The AppSecOps Blog

AppSecOps is changing the way organizations scale the impact of their application security programs. Want to know more? Come and meet the ArmorCode team at RSA this year and let's show you how ArmorCode's AppSecOps Platform enables you to ship secure software and ship it fast

The tools and techniques mentioned above are proven to come in handy in ensuring AppSec's success and establishing continuous maturity levels. It’s also imperative for companies to invest in high-effective tools for vulnerability scanning, risk management, automated testing, etc. for more accurate results.

Agile DevOps, Cloud Deployment, Microservices, and Open Source have all dramatically accelerated application delivery and complexity. Today’s AppSec teams depend on a collection of point security products and siloed manual processes. This makes it harder for AppSec teams and developers to gain visibility into the dynamic application risk surface and remediate it without slowing software releases.

Vulnerabilities like log4j (CVE-2021-44228 aka Log4Shell) and Spring4Shell (CVE-2022-22965) are already endemic in the software supply chain due to its use in so many diverse software products. Because of this, it’s critical that security professionals focus both on a timely response now and take a long haul approach since it won’t be possible to plug all the log4j vulnerabilities in a day, week or month.

AppSecOps is the process of identifying, prioritizing and remediating Application Security vulnerabilities and risks. The ArmorCode AppSecOps platform is the solution to tackle the challenge, providing AppSec teams with the visibility, actionable insight, automation, and integration needed to build, deliver, and scale an effective and efficient AppSec program across the entire organization and DevSecOps pipeline.

In a typical application development scenario, the developers (who already outnumber the security engineers by 100:1) race ahead, leaving the security team to play catch-up. Code scanning becomes a feverish endeavor, and application security issues that should have been resolved easily become thorny problems - there has to be a better way!

Hiring Application Security Engineers is like trying to find gas for under $5 in California. In this blog we discuss the things to look for in an ideal candidate, how to find candidate within your existing organization and how to scale the impact of new and existing AppSec professions

To implement a 360-degree approach to security like DevSecOps effectively, requires changes at the grassroots level. That means changing an entire organization’s attitude and thought processes to make security an intuitive, integral part of all employee actions and behaviors.
