Application Security

What is Application Security?

Application security in cybersecurity involves protecting software applications from threats across their development and runtime environments. It includes securing code, detecting vulnerabilities, and preventing exploits such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, or logic flaws.

Main Application Security Players

Synopsys is a major player offering static and dynamic analysis tools for developers. Veracode provides application scanning to detect security flaws early in the development process. Checkmarx specializes in secure code analysis to help developers fix issues before deployment.

Others: Netcraft

Application Security Segments

Web & API Protection groups WAAP controls that combine a Web Application Firewall, bot mitigation, and app-layer DDoS with API discovery and policy enforcement to protect internet-facing services.

Code & Supply Chain Security unifies Static Application Security Testing, Software Composition Analysis, secrets detection, and artifact signing to secure code, dependencies, and builds before release.

Dynamic & Runtime Protection combines Dynamic and Interactive testing with Runtime Application Self-Protection to find and block exploitable issues in running applications.

External Attack Surface & Digital Risk covers continuous discovery of exposed assets and takedown of phishing or impersonation to reduce externally visible application risk.
