Application Security Posture Management

Block risks from reaching production
and quickly remediate issues at the source.

Request a demo

Application security has reached an inflection point. Organizations are pushing new code to production faster than ever, which is enabling too many security risks to leak into runtime. The responsibility for security testing is also shifting from security professionals to developers, even though traditional AppSec tools aren’t built with developers in mind. To overcome these challenges, modern AppSec solutions must integrate seamlessly with development pipelines and code repositories so teams can identify vulnerable components, detect misconfigurations and manage remediation workflows effectively.

Agile development requires security guardrails

Traditional security reviews break agile development methods and slow the business down. To accelerate secure deployment, security teams need to remove gates and build guardrails across the application development lifecycle.

Siloed tools lack holistic context

Cloud-native architectures are complex, and modern software supply chains rely on diverse technologies. Teams need integrated security solutions to simplify risk prioritization and enforce context-aware policies across the application lifecycle.

Consistent security is difficult to apply across the application development lifecycle

Security teams struggle to translate security policy into consistent technical enforcement across the application lifecycle. A platform approach to cloud security is the only way teams can apply consistent security from code to cloud.

Comprehensive context to prioritize and mitigate application risk

Cortex^® Cloud natively integrates with engineering ecosystems to prevent risks and secure applications by design. The platform unifies leading AppSec tools with third-party scanners for complete code and runtime context to prevent and prioritize risk.

SOLUTION

Our approach to application security posture management

Comprehensive Visibility

Cortex Cloud centralizes visibility by integrating findings across code, build, deploy, and runtime. The platform ingests data from both native scanning tools, third-party scanners and runtime for consistent security across the lifecycle. With Cortex Cloud, AppSec teams can secure the entire engineering ecosystem—code, supply chain, and tools—from a single platform.

Single source of truth
Consolidate AppSec capabilities—from code to runtime—into a single platform to minimize tool console switching and streamline DevSecOps workflows.
Ingest 3rd Party Data
Connect any AppSec tool for centralized visibility and prioritize risk based on comprehensive runtime and application context.
Comprehensive risk context
Bring code, pipeline and runtime context together to manage risks based on probability of exploitation and potential business impact.
Consistent policy enforcement
Apply consistent security policy across the SDLC to ensure that security standards are maintained throughout development and deployment.
Generate a software bill of materials (SBOM)
Generate an SBOM containing open-source packages, libraries and IaC resources, along with associated security issues, to track and understand application risk.

AI-Driven Risk Prioritization

Combining code, pipeline, runtime and application context, Cortex Cloud enables teams to prioritize risk based on probability of exploitation and potential business impact.

Code and pipeline context
Prioritizes vulnerabilities by focusing on packages that are actually used, and of those, which contain vulnerabilities that are reachable by bad actors to exploit.
Runtime and application context
Leverage context such as if package is loaded into memory, internet exposures, network traffic and access to sensitive data access to prioritize risk and deprioritize code findings that aren’t reachable or in nonproduction test environments.

Fix Risk at the Source

Enable developers to solve risk when and where it occurs from within their native environments.

Trace risk to the source
Leverage, code, pipeline and application context to trace risk to the source in code.
Easily remediate with context
send a pull request (PR) to a developer with context so they can easily fix security issues.
Swift ownership resolution
Use application context to identify which repository the issues stems from and which developer made the commit.
Native developer integrations
Secure applications in existing developer workflows with native integrations for IDEs, VCS and CI/CD tooling.
Resolve vulnerabilities without disruption
Apply precise updates to fix direct and transitive dependency issues, avoiding breaking changes while addressing multiple vulnerabilities efficiently.

Block risk from reaching production

Apply granular security policies that block PRs and fail builds only when context dictates. For example, apply a context-aware policy that fails a build when introducing a critical vulnerability to production but allows it in a test environment.

Agile guardrails
Accelerate secure deployments with agile security guardrails that empower developers to apply best practices throughout the application development lifecycle.
Reduce developer friction
Make smart policy decisions leveraging runtime context to avoid unnecessarily blocked PRs and failed builds.
Provide actionable insights on failed deployments
Get guidance on how to remediate issues and auto-fixes for issues identified in pull requests.
