Here’s how EASM is filling the gaps missed by AppSec testing solutions

Developers are increasingly releasing updates more frequently, prompting AppSec teams to prioritize and remediate threats more effectively. Despite the availability of various tools, no single solution comprehensively addresses all the challenges faced by AppSec teams, particularly as modern tech architecture blurs application boundaries. Common obstacles include the overwhelming number of vulnerabilities and outdated prioritization systems like CVE/CVSS, which fail to consider the complexities of today’s software built with microservices and APIs. As AppSec teams collaborate with developers to accelerate remediation of critical threats, External Attack Surface Management (EASM) solutions are emerging as valuable tools, offering a more holistic approach by identifying unknown Internet-facing assets and reducing cognitive overload.
