Application security used to mean running a SAST tool, fixing a few bugs, and moving on. Today, it’s a lot more complex.
Modern software environments include dozens of moving parts: open-source dependencies, CI/CD pipelines, cloud configurations, containers, APIs—and each one adds risk. Point solutions help, but they often leave teams buried in alerts with no clear priorities.
That’s why leading teams are shifting toward a more unified approach to application security.
This application security guide explains how Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) helps you:
- Aggregate results from SAST, SCA, DAST, IaC, and container scans
- Prioritize real risk based on context (not just severity)
- Reduce tool sprawl and alert fatigue
- Integrate AppSec into everyday developer workflows
If you’re scaling your AppSec efforts and want to stay ahead of vulnerabilities without slowing down delivery, this is the direction most teams are heading.
