Traditional AppSec tools create friction by forcing code through separate security pipelines—slowing development cycles by 2-3 days on average. Arnica's breakthrough is inverting this model. Instead of pulling code out of the development flow for scanning, it brings security into the IDE, Git, and CI/CD tools developers already use. This isn't just faster; it's fundamentally different. While competitors like Snyk and GitHub Advanced Security treat security as a gate, Arnica treats it as a guardrail—always on, always invisible, always in context.

With 15,315 monthly visits and 43% direct traffic, Arnica is building a cult following among engineering leaders. The traffic split is telling: 41% organic search suggests strong word-of-mouth in developer communities, while 43% direct indicates brand recognition that typically takes years to build. Their social presence across Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram shows a company that understands modern B2B marketing—speaking to developers, not just CISOs. The $2.2M revenue on 27 employees suggests lean, efficient growth at approximately $81K per employee—well above industry averages for early-stage SaaS.
