Application Security Testing
Security testing is mandatory. Scaling AST is the real challenge.
Companies are running more security tests across the SDLC than ever before, but struggle to organize results, prioritize remediation, and integrate execution into development workflows.
More tests distributed across the SDLC
The evolution of DevSecOps practices has expanded the use of SAST, DAST, IAST, SCA, secrets scanning, and manual validations across multiple phases of the development lifecycle. These tests now run continuously — in pipelines, test environments, staging, and production. The challenge is no longer executing tests. The challenge is operating this entire testing ecosystem as a unified system.
Today, companies face:
Lack of correlation between findings identified by different testing techniques
Inconsistent remediation practices across teams
Generic severity ratings without application or environmental context
Low visibility into actual test coverage
Limited integration with development workflows
Recurring execution without consolidated historical tracking
Security test and scan results scattered across tools, squads, and pipelines

Security testing does not work in isolation. Different testing techniques cover distinct parts of the attack surface, at different SDLC stages, each with inherent limitations. The real value emerges when these executions are orchestrated, correlated, and treated as a unified system.

How we structure the testing lifecycle:
SAST to identify source code flaws early in development
Secrets Scanning to detect exposed credentials, keys, tokens, and secrets in code, repositories, pipelines, and artifacts
SCA to identify vulnerabilities in libraries and dependencies
DAST to test running applications and APIs
Direct impact on your operation
Broader attack surface coverage
Reduced gaps between SDLC phases
More efficient use of each testing technique at the right moment
Less reliance on reactive, one-off execution
Modern environments receive findings from multiple sources: static scanners, dynamic tests, dependency analysis, and manual validations. Without a central control point, this data quickly becomes fragmented.

How we organize this scenario:
Consolidation of findings into a single security backlog
Correlation and deduplication across different testing techniques
Organization by application, environment, vulnerability type, and criticality
Complete history per vulnerability, including retesting and remediation cycles
Direct impact on your operation
Reduced operational noise and rework between teams
A consistent and continuously updated backlog
Clear visibility into the real volume of vulnerabilities
Strong foundation for prioritization and decision-making
Security testing only scales when it keeps pace with engineering. Executions outside the development flow create friction, delays, and resistance.

How we connect testing to the SDLC
Automated test execution within CI/CD pipelines
Definition of security gates based on objective technical criteria
Integration with issue tracking and backlog management tools
Structured technical feedback delivered directly to development teams
Direct impact on your operation
Reduced friction between security and engineering
Earlier and lower-cost remediation
Fewer vulnerabilities reaching production
Security embedded in the process — not added at the end
Security testing generates volume. Priority does not come solely from tool-assigned severity, but from real application context.

How we structure prioritization
Relationship between vulnerability, application, environment, and exposure
Differentiation between theoretical findings and exploitable risks
Combined assessment of technical, operational, and regulatory impact
Unified visibility for AppSec, Engineering, and Management
Direct impact on your operation
Teams focus on what truly reduces risk
Less time spent on low-impact vulnerabilities
Better use of squad remediation capacity
Decisions based on real risk, not just technical scoring
Security testing is not a one-time event — it is a continuous process that must be measured, monitored, and refined over time.

How we measure maturity and evolution
Clear visibility into which applications are being tested
Types of tests executed per application and environment
Execution frequency throughout the SDLC
Findings evolution, remediation rates, and recurrence
