The buyer’s guide to scalable application security

Detectify offers a buyer's guide for scalable application security, emphasizing the need for effective tools that facilitate collaboration and enhance security across organizations. The guide highlights the importance of understanding where vulnerabilities are most likely to occur, starting with production environments, and suggests obtaining a comprehensive inventory of the tech stack to identify shadow IT. It advocates for using modern application security tools, such as bug bounty programs or automated scanners, to anticipate attacks and remediate vulnerabilities before they are exploited. Integration of security alerts into popular development tools is recommended to streamline the process from detection to resolution. The guide encourages a positive security culture with shared responsibility, transparency, and collaboration, including working with ethical hackers. It also outlines success measures for appsec tools, such as reducing the time for vulnerabilities to be detected and fixed, lowering false positives, and minimizing shadow IT risks. Detectify collaborates with an ethical hacker community to provide up-to-date security insights and offers a trial to experience its approach to continuous, efficient application security.
