How to choose the right AppSec vendor/offering

The adoption of application security (AppSec) tools and capabilities has seen a steady rise in popularity over the last decade, with no signs of slowing down.

However, each organization’s application environment is unique – requiring an AppSec program that is custom-fit to their unique needs.

Read this infosheet to for helpful guidance when it comes to evaluating and choosing the right AppSec vendor/offering.

  • Your path to a mature AppSec program

    According to a recent Verizon study, almost 40% of observed security incidents and data breaches were the direct result of a cyberattack targeting web applications – but it’s no secret that apps are often the target of today’s threats.

    This e-book, Your Path to a Mature AppSec Program, provides expert guidance to help your organization modernize its AppSec approach – chapters include:

    • An introduction to application security
    • AppSec stages
    • Steps to reach AppSec security
    • & more

  • 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.
