# Keygraph

Keygraph is the commercial continuous pentesting and AppSec platform for teams running security across many repositories, services, and environments. While Shannon is a local white-box pentesting CLI, Keygraph is a full platform: it combines parsed-code SAST, source-to-sink analysis, black-box and white-box agentic pentesting, verified remediation, CI/CD gating, SLA tracking, and reporting for security and compliance teams.

This repository contains Shannon, the AGPL-3.0 open-source CLI for strictly white-box pentesting. Keygraph supports both white-box and black-box agentic pentesting and adds static analysis, finding management, remediation workflows, reporting, and enterprise deployment options.

## Who Should Consider Keygraph

Keygraph is intended for organizations that need:

- Continuous AppSec coverage across many repositories and services
- White-box pentesting when source code is available
- Black-box pentesting against deployed applications and APIs without source-code access
- Agentic SAST, SCA with reachability, secrets scanning, IaC scanning, container scanning, and business logic testing
- Canonical finding management, deduplication, ownership, status tracking, and severity tracking
- Sync into developer workflows, including ticketing and source-control systems
- User-initiated remediation with verification before delivery
- SLA tracking, reporting dashboards, and compliance evidence
- Commercial support
- Self-hosted, air-gapped, BYOK, and customer-controlled LLM gateway deployment options

## Full Vulnerability Lifecycle

Keygraph is designed to cover the full vulnerability lifecycle, not only discovery:

1. **Find** exploitable issues with white-box pentesting, black-box pentesting, SAST, SCA, secrets, IaC, container, and business logic testing.
2. **Normalize** results into canonical findings so duplicate scanner outputs become one tracked vulnerability per repository.
3. **Prioritize** findings using exploit evidence, reachability, severity, ownership, and business context.
4. **Sync** work into developer workflows through ticketing and source-control integrations.
5. **Remediate** with user-initiated patch generation when teams want help moving from evidence to code changes.
6. **Verify** fixes by re-running the relevant scanner or exploit workflow before a remediation is delivered.
7. **Track** ownership, status, SLAs, MTTR, and drift over time.
8. **Report** through dashboards for risk, trends, compliance evidence, and security program operations.

## Pentesting Modes

Shannon is strictly white-box: it requires access to the target application's source code and repository layout.

Keygraph supports two pentesting modes:

- **White-box agentic pentesting**: Agents use source-code context to understand architecture, identify realistic attack paths, and validate exploitability against the running application.
- **Black-box agentic pentesting**: Agents test deployed applications and APIs without source-code access, useful for third-party surfaces, production-like external validation, or environments where source access is unavailable.

Both modes follow the same core principle: do not report what might be vulnerable when an exploit can prove what is vulnerable.

## AppSec Coverage

Keygraph combines agentic pentesting with broader AppSec coverage:

- **Agentic SAST**: Code Property Graph analysis with LLM reasoning for data flow, context, and sanitization decisions.
- **SCA with reachability**: Dependency vulnerability analysis that prioritizes issues reachable from application entry points.
- **Secrets scanning**: Detection and validation of credentials, tokens, and API keys.
- **Business logic testing**: Authorization bypass, IDOR, workflow abuse, state-machine flaws, race conditions, and other application-specific logic issues.
- **IaC scanning**: Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, Helm, and related infrastructure configuration checks.
- **Container scanning**: Vulnerable packages, exposed secrets, and misconfigurations across image layers.

## Static-Dynamic Correlation

Static-dynamic correlation is a core product difference. A static finding, such as unsanitized input reaching a SQL query, is not treated as a purely theoretical issue. It is sent to an exploit agent, tested against the live application, and traced back to the exact source-code location when confirmed.

The result is a finding with proof of exploitability, source context when available, ownership, status, SLA, remediation history, and reporting metadata.

## Enterprise Deployment

Keygraph supports enterprise deployment patterns for teams with strict data, model, and network requirements:

- **Self-hosted deployments** inside the customer's cloud or infrastructure
- **Air-gapped deployments** for isolated environments
- **Strict BYOK model access** using customer-managed model credentials
- **Customer-controlled LLM gateway patterns** for routing, policy, logging, and isolation
- **Enterprise identity and provisioning** such as SSO and SCIM
- **Deep integrations** with source control, ticketing, chat, registries, and cloud environments

Deployments can be designed so source code, scan results, prompts, completions, and model traffic remain inside the customer's security perimeter.
