Orasi is a DevSecOps innovator enabling the acceleration, security, delivery, and adoption of software applications and cloud infrastructure through automation. Orasi AppSec and OrasiCloud solutions and services offer full lifecycle support and integration to ensure scalability of transformative applications. Also the makers of OrasiLabs, the train anyone anywhere anytime AWS cloud-native virtual eLearning platform, Orasi works with hundreds of global brands as customers and partners, including Fortune 500 companies, across a variety of industries

While tools such as SAST, DAST, OSS, and Pen Testing are vital to a company’s application security program, using them as separate solutions amongst teams can lead to a lack of communication and visibility. In addition, siloed security testing tools don’t offer the necessary data insight into enterprise-wide threats or provide high-level trend and executive dashboard capabilities. 
 
Saltworks’ new Application Security Posture Management platform, SaltMiner, was created to address these issues. It allows enterprises to aggregate, analyze, and report on results from scans conducted using different technologies, and to do it at scale. In addition, SaltMiner can provide a self-service portal for development, providing them with open vulnerabilities from all sources, ranked and prioritized based on your business rules. They know what to remediate and when without wading through pages of scan results or waiting on AppSec to provide.   
 
Tune in to this upcoming webinar, hosted by Orasi’s partner, Saltworks Security, to learn more about SaltMiner. Hear how the Saltworks team saw the industry’s need for an enterprise wide AppSec dashboard in their day-to-day work with high-profile organizations and designed the tool with their customers’ needs in mind. In addition, see how SaltMiner empowers enterprises to see a true enterprise-wide picture of AppSec risks and needs through:

1. Drill-down and customizable reporting filterable by business unit/owner, vulnerability type, criticality level, IP range, vulnerability trends, and more
2. Compliance-proving results, with exportable application security results and data for GRC, SOCs, other dashboards, etc.
3. Focused vulnerability reports for testers that maximize their efforts

Can AppSec and Increasing Release Velocity Co-Exist?...We think so!
