The rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape presents an array of challenges for businesses of all sizes across all industries. The constant emergence of new cyber threats, including those now powered by AI, is overwhelming current security models. A 2023 study by the Ponemon Institute found that organizations receive an average of 22,111 security alerts per week. This deluge of alerts, many of which are false positives, is preventing teams from effectively prioritizing and dealing with potential threats.
A holistic approach to addressing this problem is what Gartner calls Application Security Posture Management (ASPM). The strategies of ASPM address the limitations of traditional AppSec approaches using automation, integration, and the strategic use of open-source tools. Adopting the recommended strategies of ASPM can enable companies to fortify software applications throughout their lifecycle.
