APPLICATION SECURITY • SDLC

The Pen Test Was Built for a Different Development Cycle.

AI is changing how software gets built. Code is generated, changed, and shipped faster than ever, but penetration testing often remains a periodic exercise.

Security teams need security practices that keep pace with development and help them focus on the risks that matter most.

Development moves continuously. Testing often doesn't.

AI accelerates development

AI coding tools are changing how quickly teams generate, modify, and ship software.

Testing happens in intervals

Traditional penetration tests often assess an application at a point in time, while the code and attack surface continue to change.

Finding risk isn't the whole story

Identifying a vulnerability is important. Understanding its potential impact and exploitability helps teams make better security decisions.

Prioritize the risks that matter

More code and more findings don't automatically mean better security. Teams need context to distinguish exploitable, high-impact risks from issues that can wait.

Prevention matters. Validation matters, too.

Finding and fixing vulnerabilities early reduces risk, but no single security activity tells the whole story. Teams also need to understand how weaknesses could be exploited, how they affect the application, and which issues deserve attention first.

As AI accelerates development, security needs to account for both the speed of change and the real-world risk that changes introduce.
A MORE COMPLETE APPROACH TO APPLICATION SECURITY

Security across the software development lifecycle

Security works best when prevention, detection, validation, and remediation reinforce one another throughout development—not as disconnected checkpoints.
01
PREVENT →
Establish secure development practices and apply security rules to AI-assisted coding workflows.
02
DETECT →
Identify security issues across code and development workflows, with context to help teams prioritize risk.
03
VALIDATE →
Penetration testing helps assess whether weaknesses can be exploited and what they mean for application security.
04
REMEDIATE
Give developers actionable findings and relevant context so security issues can be addressed within their existing workflows.

Bring security into every stage of development.

Bring security into the entire development lifecycle—from the AI agent generating code to the developer responsible for fixing it.
