Hook
SaaS security is a hot market, but most founders focus on the wrong problems. Three specific, high-value opportunities emerged from recent developer discussions: automated BOLA scanning, SaaS data exfiltration detection, and on-premise AI coding assistants. Each addresses a clear pain point with a ready audience.
Problem
- BOLA Vulnerabilities: Multi-tenant SaaS apps are vulnerable to Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA) attacks, where one tenant can access another's data. Manual code reviews and generic SAST tools miss these issues.
- Data Exfiltration: Legitimate access patterns (OAuth tokens, API keys) are used to quietly drain sensitive data from platforms like Salesforce and Microsoft 365. Breaches go unnoticed for months.
- AI Coding Assistant Bans: Enterprises are banning tools like Claude Code due to data leakage risks, leaving developers without secure alternatives.
Solutions
Automated BOLA Scanner: Build a tool that simulates cross-tenant attacks and flags authorization gaps in API endpoints. Price at $99/month for startups, $499/month for scale-ups. Acquire through Product Hunt and Hacker News.
SaaS Data Exfiltration Detection: Create an AI-powered monitoring tool that analyzes API call patterns and user behavior to flag anomalous data exports in real-time. Price at $50-100/month per platform monitored. Market via LinkedIn ads targeting IT security managers.
On-Premise AI Coding Assistant: Develop an AI coding assistant that runs entirely within the enterprise VPC, with no external API calls and full audit logging. Price at $1,000/month per team of 10 developers. Reach CTOs through security conferences like RSA.
