Application Security Solutions

Embed security into every stage of your software development lifecycle with industry-leading SAST, DAST, and SCA platforms that empower developers to build secure code.

Why You Need Application Security

Applications have become the new perimeter. As organizations rapidly develop and deploy software, attackers increasingly target vulnerabilities in application code, open-source dependencies, and APIs. The shift-left approach to security means finding and fixing vulnerabilities early in the development lifecycle, where remediation costs are a fraction of post-production fixes. Embracing DevSecOps practices ensures that security is not a bottleneck but an enabler of faster, safer software delivery.

Key Capabilities

  • Static Application Security Testing (SAST) — Analyze source code for vulnerabilities before compilation
  • Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) — Test running applications for exploitable weaknesses
  • Software Composition Analysis (SCA) — Identify vulnerabilities in open-source and third-party components
  • Container Image Scanning — Detect vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in container images
  • API Security Testing — Discover and protect APIs from OWASP API Top 10 threats
  • CI/CD Pipeline Integration — Automate security gates within your existing DevOps workflows

Frequently Asked Questions

01

What is the difference between SAST and DAST?

SAST (Static Application Security Testing) analyzes code without running it, finding vulnerabilities in source code. DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing) tests running applications like attackers would. Both are needed for comprehensive coverage.
02

What is SCA and why is it important?

SCA (Software Composition Analysis) identifies open source libraries and their known vulnerabilities. Modern applications use hundreds of open source components; SCA finds vulnerable dependencies that need updating.
03

What is shift-left security?

Shift-left means testing security earlier in the development lifecycle. Finding vulnerabilities in development is cheaper and faster than fixing them in production. It includes developer training, secure coding practices, and automated scanning.
04

How does API security testing differ from web app testing?

API security focuses on authentication, authorization, data exposure, and business logic flaws. Unlike web apps with visible UI, APIs are invisible and require specialized testing tools and methodologies.
05

What is DevSecOps and how does it relate to AppSec?

DevSecOps integrates security into DevOps practices, embedding security scanning and testing into CI/CD pipelines. This enables continuous security without slowing development.
06

Can application security scanning catch all vulnerabilities?

No. Automated tools catch common vulnerability patterns but miss complex logic flaws and design issues. A complete program combines automated scanning, code review, penetration testing, and threat modeling.
07

How do we remediate vulnerabilities found by AppSec tools?

Remediation includes prioritizing by risk, assigning to developers, tracking fixes, testing solutions, and validating in production. CyberSafe helps establish workflows that ensure vulnerabilities are properly fixed and not just suppressed.
