Put your highest-value workflows in scope
For a payments service, the risk might be changing a destination account. For a collaboration product, it might be reaching another tenant's documents.
Apex lets you review the threat model before the hunt, so the assessment starts with the consequences your team cares about. Findings connect the technical issue to the business boundary it crosses.
-
Keep the fix accountable to the original finding
Apex's Fix Review brings the candidate patch back to the exploit it is supposed to prevent. Engineers can inspect the result alongside the finding and address incomplete fixes or new security problems.
That is a concrete reason to make security review part of the fix workflow. Your team retains control of merging and deployment.
97 issues surfaced across 62 of 193 fix pull requests in a three-month production cohort

Apex vs Wiz: evaluate the application assessment
For this decision, put the application assessment at the center: the attack Apex can demonstrate, the business impact it reveals, and the evidence your engineers can use to fix it.
| What matters to your team | What Apex gives you | Wiz approach |
|---|---|---|
| Investigating application risk | An editable threat model directs offensive testing toward the workflows and trust boundaries that matter to your business. | Wiz Code and the Red pentesting agent. |
| Turning findings into engineering action | Reproduction evidence, affected code, impact, and remediation guidance together. | Code-to-cloud context and fix suggestions. |
| Reviewing the proposed fix | Dedicated Fix Review checks the candidate against the original exploit and looks for new security problems. | Verification scope depends on the products being evaluated. |

Choose Apex to investigate how an attacker could break your critical application and give engineering the evidence to address it. The workflow connects a business-specific threat model, reproducible findings, and candidate-fix review. Published production research lets you inspect the work before you commit.
The Apex Field Report includes account takeover, token theft, and remote code execution cases. Across its reported production cohort, Apex generated 4,032 findings on 612 targets, with 702 scored high or critical. Explore the research.
Evaluate Apex for your code-security and offensive-assessment needs. You can scope that decision around the applications you want tested without making it a replacement decision for your entire security stack.
Apex provides reproduction evidence, affected code, impact context, and remediation guidance. Fix Review then checks the proposed patch against the original vulnerability and looks for new security problems, helping engineers catch incomplete fixes before merging.
