Case Study: Persona achieves 2x code-security coverage with depthfirst

How Persona Increased Code-Security Coverage by 2x with Depthfirst

Persona, a leader in identity verification, faced the challenge of securing its rapidly expanding codebase without hindering its engineering team's fast-paced development cycle. Their attempt to build an in-house AI security scanner resulted in high false positives and difficulty detecting complex vulnerabilities, creating a significant resource drain. They turned to vendor Depthfirst for a solution using its General Security Intelligence platform.

By implementing Depthfirst's solution, Persona integrated an AI-native security platform that provides continuous analysis and contextual pull request reviews. The results were significant: code-security coverage doubled, the team resolved over 70% of the recommendations, and hard-to-find vulnerabilities were surfaced and fixed within weeks. This dramatically improved their security posture and reduced the load on their security engineers, allowing development velocity to increase.
