Security

Introducing SunSec

SunSec is Sunbeam's security testing service for finding and fixing vulnerabilities in software you own or are authorized to test.

Why we're building this

Modern software has more moving parts, more integrations and more ways to fail. SunSec gives companies a systematic way to assess their software with a custom security-testing harness, multiple specialized AI agents and human review.

Security testing is changing

AI systems are becoming more capable at understanding software, following complex workflows, investigating unfamiliar codebases and reasoning across multiple components. That creates an opportunity to automate and scale parts of security assessment that traditional scanners handle poorly on their own. This does not replace professional judgment or promise perfect coverage.

The SunSec harness

Sunbeam has built a custom harness to orchestrate an assessment: breaking work into relevant areas, providing agents with context, coordinating workflows, collecting signals, correlating findings, prioritizing issues and passing them into structured human review. It is not simply a prompt asking whether a website is secure.

A swarm of specialized investigations

Instead of relying on one agent to perform an entire assessment, SunSec can divide an authorized target into specialized areas. Independent investigations are then brought together for correlation, validation and human review, creating one coherent security assessment without treating the work as uncontrolled autonomous testing.

What SunSec tests

The exact assessment depends on the software, agreed scope and available access. Relevant areas can include application behavior, authentication and authorization, API behavior, input handling, business logic, configuration, exposed functionality, dependencies and code-level signals where applicable.

How an assessment works

We establish scope and testing boundaries, assess the agreed target, investigate potential weaknesses, validate potential findings, report confirmed issues with practical guidance, and can help remediate and re-test improvements where useful.

From finding vulnerabilities to fixing them

Most assessments end with a report. SunSec does not have to. As a software engineering studio, Sunbeam can explain confirmed issues, recommend remediation and—where requested—work with your team to implement the changes before re-testing the agreed scope. Remediation is optional and separately scoped.

What you receive

A SunSec assessment is designed to provide confirmed issues and their severity or priority, affected components and attack surface, technical explanation, evidence and reproduction context where appropriate, practical remediation recommendations, optional remediation assistance and follow-up testing where appropriate.

Pricing and availability

Security assessments are scoped per engagement based on the software, complexity, access and depth of testing required. If you want Sunbeam to fix the issues we find, remediation is scoped separately based on the work required. SunSec begins accepting engagements next week, with initial assessments taken on a priority basis.

Request an assessment

SunSec is designed for authorized security testing. Customers must own the systems they submit or have explicit permission to test them. Before work begins, Sunbeam establishes the agreed scope and boundaries with your team.
