Invicti Security has introduced Invicti AppSec Core, a comprehensive application security platform aimed at reducing noise from scanners and allowing AppSec teams to concentrate on real and exploitable runtime risks throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC).

This platform is designed with lean security teams in mind, offering unified visibility and control over essential tools needed to secure web and API applications, from code creation to cloud deployment and runtime operations.

Addressing Key Security Challenges

AppSec Core tackles several critical security issues currently confronting organizations. These include the overwhelming number of alerts from isolated scanners that obscure genuine threats, the challenge for overloaded security teams to prioritize and address the most dangerous runtime risks, and the pressure to enhance AppSec maturity during periods of CISO changes, mergers, acquisitions, and regulatory audits.

The platform, built on Invicti's ASPM (previously Kondukto) and utilizing DAST technology, focuses on minimizing alert noise. It integrates protection across six additional security areas: SAST, SCA, Supply Chain Security, container security, secrets management, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC).

Comprehensive Security Features

AppSec Core enables the discovery and documentation of shadow APIs and web applications. Its proof-based DAST and API scanning efficiently validate vulnerabilities that can be exploited in production environments. The platform also pinpoints weak code and risky dependencies through SAST, SCA, and IaC analyses. Automated SBOM generation ensures continuous tracking of application components for compliance and supply chain security, while its secrets detection capabilities identify exposed credentials and tokens.

Intelligent correlation and deduplication functionalities streamline the remediation process by correlating verified DAST and SAST findings, thus eliminating duplicate reports. Additionally, it maps runtime issues directly to the code and the developer responsible, enabling faster and more precise fixes.

Integration and Continuous Assurance

AppSec Core minimizes setup efforts and ongoing maintenance requirements

With integrations for CI/CD pipelines, issue tracking, notifications, and developer security training platforms, AppSec Core minimizes setup efforts and ongoing maintenance requirements. It consolidates findings for clear visibility and applies reachability, exploitability, and business context to prioritize critical issues, using its superior proof-based DAST to identify and verify risks not detected by static analyses.

"Security teams shouldn't have to sift through thousands of theoretical vulnerabilities or stitch together findings from multiple vendors," commented Neil Roseman, CEO of Invicti. "Invicti AppSec Core proves which vulnerabilities are exploitable in running applications, thus turning AppSec into a driver of secure, high-velocity development."

Streamlined Onboarding and Deployment

Invicti AppSec Core offers quick onboarding through automated workflows and seamless CI/CD and ticketing system integrations.

Teams can start rapidly by connecting code repositories and defining target applications and APIs, with the platform handling subsequent processes. Available as a cloud-hosted SaaS, Invicti AppSec Core provides enterprise-grade security with proof-based validation and centralized management.
