Building on the fundamental differences between traditional application security and comprehensive product security, this post provides a practical roadmap for organizations ready to make the transition.
As software architectures have evolved into complex ecosystems, traditional application security approaches that focus primarily on code-level vulnerabilities are insufficient to address the comprehensive product threat landscape.
Attack Surface Management (ASM) or Enterprise Attack Surface Management (EASM) is a cybersecurity discipline that focuses on continuously discovering, inventorying, and monitoring all externally facing digital assets.
VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing) is a comprehensive cybersecurity approach that combines two distinct but complementary security testing methodologies.
Application security focuses on safeguarding code bases while Product Security takes a more holistic view of the entire application lifecycle.
Product security is the comprehensive practice of securing software throughout its entire lifecycle—from development and testing to deployment and maintenance.
