Shift Left, Protect Right: Harness+Wiz Close the AppSec Gap

Application security has evolved to encompass various stages of the software development lifecycle, with vulnerabilities found in code, open-source packages, container images, and cloud infrastructure. The challenge lies not just in identifying these vulnerabilities but in prioritizing and fixing those that pose significant risks, which requires correlating multiple data points to understand the context and exposure. The shift in responsibility for application security from dedicated AppSec teams to DevSecOps and platform engineering teams reflects the need for integration between development and cloud security workflows. Tools like Harness and Wiz facilitate this integration by providing runtime context and code-level insights, helping teams prioritize vulnerabilities based on real-world exposure. This collaboration allows both DevSecOps and cloud security teams to work within their existing frameworks while sharing critical signals, reducing noise, and ensuring a comprehensive view of security risks across the SDLC.
