Modern software development demands rapid delivery of new features, but this can lead to security being overlooked or becoming a bottleneck. Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) aims to integrate security seamlessly into the development process, with developer-first platforms like Arnica leading the charge. These platforms reduce friction by automating repetitive tasks, integrating directly with tools developers already use, and providing actionable, prioritized feedback. Traditional security tools, which were often siloed and disruptive, are being replaced by solutions that offer real-time remediation, adaptive policy enforcement, and effortless compliance. By ensuring security is an inherent part of the coding workflow, developers can focus on building features without being hindered by security concerns, ultimately enhancing productivity and maintaining high security standards. Arnica exemplifies this approach by embedding security checks within the development environment, providing instant feedback and suggested fixes, and automatically logging compliance evidence, all of which streamline collaboration between developers and security teams while reducing alert fatigue and the velocity tax.
