We're Building Intercept
Hijack Security is an application security company. We're building 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 seven 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. Work on Intercept began immediately — building a unified application security platform from the ground up with open-source tooling at its core.
Platform Built
Nine scan modules. DAG pipeline architecture, Intercept Score, AI analysis engine, and developer posture agent — built, tested, and integrated.
Early Access — current phase
Intercept is open to invited users. We're onboarding teams in cohorts, gathering feedback, and hardening integrations with the tools you already use.
General Availability
Self-serve onboarding, team management, CI/CD integrations, and enterprise controls. Open to all.
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. EPSS scoring prioritizes by real-world exploitability.
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.
