Detect and Prioritize App Security Vulnerabilities

 

Central tools teams, commonly known as platform engineering teams, are responsible for rolling out reliable and standardized internal developer platforms and tooling across teams to improve developer experience and productivity, while managing costs and usage. However, most tools are too rigid to meet every engineer’s needs and don’t provide clear processes or controls necessary to operationalize at scale. This leads to low adoption, developer toil, delayed software deliveries, and unexpectedly high costs.

Traditional vulnerability and threat scanning solutions lack the shared business context needed to rapidly assess risks and align teams based on potential business impact. To triage and align teams as fast as possible, teams need to know where vulnerabilities and threats impact their applications, how likely a risk is to be exploited, and how much business risk each issue presents.

How can Splunk AppDynamics help with detecting and prioritizing app security vulnerabilities?

Locate and highlight security issues with application context

Protect your applications and correlate app performance and security insights without overhead or friction.

  • Unlock application security insights and gain a comprehensive overview plus granular details to see where and how a vulnerability may impact critical application components.
  • Detect application code dependency and configuration-level security vulnerabilities in production with automatic runtime protection.
  • Continuously monitor vulnerabilities to find and block exploits automatically, maximizing speed and uptime while minimizing risk.

Prioritize response by business impact

Shift from reactive to proactive and minimize risk with an automated business risk score that combines application context, business impact, and the latest security intelligence.

  • Locate how and where an attack may occur within common application workflows such as login, search or checkout and instantly understand the potential revenue impact.
  • Correlate security details with application topologies for unified visibility into the impacted service area, helping teams focus on securing what matters most.
  • Make data-driven decisions quickly based on the highest risk levels and the overall business impact.

Accelerate response with remediation guidance

View and remediate your top vulnerabilities with up-to-date industry recommendations and guidance.

  • Provide an at-a-glance view of remediation for top three vulnerabilities.
  • Resolve runtime vulnerabilities with pointers to known-safe packages.
  • Easily cut through the noise and remediate the most pressing vulnerabilities first.

Prevent breaches with RASP

Cisco Secure Application is the Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP) solution for modern applications to keep both your users and your digital business happy by defending against attacks to prevent breaches.

  • Protect application communications without additional firewalls or proxies. ·
  • Automatically block threats in real-time to safeguard customer data, organizational IP and your brand equity.
  • Simplify the life cycle of vulnerability fixes and see what is happening inside the code to prevent known exploits.
