 # `poutine`
 
-Created by [BoostSecurity.io](https://boostsecurity.io), `poutine` is a security scanner that detects misconfigurations and vulnerabilities in the build pipelines of a repository. It supports parsing CI workflows from GitHub Actions and Gitlab CI/CD. When given an access token with read-level access, `poutine` can analyze all the repositories of an organization to quickly gain insights about the security posture of the organization's software supply chain.

 ## Why `poutine`?
 
-In french, the word "poutine", when not refering to the [dish](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poutine), can be used to mean "messy". Inspired by the complexity and intertwined dependencies of modern Open Source projects, `poutine` reflects both a nod to our Montreal roots and the often messy, complex nature of securing software supply chains.
