Original Post: Why “vulnerability management” falls short in modern application security
The content discusses the challenges faced by Application Security (AppSec) teams in managing the complex landscape of software development, heightened cybersecurity threats, and regulatory requirements. It highlights that despite adopting “shift left” methodologies, existing AppSec programs have blind spots that hinder effective collaboration between security and development teams.
A new approach inspired by vulnerability management aims to provide a unified view of application security issues across an AppSec program. However, this method faces two significant challenges: lack of application context and poor developer experience. The over-reliance on third-party data results in incomplete views of security postures, and tool-agnostic approaches often disrupt developer workflows, leading to ineffective prioritization and remediation.
Snyk AppRisk addresses these issues by shifting the focus from individual security issues to holistic application risk management. It offers application discovery, visibility, coverage management, and risk-based prioritization. Integrated with Snyk’s developer-first AST products, Snyk AppRisk ensures early detection and prevention of risks, helping developers prioritize and remediate issues effectively.
