Going beyond “shift left” to extend AppSec in all directions

The application security landscape has shifted from a "shift left" approach to a multi-directional approach, extending security beyond vulnerability visibility to encompass strong prioritization and remediation, as well as context on assets, development processes, runtime security, and tooling. This new direction requires a change in mindset, with vendors focusing on proactive security that incorporates these aspects, rather than solely relying on vulnerability visibility. A multi-directional approach can provide better visibility, analytics, and context, enabling teams to understand the performance of their application security programs over time, identify critical issues, and narrow down vulnerabilities, ultimately leading to improved developer productivity and risk reduction.
