Drowning in Application Security Alerts?
Reclaim Control with Intelligent ASPM That Actually Works
ASPM Delivers “Shift Left” Application Security Testing
ASPM is a practice that aims to enhance the security and resilience of applications by maintaining a comprehensive risk posture for their architecture, including services, libraries, APIs, dependencies, attack surfaces, and sensitive data flows, enabling quick identification and prioritization of business-critical risks.
Problem: Noise
Most Vulnerabilities are Noise due to
- False positives
- Unexploitable
- Unused at runtime
- Too many findings with no runtime context!
AppSec and CloudSec work in silos and don’t have contextual understanding of vulnerabilities

Code & Pipeline
SCA is a tool that inventories the open source code libraries in the applications and compares them to a database of Common Vulnerabilities and Exploits(CVEs) to identify vulnerabilities. It is useful for evaluating vulnerabilities in open source components but is limited to development and testing.
Static Application Security Testing (SAST)
SAST is used to identify security issues early in the software development lifecycle but lacks environmental, architectural, or runtime context.
Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)
DAST is a tool used in software development to identify known exploits of interfaces in web applications. However, it has limitations like not achieving 100% test coverage, not specifying vulnerability location, and being expensive and time consuming.
AccuKnox IaC Scanner
IaC Scanner is a tool that helps identify misconfigurations in IaC files, enforcing best practices and security guidelines. Integrating AccuKnox into a CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions can improve security.

Defend & Stop “Zero Day” attacks with “Shift Left” approach
SCA analyzes third party dependencies & libraries in open source software, ensuring they are secure and up to date. It is implemented during development, testing, or production phases, for a flexible CI/CD pipeline.
- SCA identifies vulnerable third party software components, helping to mitigate risks early in the software development lifecycle.
- While it excels in identifying vulnerabilities in third party code, it lacks runtime context, is limited to third party scope, and does not scan proprietary code.
- Ideal for identifying open source component risks, protecting against supply chain attacks, and checking dependencies for vulnerabilities. This proactive approach ensures a more secure software ecosystem.
Tools Supported
Integrate SAST, DAST, IaC, and container scanning in CI/CD; gate builds on policy violations and auto-open fix pull requests.

ASPM Platform: Complete Guide
Guide Topics
Explore everything you need to know about Application Security Posture Management (ASPM)—why it’s crucial for modern DevSecOps, how it works, and how AccuKnox helps you eliminate risks from code to runtime in your SDLC.
What is ASPM?
Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) is a modern approach to securing applications throughout the software development lifecycle. It helps organisations identify, prioritise, and remediate risks across the CI/CD pipeline by integrating application security signals into a centralised platform.
ASPM brings together static analysis (SAST), software composition analysis (SCA), IaC scanning, threat modelling, and runtime insights—giving you a unified view of your application security posture. It empowers AppSec, DevOps, and SecOps to collaborate efficiently without context switching or alert fatigue.
Core Components of ASPM
A complete ASPM solution connects various stages of the SDLC with integrated security signals:
- SAST + SCA Integration
Detect vulnerabilities in proprietary and open-source code early in the development phase. - IaC Security & Policy as Code
Scan infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Helm, etc.) for misconfigurations before deployment. - CI/CD Pipeline Security
Catch issues at build time by embedding security checks into CI tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab, etc. - Threat Modelling & SBOM Analysis
Map potential attack paths and ensure visibility into third-party software components and supply chain risks. - Runtime Drift Detection
Compare deployment artefacts vs runtime behaviour and flag deviations instantly.
By unifying all of this into one interface, ASPM helps teams act on what matters most—faster and with precision.
ASPM Components Table
| Component | Focus Area | Key Functions | Ideal For |
| SAST/SCA | Code Security | Detect code flaws, OSS vulnerabilities | Devs, AppSec Teams |
| IaC & Policy-as-Code | Cloud Provisioning Security | Pre-deployment checks for cloud templates | Cloud Engineers, DevOps |
| CI/CD Pipeline Guard | Build-Time Security | Shift-left scanning, hardcoded secrets, dependency risks | DevOps, Platform Teams |
| Threat Modeling | Risk Mapping & Prioritisation | Visualise threat paths, prioritise based on impact | SecOps, Architects |
| Drift Detection | Runtime Behaviour Monitoring | Alert on the drift between expected vs actual behaviour | DevSecOps, SOC Teams |
Why Enterprises Are Investing in ASPM
Modern development practices mean faster releases—but also greater risk. Key challenges include:
- Security signals are scattered across disconnected tools
- No single source of truth across code, pipeline, and runtime
- Manual correlation of alerts is slowing down remediation
- Limited visibility into the supply chain and third-party components
ASPM solves this by stitching together code, infrastructure, and runtime context, allowing security teams to make data-driven decisions with speed and confidence.
