Introduction to Fence

Welcome to Fence, the automated security platform for developers and DevOps teams.

What is Fence?

Fence is a comprehensive security automation platform that scans your web applications for vulnerabilities and provides actionable remediation advice. We focus on three core areas:

1. SSL/TLS Security - Certificate monitoring, weak cipher detection, protocol vulnerabilities
