How to escape the AppSec tool swamp

Traditional approaches to application security (AppSec) rely on a patchwork of disconnected tools and processes that add more noise than protection.

This “tool swamp” adds complexity to both security operations and development pipelines. It requires multiple teams of experts to interpret results and consumes far too many resources. It frustrates developers and puts them at odds with security—impeding efforts to collaborate across teams.

Fortunately, there’s a better way.

Discover in this e-book how a unified AppSec platform that provides continuous and comprehensive security across the software development life cycle can free your organization from the tool swamp.

  • The state of financial institution cyberattacks

    When you think of a bank robbery, you imagine distinct images of criminals holding up tellers, breaking into safes, and getting away in a high-speed chase.

    But with cyberattacks increasingly targeting financial institutions, modern bank heists can occur without a hint of noise.

    This annual report aims to shed light on the cybersecurity threats facing the financial sector, specifically focusing on the changing behavior of cybercriminal cartels and the defensive shift of the financial sector.

  • Next-generation DAST: Introducing interactive application security testing (IAST)

    While dynamic application security testing (DAST) has been a go-to AppSec testing technique for decades, it is not without its drawbacks.

    Cybersecurity is evolving, and in order to mitigate modern vulnerabilities, you need a level of insight and visibility that legacy DAST just can’t consistently provide.

    This is where interactive application security testing (IAST) comes into play.

    IAST builds off the many strong points of DAST, analyzing applications in a running state but working from the inside out, rather than from the outside in.
