3 Considerations for Evaluating Application Security Posture Management Platforms

Security teams already have the tools in place to find vulnerabilities. But which of those vulnerabilities pose the most risk? And how can security and development teams work better together to remediate these vulnerabilities faster?

Today, most application security tools are designed to find vulnerabilities, not fix them.

What is noise and what is risk? And, more importantly, how do you accelerate the remediation of the most critical vulnerabilities?

The answer lies within one key metric — Mean Time to Remediate (MTTR).

42% of developers push vulnerable code once per month,
Developers fix only 32% of vulnerabilities,
33% believe that developers and security are siloed, and

Developers can address security vulnerabilities most effectively when allowed to do so during the development life cycle.

67% have experienced an incident in the past year,
40% have 5,000 or more security vulnerabilities,
42% are seeing more false positives than ever before, and

Reducing friction between developers and security would have the most significant impact on improving application security.
