The growing complexity of software development environments and expanding cyber threats are creating significant challenges for AppSec teams, who must grapple with blind spots in their programs to collaborate effectively on reducing application risk. A vulnerability management-based approach for AppSec has its benefits, but it falls short due to a lack of application context, which means that the unified view of security issues often lacks context about the application's importance, architecture, assets, and runtime behavior. This limits the AppSec team's ability to make informed decisions and guide developers toward targeted fixes. Additionally, this approach can lead to poor developer experience if developers are not actively using their security tools or if the solutions create obstacles and add friction to the development workflow. A better approach is needed to ensure effective collaboration between AppSec and development teams, which is where Snyk AppRisk comes in, providing application discovery and visibility, coverage management, and risk-based prioritization, while considering the broader perspective of managing application risk as a whole.
