In the fast-paced world of modern development that is driven by the constant need for innovation and rapid delivery, security teams are facing an increasing challenge in ensuring secure application delivery. 

The adoption of agile and CI/CD practices results in hundreds of code changes that are being pushed into production every day. To keep up with the pace of innovation and ensure that these changes aren’t introducing new risks and critical vulnerabilities into the software development lifecycle (SDLC), security teams employ multiple application security and scanning tools like Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Software Composition Analysis (SCA), Infrastructure as Code (IaC) analysis, and containers scanning. 

However, introducing additional siloed tools leads to new operating complexities without delivering the comprehensive visibility, relevant deep context and operational streamlining that application security teams really need, prompting the need for a new solutions category known as Application Security Posture Management (ASPM). According to Gartner’s Innovation Insight for ASPM, “Application security posture management analyzes security signals across software development, deployment and operation to improve visibility, better manage vulnerabilities and enforce controls.” They view ASPM as critical to the future of application security, stating that “By 2026, over 40% of organizations developing proprietary applications will adopt ASPM to more rapidly identify and resolve application security issues.” 

In this blog, we will explore the challenges faced by security teams in managing siloed application security tools, discuss how Legit Security's code-to-cloud Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) capabilities provide an effective solution to address these challenges and highlight a few of our recent innovations and feature releases.
