The application risk environment has become more complex – more regulations, more vulnerabilities, and an expanded attack surface – and AppSec is not keeping up. CISOs and their teams are accustomed to throwing more scanning tools at the problem, but it hasn’t managed to stave off attackers. Breaches of apps and data have become so common place these incidents are the norm rather than the exception.

Why haven’t things improved? The bottom line: security teams rarely have insight into the root cause of AppSec issues – which prevents them from making the changes that could have a positive, material impact on the security program.
How can we make a material change? By starting with the data and context needed to make the best decisions. With a complete view of the AppSec data – and the context to understand what the data mean – team leap past the current norm, which sees most teams attempt to piece together bits-and-pieces of information. Beyond being time consuming, this manual approach is like navigating in the dark, and leads to vulnerabilities not being addressed, while investing focus on the ones that are actually not critical.
