Application security testing has evolved significantly over the decades, adapting to emerging threats and the increasing complexity of software development processes. Read OX’s latest whitepaper to learn how AppSec has evolved and what your team can do to stay ahead of cyber criminals focused on software compromise and supply chain attacks.
Are Security Teams Falling Behind?
The world of software development is a fast-paced battlefield. And some AppSec teams might worry that they can’t keep up. It’s no wonder: The explosion of online services and rapid-fire development cycles has created a new breed of cyber threats. Attackers are getting more sophisticated, and security teams are scrambling to keep pace. Remember the early days? We relied on tools like SAST and DAST, hoping to catch vulnerabilities before they hit production. But these tools were slow, inaccurate, and often created more work than they solved.
Then came the rise of DevOps and cloud-native development, and things got really complicated. Today, code is written and deployed at lightning speed, and traditional security (or legacy) tools simply can’t keep up. Security teams struggle with alert fatigue, false positives, and a lack of visibility into complex, ever-changing applications. Generic application risk prioritization isn’t the answer and will result in more frustration than progress. But what choice do you truly have?
Don’t Surrender Just Yet!
New technologies and approaches are emerging that promise to give security teams the upper hand. Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) offers a unified approach to application security, providing the visibility, automation, and control needed to secure modern software development.
