ASPM Overview

How Application Security Posture Management Works?

ASPM leverages a range of security tools, such as:

• SAST (Static Application Security Testing)

• DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing)

• SCA (Software Composition Analysis)

• IaC (Infrastructure as Code) scanning

• Secret scanning tools

These tools are integrated at various stages of the DevOps lifecycle, ensuring comprehensive security coverage. The diagram above illustrates how ASPM aligns with the different phases of CI/CD to deliver continuous application security.
