We Build Intercept
Hijack Security is an application security company. We built the platform we wished existed — one that covers your entire application surface, from platforms and repos to code and developer environments, so nothing slips through the cracks and you can respond to threats the moment they appear.
Security Shouldn't Require a Dozen Tools and a Spreadsheet
We started Hijack Security because we lived the problem.
As security practitioners, we spent more time stitching together tools than actually securing code. Five scanners, three dashboards, two ticketing systems, and a spreadsheet to make sense of it all. Every tool covered one slice. None of them talked to each other. And none of them understood the new reality: developers are building with AI, shipping through MCP servers, and the attack surface has fundamentally changed.
So we built Intercept — a unified application security platform that starts with open-source tooling and gives you everything in one place. Nine scan modules. One intelligent pipeline. One score that tells you exactly where you stand.
We didn't build another scanner. We built the platform we wished existed — one that treats security as a single, unified problem rather than nine separate ones. One that understands the AI era isn't coming; it's here.
Intercept is the first security platform to detect MCP server risks, inventory AI tools across your org, and generate STRIDE threat models automatically. Because the tools your developers use today aren't the same ones they used two years ago, and your security stack shouldn't pretend otherwise.
We're building Hijack Security as the company we'd want to buy from: transparent, technically rigorous, open-source first, and relentlessly focused on the developer experience.
What We Believe
The principles that guide everything we build
Open-Source First
We build on the shoulders of giants. Intercept is built on battle-tested open-source scanning engines and gives you the freedom to swap in your preferred tools as you scale.
Developer Experience
Security tools should accelerate developers, not slow them down. One platform. One score. One dashboard — scanning happens automatically so you focus on building.
AI-Native Security
We don't bolt AI onto legacy scanning. Intercept was built for the AI era — from MCP server risk detection to automated threat modeling.
Comprehensive by Default
Code, packages, secrets, containers, pipelines, IaC, developer posture — all covered out of the box. And where we can't reach directly, like deployment targets or full image scanning, we provide guidance and best practices to make sure you're still covered.
Code and Environment
Securing your application doesn't stop at source code. Intercept extends into developer environments — IDEs, extensions, AI tools, MCP servers, git configuration, and machine posture — because your dev setup is part of your attack surface.
Actionable Over Alarming
Security findings are useless if they sit in a dashboard. We pair every finding with context, guidance, and remediation paths — backed by tutorials, articles, and in-app help that turns security data into security improvement.
Where We Are
Founded
Hijack Security LLC founded and work on Intercept began the same month. Eight of the nine scan modules were running within the first week — dependencies, containers, IaC, secrets, static analysis, and more, under one pipeline.
Platform Built
The ninth module — AI-powered analysis — landed, completing all nine. Intercept Score gave every repo a single grade, GitHub and Azure DevOps came online, and a platform-security module, compliance dashboard, remediation SLA tracking, and the first MCP server followed.
Early Access Opens
Intercept opened to invited teams in cohorts on May 15. Their real repositories hardened our integrations, alongside a full audit log and executive PDF reporting shipped the same month.
Early Access: AI, Deepened
A month into Early Access, AI Advisors went live — giving every repo a standing panel of security specialists — and an AI usage inventory mapped where AI shows up across the codebase. The MCP server was rebuilt on hosted OAuth, a Claude Code plugin shipped, and pipeline analysis expanded to GitLab, CircleCI, and Jenkins.
Generally Available — current phase
Early Access closed and Intercept opened to everyone. Self-serve signup, a free plan, and paid tiers that scale by repo and developer count — no invite required.
Built on Transparency
We're a security company — credibility isn't optional. Here's how we earn it.
Open-Source Foundation
Intercept is built on battle-tested open-source scanning engines. No black-box scanning. Every module is designed to be replaceable — swap in your preferred tools as your needs evolve.
4 Threat Intelligence Feeds
Cross-references vulnerabilities against OSV, CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities, GitHub Advisory Database, and NVD. Every finding carries its EPSS score and KEV status, so you can see what is actually being exploited.
CycloneDX Compliant
SBOM generation follows the CycloneDX standard for software transparency. Ready for compliance audits, vendor risk assessments, and regulatory reporting.
Transparent Scoring
The Intercept Score isn't a black box. Every score is broken down by category with letter grades, finding counts, and clear methodology. You can drill into exactly why a repo scored the way it did.
