Create custom security apps, your way

A Sola app is a custom security tool that you create, tailored for your specific security needs and area of interest. Each app you create is autonomous and supports its own use case. It can be limited to one or more data sources with different workspace members as creators and consumers.
The app you create can range from basic and simple use cases, to specific or complex scenarios. Apps can be shared with your team members, depending on their member roles. Public apps are open to all workspace members with the selected default role. Private apps require an invite.
Apps are connected to relevant data sources that allow you to query your data and gain security insights into your organization.
Each app is made up of 4 building blocks:
Queries - Get answers to your cyber security questions.
Canvases - Visualize your insights and results.
Alerts - Convert the important questions to alerts.
Workflows (coming soon) - Define automation and achieve remediation.
Pro tip: Create security apps your way
Sola gives you the flexibility to structure your apps based on your security priorities. For example, you can create apps by security use case (e.g., Identity and Access Management), by data source (e.g., AWS Security Posture, GitHub Security Posture), or a combination of both (e.g., AWS Identity and Access Management, Salesforce Identity and Access Management).
How you create your apps is entirely up to you—choose what makes the most sense for your security needs.
Your apps can be as simple or as complex as you need. Depending on how technical you want to get, the queries component of your app provides the flexibility to query your data using natural language with Sola AI and SQL queries.
Sola AI helps you quickly generate queries and refine them, making it easier to explore your data and uncover insights.
Create a new app from scratch, join an existing one in your workspace, or use a prebuilt app from the app gallery made by our expert security team.
Who can create and install apps?
Only workspace owners and admins can create apps, join existing apps, or install apps from the app gallery.
To create a new app, you’ll need to connect it to one or more data sources.
Connecting your data source is important because it allows you to get answers to your questions that are relevant to your data. By linking your data sources, you can easily find security insights and answers based on your organizational data.
You can skip this step for now and use a placeholder data source, which includes only the table schema (without data). Connect your data source later when you're ready.
Sola provides two ways to access apps in your workspace:
My Apps - Apps that you are a member in, whether created by you or someone else
Workspace App - Apps in your workspace that you can join.
Collaborate in real time to share insights, refine security findings, and build on each other's work. See who else is active in the same app or building block as you create.
Only workspace owners and admins can create apps, join existing apps, or install apps from the app gallery. If you don’t have the necessary permissions, reach out to your workspace admin.
