Software Delivery has Changed
The Requirements for AppSec
Testing are Different Now
Software is pushed to production faster than ever before, with many teams releasing multiple times per day. Legacy approaches to application security no longer cut it.
Weekly scheduled scans of the production application lead to delayed vulnerability discovery and vast inefficiencies in fixes. The future of application security is automated in CI/CD.
- Automated tests in CI/CD
- Tests of backing APIs
- Developer self-service tooling
- Engineering workflow integrations
- Lightning fast scans
Application Security Automation
Code. Pull Request. Test.
With application security tests on every pull request, developers are alerted if they are about to introduce a new vulnerability into production. Equipped with all relevant information to troubleshoot the bug, including a curl command to reproduce the finding, developers can quickly triage the issue, choosing to fix or prioritize in a future sprint.

Software Delivery has Changed
Shortening the find -> fix cycle results
in significant efficiency gains
Vulnerabilities Now
Found Before Prod
Get alerted before a vulnerability is live in production, allowing you to control risk profile of what is shipped to customers
Fixes Are Faster While
in Context
Developers are notified on the PR when a new vulnerability is introduced, allowing them to fix the code they just worked on
Change Increments
are Smaller
Scanning underlying microservices and APIs creates faster scans and clearer focus when a fix is needed
Security Scales Across Engineering
With developer centric tooling, the age old problem of security playing catch up with engineering is gone

What is Dynamic App Security Testing?
Dynamic application security testing (DAST) runs security tests against a running application.
It finds vulnerabilities your team introduced as well as exploitable open source vulnerabilities.
Why Automate AppSec in CI/CD?
With the speed of modern software delivery, scheduled scans of the production application no longer cut it.
Learn why application security automated in CI/CD makes so much sense.
