Application Security & Gen AI

GenAI is changing how applications are built, developers can generate code faster, but it also amplifies software supply chain risk new dependencies, copied snippets, and inconsistent security patterns. Point tools can flood teams with findings, the future of AppSec is an integrated program that reduces noise and prioritises what matters.

Application Security (SCA, SAST & ASPM)

Problems

Building applications introduces code vulnerabilities, and adding AI amplifies these risks—especially in an industry crowded with fragmented tools rather than holistic solutions.

Solution

Application Security tooling can scan the code or software that has been complied to check for any vulnerabilities that can be fixed before being introduction into production.

Software Resource Manager

Problems

Lot’s of alerts in individual tooling, manual searching.

Solution

Prioritises security risks across security stack.


Our Vendors of Choice

Firstly...

First, shift security into the developer workflow. Snyk/BlackDuck/Invicti adds AI powered workflows to help teams find, prioritize, and fix issues early. Black Duck strengthens software composition analysis by identifying open source and third party components, enforcing policy, and producing SBOMs plus the ability to trace copied or AI generated snippets back to source projects.

Secondly...

govern what gets built and shipped. JFrog Artifactory becomes the system of record for packages and container images, while JFrog Xray/ Snyk/BlackDuck provides enterprise grade SCA to identify, prioritize, and remediate vulnerabilities and license compliance issues.

Finally...

Bring context and validation Apiiro/Invicti’s ASPM layer applies a contextual, risk based approach to correlate and prioritize risks across the SDLC, and Snyk/BlackDuck/Invicti validates real exposure with DAST against running web applications and APIs.

Together, these platforms enable secure, AI accelerated delivery without slowing engineering.

Key Discovery Questions 

Answering these questions helps uncover risks and align your strategy with best practices in DevSecOps.
 

1

Are developers using GenAI coding assistants today, and what guardrails exist (secure patterns, review controls, policy)?

2

How do you currently find and manage risk across code, open source dependencies, containers, and APIs and is “too many findings” a problem?

3

Do you have a single source of truth for artifacts and images, and do you scan + gate what gets pushed into production?

4

Are you generating SBOMs today, and can you meet customer or regulatory expectations for provenance and compliance?

5

How do you validate real exploitable issues in running apps (DAST) and ensure findings map to owners, with measurable remediation time?
