About BlockSecOps
What is BlockSecOps?
BlockSecOps is a smart contract security analysis platform that combines 17+ industry-leading security scanners into a single, unified interface. Instead of running multiple tools separately, BlockSecOps:
- Aggregates results from all scanners
- Deduplicates findings using ML
- Prioritizes vulnerabilities by risk score
- Provides actionable remediation guidance
Who is BlockSecOps for?
- Developers: Get instant security feedback during development
- Security teams: Streamline audit workflows
- Enterprises: Establish security standards across teams
- Auditors: Augment manual review with automated scanning
How is it different from running individual tools?
| Individual Tools | BlockSecOps |
|---|---|
| Manual setup for each | Single upload |
| Separate result formats | Unified dashboard |
| Duplicate findings | ML deduplication |
| Manual prioritization | Risk-based ranking |
| No cross-tool correlation | Combined intelligence |
