Use cases

Security that fits your workflow

Fendix is designed for real teams: developers, security engineers, and platform owners who need fast, repeatable API security checks with evidence they can act on.

Common ways teams use Fendix

Pick the mode that matches what you need today: black-box coverage, white-box analysis, or hybrid confidence.

Pre-release hardening

Catch auth bypasses, misconfigurations, and insecure headers before you ship.

  • Fail fast on Critical/High thresholds
  • Repeatable scan results for releases
  • Actionable evidence + remediation

Hybrid confidence for complex systems

Correlate runtime behavior with code locations to reduce false positives.

  • Cross-check black-box + white-box findings
  • Every issue includes proof and source context
  • Higher-confidence remediation guidance

Black-box API testing

Test live endpoints using real HTTP requests without requiring source access.

  • Auth/access control bypass checks
  • CORS + browser credential risk detection
  • Rate limiting coverage gaps

White-box secret & policy scanning

Scan your codebase for hardcoded secrets and insecure patterns.

  • Hardcoded keys/tokens/passwords
  • Injection patterns (SQLi/command/XSS)
  • Framework-specific auth mistakes

CI/CD security gates

Use scan results to block merges and keep the security posture moving forward.

  • Pass/fail exit codes based on severity
  • Baseline diffing to show new findings
  • Export reports for tooling

Audit-ready reporting

Produce shareable, machine-readable reports for teams and audits.

  • JSON + self-contained HTML output
  • Credential redaction in reports
  • Consistent severity classification

From “need answers” to “ship safely”

A simple workflow you can reuse across teams.

01

Configure

Choose black-box, white-box, or hybrid and point Fendix at your target.

02

Scan

Run the scan. Results appear with evidence and severity.

03

Remediate

Review findings and export reports for CI/CD or audits.
