Does it feel like consolidation suddenly went from a low-priority item on your to-do list to something your enterprise needs now<\/em>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you feel that way, you\u2019re not alone. A recent global Checkmarx survey<\/a> asked CISOs, AppSec managers and developers which risks they wanted to prioritize most. In roughly equal amounts of about 36%, leaders named APIs, open-source and supply chain, containers, and infrastructure as code all as high priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digital transformation means that enterprises have more business running on more applications, and these new architectures and infrastructure are creating a multifaceted attack surface. It\u2019s also is partially responsible for the increasing complexity that has become synonymous with running an effective application security program at an enterprise level. It\u2019s also a key reason many are now prioritizing consolidation of their AppSec solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s why you should too, along with some points to consider before you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enterprise AppSec should provide visibility into the entire application landscape<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The high-velocity production of modern DevOps pushed application security teams to rapidly implement various AppSec scanning tools. Now they\u2019re facing the consequences of a quickly built, patchwork AppSec program that was never designed to work seamlessly. The pieces aren\u2019t integrated, the testing results aren\u2019t always correlated, and the total cost of ownership isn\u2019t quite what they\u2019d hoped. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security teams must also maintain trust with large, and often dispersed, development teams that they depend on to fix vulnerabilities. But developers, faced with divergent point solutions cranking out AppSec alerts by the thousands, are often unsure which alerts are credible. When your developers can\u2019t easily differentiate between alerts that are false positives and low priority, from those that are high risk and need to be prioritized, the ensuing lack of trust can cripple your AppSec program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For enterprise AppSec programs, the challenge is exponentially more complex due to sheer volume and scale. Their large development teams, billions of lines of code, hundreds of applications to release and support, and competing priorities make team alignment and trust that much more essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With so much at stake for enterprises, a consensus is forming around a solution: to consolidate into a fully integrated enterprise AppSec platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Defining a true enterprise AppSec platform<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your enterprise deserves a  purpose-built platform that works toward securing all your applications, starting from when your developers write their first line of code, through production and runtime. An enterprise AppSec platform should check a lot of boxes, including these:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • \nAppSec scalability:<\/strong> Can it scale to handle your growing application footprint, with the speed to scan hundreds of apps, including their open-source code, APIs, containers etc.?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \nResults you can trust: <\/strong>Can it be tuned to fit the needs of your enterprise, prioritizing alerts so developers can focus on the riskiest vulnerabilities? <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \nHolistic view of risk:<\/strong> Can it help your team understand risk across your entire application footprint? A platform must continually build its AppSec tools to work together and communicate seamlessly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \nDeveloper experience:<\/strong> Can it easily integrate into your developer experience to allow devs to perform their AppSec duties right in their IDE? Can it motivate them to upskill with relevant, engaging training tailored to your organization\u2019s needs?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \nEmbracing the power of AI:<\/strong> Does your platform allow developers to use AI to write secure code? Can you use AI for query tuning to minimize alert fatigue<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    An enterprise AppSec platform that shows you the whole picture of your risk<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    At Checkmarx, we have taken these criteria to heart. We built a full suite of AppSec tools that let you \u201cshift everywhere\u201d to secure application development throughout the SDLC. Our cloud-native Checkmarx One platform brings those tools together to give you the speed and ease of use that are crucial to a rapidly scaling enterprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We know that a full array of scanning tools isn\u2019t enough, because few teams have the staffing and resources to deploy and manage them effectively. It\u2019s why we built the technologies that make up Checkmarx One to talk to each other in smarter, and more insightful, ways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Checkmarx Fusion correlates Checkmarx One results across all its individual AppSec tools so you can easily prioritize remediation of your riskiest vulnerabilities. Fusion is key functionality in Checkmarx One, helping you manage your resources effectively and gain better control over your enterprise\u2019s application security posture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Here are a few Fusion use cases to consider:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Identify your riskiest apps<\/strong> \u2013 Fusion allows you to view the security posture of your entire application portfolio and footprint. It aggregates data from multiple AppSec tools and provides a comprehensive risk score for each scanned application, so you can quickly see what to prioritize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Discover shadow APIs<\/strong> \u2013 Undocumented APIs, or shadow APIs, are easy access points for attackers. With Checkmarx, SAST and DAST work together to discover your applications\u2019 shadow APIs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Focus on what\u2019s exploitable<\/strong> \u2013 Exploitable Path evaluates vulnerabilities in open-source libraries and analyzes whether they are actually called by your application\u2019s code. If not, they aren\u2019t exploitable. By weeding these out, Fusion can reduce AST noise by 40%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Visualize your vulnerabilities<\/strong> \u2013 The average cloud-native application can have hundreds, or even thousands, of different components. The Fusion Insights Dashboard provides a visual and textual representation of threats in an intuitive chart containing all software elements, consumed cloud resources, and the relationships among them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Correlate runtime protection <\/strong>\u2013 Runtime Insights gives you the full picture of your container once an application is in use, identifying what is and isn\u2019t being called by your application. This connects the dots between pre-production and deployment, giving your team clear visibility into workloads that are running in production. This can help reduce vulnerability noise up to 95%.This just touches on the power of consolidating your AppSec tools into Checkmarx One.
