Almotech: Fast-Track to Secure Software

Discover key metrics, practical results, and the next steps Almotech is taking to reach zero critical vulnerabilities and full coverage for every release — all without slowing down engineering.

Almotech, a mid-sized software house in Europe, relies on GitHub to build, host, and deploy software for a diverse client base. With more than 15 engineers working across multiple technologies, securing their codebase was always a challenge. Few tools could handle such a varied stack without slowing things down. That changed when they integrated AquilaX to boost their security posture without adding friction.

Key results achieved with AquilaX:

• From decision to first scan: under 24 hours — seamless onboarding with no workflow disruptions.

• Scan time for critical components: under 4 minutes, even without parallel runs.

• Noise reduction: over 35% fewer false positives, letting engineers focus on real issues instead of endless triage.

• Ongoing protection: scans now run periodically, ensuring no vulnerability slips through undetected.

• Key security issues were uncovered — all critical items were resolved quickly, and the remaining ones are tracked on an active fix roadmap.

What’s next for the team:

1️⃣ Enable automatic scanning via GitHub Actions to cover every commit and pull request.

2️⃣ Roll out auto-remediation for third-party dependencies (SCA) and infrastructure-as-code (IaC).

The goal is clear: achieve zero HIGH or CRITICAL vulnerabilities and extend this level of security coverage to 100% of Almotech’s released software.

This is a success story about speed of adoption and meaningful noise reduction, showing that robust security can be simple, fast, and developer-friendly.
