Let's Talk AppSecOps

Developers don't want to be slowed down, but security teams don't want development speed driving AppSec posture off a cliff. The compromise: security guardrails instead of release gates. With a basis of mutual trust that only critical findings will be sent for remediation and all critical findings will be remediated, friction between teams can be mitigated. Avoiding alert fatigue is one thing both security and developer talent can agree on.About ArmorCodeWe develop, sell, and deliver the world’s first and leading AppSecOps platform to our customers, along with the expertise, support and community they need to ship secure software and ship it fast.

Prioritizing threat/vulnerability findings takes thought, a satellite cam, and a microscope if you don't have an AppSecOps platform at work. There's a lot to consider: criticality variance across tools (they don't come normalized out of the box), threat intelligence on CVEs, and tool/technique weight factors, for starters.A major concept is the context around the app/sub-app/module associated with a finding. The software's dependencies, environment, provenance, and the sensitivity of its data are just a few values that affect priority. That context dictates resource alignment, while risk scoring influences specific tactical activities thereafter.About ArmorCodeWe develop, sell, and deliver the world’s first and leading AppSecOps platform to our customers, along with the expertise, support and community they need to ship secure software and ship it fast.

Vulnerability Management looks different from business to business. What qualifies a risk as acceptable or not? When should confirmed vulns be fixed by? Perhaps most distressingly, how do we know when vulnerability has actually been remediated? Luis Guzmán talks about the different aspects of vulnerability and its most common musts:a workflow framework that security & dev agree onlive critical finding notificationsactive remediation monitoringvisibility throughout ticket lifecycles "from soup to nuts"About ArmorCodeWe develop, sell, and deliver the world’s first and leading AppSecOps platform to our customers, along with the expertise, support and community they need to ship secure software and ship it fast.

It's a common misconception that the first step to building an application security program is sorting out the tooling. In reality, security tools translate well, and most early-game head-scratching will center on process. It helps to start small: SCA (source composition analysis) being an un-intensive and non-invasive first measure is a great launch point. This is not only due to the great availability of SCA tools, but also because its ease of adoption primes security teams before they pursue more investigation- and work-heavy practices like SAST, DAST, IAST, etc.About ArmorCodeWe develop, sell, and deliver the world’s first and leading AppSecOps platform to our customers, along with the expertise, support and community they need to ship secure software and ship it fast.

A short release cycle has myriad benefits: faster delivery to market for new functionalities, and swiftly-improving accuracy toward goals (what we call Agile) chief among them. And from a security perspective, a quick reaction time to zero-day threats thanks to a well-oiled assembly line is invaluable. But, of course, there are drawbacks: like a lack of cohesion and communication between security and dev teams, and unequal pressure on AppSec to quicken their side of SLAs. As Luis points out, we discovered in our State of AppSecOps Report that the ship cycle sweet spot is 1-2 weeks (most often 2), wherein security can be effectively balanced with engineering initiatives.About ArmorCodeWe develop, sell, and deliver the world’s first and leading AppSecOps platform to our customers, along with the expertise, support and community they need to ship secure software and ship it fast.

The SBOM Movement has gained huge attention in just half a year. Whether as an external dependency of a developing product or a mission-critical tech stack component, inbound software has provenance (and often, vulnerabilities) that need to be reported for security downstream. US and foreign government support, as well as executive action, have done so much to stir awareness of these supporting docs. Many are ready to embrace it as standard—but 2/3ʳᵈˢ or more organizations still are unaware of new SBOM mandates. Luis Guzmán explains why the future for SBOMs is bright but still has ways to go before reaching mass supply chain adoption.About ArmorCodeWe develop, sell, and deliver the world’s first and leading AppSecOps platform to our customers, along with the expertise, support and community they need to ship secure software and ship it fast.

The State of AppSecOps Report found "reducing developer friction" was a top 3 priority for security leaders. A common contributor is the volleying of security responsibilities, especially with infrastructure-as-code—a gray area that often has security and dev teams pointing fingers. To get willing collaboration, security teams need to practice carrot tactics and better understand the expectations and environments their developers are facing.About ArmorCodeWe develop, sell, and deliver the world’s first and leading AppSecOps platform to our customers, along with the expertise, support and community they need to ship secure software and ship it fast.

The transition from all-hardware to mostly-digital assets has complicated and decentralized the job of security. Cloud and container apps and infrastructure-as-code are examples of innovations whose security requirements will span multiple desks, as the role of the cybersecurity do-it-all becomes a relic of the past—even for smaller organizations.About ArmorCodeWe develop, sell, and deliver the world’s first and leading AppSecOps platform to our customers, along with the expertise, support and community they need to ship secure software and ship it fast.
