating irrelevant findings and adapting results to your organisation's context.


Deployment Options

Three models — PoV
and production.

AquilaX supports three deployment models, both during the PoV phase and in regular production environments. Choose the model that fits your organisation's data governance and infrastructure requirements.

Option 01
Multi-Tenant
A shared environment hosted and maintained by AquilaX. Data separation is enforced through permission controls, providing a fast and effortless setup while offloading infrastructure management and maintenance to the AquilaX team. Ideal for rapid PoV evaluation.
Option 02
Single-Tenant
A dedicated and isolated instance of AquilaX services deployed exclusively for your organisation. This model provides enhanced isolation and control while leveraging the full capabilities of the AquilaX platform. Suitable for enterprise environments with stricter data separation requirements.
Option 03
Private Cloud / On-Premises
Similar to the Single-Tenant deployment, but installed entirely within your infrastructure — either on-premises or in your own cloud environment. This model provides maximum control over data, infrastructure, and maintenance. Required for air-gapped or sovereign environments.

Infrastructure Requirements

Private cloud &
on-premises deployment.

For Private Cloud or On-Premises deployments, the following infrastructure is required. The Multi-Tenant option requires no customer infrastructure.

Component Requirement Notes
Virtual Machines 4 VMs 1 Server, 2 Workers, 1 GenAI node
CPU 16 vCPUs Required for AI processing and parallel scanning
Memory 32 GB RAM Supports AI models and analysis engines
Inbound Connectivity HTTPS (443) Access for internal users
Outbound Connectivity HTTPS via Proxy Required for installation and updates
Internal Communication VLAN connectivity Communication between components
Access to Source Code HTTPS access to internal Git Repository scanning

Scanning Capabilities

Seven security engines,
one unified platform.

AquilaX integrates multiple security engines within its core platform — covering every layer of your software supply chain, from source code to infrastructure.

01
SAST
Static Application Security Testing
Analyses source code for vulnerabilities without executing the application. Identifies injection flaws, insecure data handling, cryptographic issues, and logic errors across all supported languages.
02
SCA
Software Composition Analysis
Scans open-source dependencies and third-party libraries for known CVEs, licence compliance issues, and outdated components. Maps your entire dependency tree and provides remediation guidance.
03
SECRETS
Secrets Detection
Identifies exposed API keys, credentials, tokens, private keys, and other sensitive data committed to repositories — across the full git history, not just the latest commit.
04
CONTAINER
Container Security
Scans container images and Dockerfiles for base image vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and insecure build practices. Integrates with container registries and CI/CD pipelines.
05
IaC
Infrastructure as Code Security
Analyses Terraform, CloudFormation, Helm, Kubernetes manifests, and Ansible playbooks for misconfigurations, insecure defaults, and policy violations before deployment.
06
SUPPLY CHAIN
Supply Chain Security
Monitors your software supply chain for tampering, dependency confusion attacks, malicious packages, and integrity issues across the build and delivery pipeline.
07
AI
AI-Assisted Analysis & Prioritisation
AI models contextualise findings against your specific codebase and environment — eliminating noise, prioritising exploitable vulnerabilities, and generating validated fix patches as pull requests in under 60 seconds.

Integration Options

Start simple.
Scale as you grow.

AquilaX supports multiple integration methods — from a simple one-time repository scan to full CI/CD pipeline integration. For the PoV, we recommend starting with the simplest approach: granting AquilaX access to your source code repositories.

🕑
Scheduled Scans

Run automated security scans on a defined schedule — daily, weekly, or on-demand. Ideal for the PoV phase and for continuous monitoring without CI/CD changes. No pipeline modification required.

Recommended for PoV

CI/CD Pipeline Integration

Integrate AquilaX directly into your existing pipelines via GitHub Actions, CircleCI, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, GitLab CI, or Argo CD. Security gates prevent vulnerable code from being merged or deployed.

💻
CLI-Based Scanning

Run security scans from the command line — locally or in any scripted environment. Suitable for developers who want to scan before committing, or for integrating into custom build scripts.

For the PoV, AquilaX performs a one-time scan across all repositories without limitations, and the results are made available through the dashboard for review. This approach enables rapid evaluation of the platform's capabilities before moving to deeper integrations with CI/CD systems such as GitHub Actions, CircleCI, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps.


Triaging & Fine-Tuning

Signal, not noise —
included at no cost.

Once scans are completed, AquilaX security engineers perform triaging and fine-tuning at no additional cost to eliminate irrelevant findings and adapt the platform to your organisation's context.

This service is included both during the PoV and throughout the duration of the contract. The objective is to maximise value by allowing engineering teams to focus exclusively on meaningful and actionable vulnerabilities while reducing noise.

Over time, the AI models become increasingly organisation-specific by learning from your environment and security decisions. As a result, future scans become progressively more intelligent, accurate, and actionable.

🎯
Human-Validated Findings

AquilaX security engineers review scan results, eliminate false positives, and prioritise findings by exploitability and business impact — so your team receives a short, actionable list, not an overwhelming report.

🧠
Organisation-Adaptive AI

Every triaging decision teaches the AI about your codebase, your team's risk tolerance, and your environment. Each subsequent scan is more accurate, more relevant, and generates fewer false positives than the last.

📄
Automated Fix Patches

For validated findings, AquilaX auto-generates fix patches as pull requests — ready for engineering review. From detected to remediated in under 60 seconds, with no manual remediation effort required.


Secure SDLC

Security across the entire
development lifecycle.

AquilaX supports the entire Secure Software Development Lifecycle, providing continuous visibility, automated security analysis, and AI-assisted remediation throughout the development process.

🔍
Develop — Code-Level Security

SAST scanning identifies vulnerabilities at the moment of writing. Developers get actionable feedback in their IDE or as PR comments — catching issues before they enter the codebase, not after.

Build — Pipeline Gates

CI/CD integration enforces security gates at build time. Container images, IaC templates, and dependency trees are scanned automatically — blocking vulnerable artifacts before deployment.

🚀
Deploy — Runtime Protection

Supply chain integrity checks and post-deployment scanning ensure what runs in production matches what was validated. Continuous monitoring flags new vulnerabilities introduced by updated dependencies.

The information collected during the Proof of Value will support the technical evaluation of AquilaX within your software development architecture and provide evidence of its capability to enhance vulnerability detection and automated remediation. The results will highlight gaps in your current security controls and opportunities to shift security left across your entire development organisation.
