For a long time, organisations have been aware of the growing application security risk surrounding their software. With data breaches seemingly announced every other day, many are working quickly to lower their risk exposure and secure the valuable data that could potentially be accessed by unscrupulous attackers.
The strategy employed to mitigate risk is often tool-centric, with SAST/IAST/DAST scanning tools playing a major role in finding vulnerable code that could be exploited within applications. However, with the immense cost and frequently ineffective results, many companies are searching for their “magic bullet” to reduce risk.
