We're <strong>QwikChek</strong> — a security scanning platform built for development teams who ship fast and want to stay secure.</p> <p>We're a product of <a href="https://www.adserosecurity.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Adsero Security</a>, an information security and compliance consulting firm with 11 years of experience in penetration testing, compliance consulting, and DevSecOps. We built QwikChek because we kept seeing the same problem: the gap between "developers know security matters" and "developers have practical tools to do something about it."</p> <h2> The Problem We're Solving </h2> <p>Most security tools were built for security teams. They cost thousands per month, take days to configure, produce reports that require specialized training to interpret, and assume you have a dedicated team to act on the results.</p> <p>That doesn't work for:</p> <ul> <li>Solo developers shipping side projects</li> <li>Small startups with no security team</li> <li>Dev teams that want to move fast without shipping vulnerabilities</li> </ul> <p>So developers skip security scanning entirely. They tell themselves they'll deal with it later. Later becomes never — until something breaks.</p> <h2> What QwikChek Does </h2> <p>QwikChek runs automated security scans against your web applications and gives you results you can actually act on.</p> <ul> <li> <strong>Point it at your app</strong> — enter a URL, no agents to install</li> <li> <strong>Scans for OWASP Top 10 and beyond</strong> — SQL injection, XSS, misconfigurations, missing headers, and more</li> <li> <strong>Prioritized, clear results</strong> — critical issues first, with explanations a developer can understand</li> <li> <strong>Actionable remediation guidance</strong> — not just "you have a vulnerability" but "here's how to fix it"</li> </ul> <p>Scans take minutes, not days. Plans start at $39/month. No enterprise sales calls required.</p> <h2> What We'll Post Here </h2> <p>We plan to use this account to share genuinely useful security content for developers:</p> <ul> <li> <strong>Security fundamentals</strong> — CVE, CWE, OWASP Top 10 explained in plain language</li> <li> <strong>Practical guides</strong> — how to prevent common vulnerabilities in your stack</li> <li> <strong>Vulnerability breakdowns</strong> — what happened, why it matters, and what to learn from it</li> <li> <strong>Dev tips</strong> — quick security wins you can implement today</li> </ul> <p>We're not here to sell you on fear. We're here because we think security knowledge makes better developers, and dev.to is the right place to share it.</p> <h2> Check Us Out </h2> <ul> <li> <strong>Website:</strong> <a href="https://www.qwikchek.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">qwikchek.com</a> </li> <li> <strong>CVE/CWE Database:</strong> <a href="https://cve.qwiksec.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">cve.qwiksec.com</a> — search 300,000+ vulnerabilities and 700+ weakness types</li> <li> <strong>Get Started:</strong> <a href="https://scan.qwiksec.com/signup" rel="noopener noreferrer">scan.qwiksec.com/signup</a> </li> </ul> <p>Drop us a comment, ask us anything about application security, or just say hello.
