In today’s fast-paced software-driven world, application security is no longer just a developer concern. It’s a board-level business priority. As organizations race to innovate with AI, cloud-native architectures, and modern DevOps, they often face a fragmented and overloaded application security landscape.

Why ASPM matters to the business

Modern enterprises manage a growing portfolio of applications across on-prem, private cloud, and SaaS environments. Each app may use dozens of tools for security testing. These tools, including SAST, DAST, SCA, secrets detection, and API testing, generate thousands of findings. ASPM helps bring order to this chaos.

Here’s how ASPM delivers tangible business value:

• Unified risk visibility: ASPM aggregates data across testing tools, CI/CD pipelines, and development environments to provide a real-time view of your application's risk surface.
• Faster remediation Cycles: By correlating findings and prioritizing what truly matters, ASPM helps teams fix high-impact issues earlier in the development cycle, reducing both cost and time to resolution.
• Compliance confidence: With built-in posture management, you can continuously measure security against regulatory or internal policies.
• Improved developer experience: Instead of being bombarded with noise, developers get contextual, prioritized security guidance within the tools they already use.
• Strategic security metrics: ASPM gives CISOs and engineering leaders the KPIs they need to measure AppSec effectiveness and maturity.

OpenText Application Security and ASPM

OpenText has reimagined application security for the modern enterprise. Its Application Security Testing (AST) platform is designed from the ground up to support ASPM principles, helping organizations drive secure innovation without sacrificing speed.

Here’s how OpenText delivers:

• Integrated ASPM with OpenText Application Security insight

OpenText’s ASPM  capabilities provide unified visibility and policy-driven controls across all application security activities. It turns fragmented scan results into actionable insight and aligns them to business risk and compliance objectives.

• Enterprise-scale coverage

The OpenText platform includes SAST, DAST, SCA, MAST, IaC scanning, secrets detection, and more. It covers APIs, containers, and cloud-native services across 33+ languages, 350+ frameworks, and over 1,500 vulnerability categories, with coverage for 1M+ APIs and growing.

• DevSecOps without compromise

With rich integrations into IDEs, CI/CD, source control, ticketing, and cloud platforms, OpenText empowers developers to shift security left. Allowing you to embed secure practices early in the SDLC while maintaining velocity.

• AppSec Aviator: GenAI meets ASPM

OpenText AppSec Aviator is an AI-powered security solution that streamlines static code analysis by automating the audit of SAST scan results. It addresses key developer pain points, including inconsistent findings, manual triage, and the time spent researching and fixing vulnerabilities. OpenText Aviator provides fast, accurate assessments with clear explanations and copy-ready code suggestions tailored to each codebase. This improves remediation speed, boosts consistency, guides developers to learn through remediation and repetition, and reduces operational costs. All without slowing development.

• Software supply chain security

The platform also includes curated open source intake (OpenText Core Source Select). OEM integrations for full software supply chain protection, supporting SBOMs, license enforcement, and vulnerability tracking.

• FedRAMP, Iron Bank, and public sector-ready

OpenText is the only vendor with FedRAMP certification for SAST, DAST, and SCA. Components are listed in Iron Bank, meeting stringent DoD container security requirements for secure deployment in on-prem, air-gapped, and cloud environments.

From AppSec chaos to strategic control

Organizations embracing ASPM are not only improving their security posture, they’re improving their business posture. By moving from fragmented point tools to a centralized, risk-informed approach, companies can reduce breach exposure. They can also accelerate development, and align cybersecurity investments with business value.

OpenText’s Application Security platform stands at the forefront of this transformation. Trusted by enterprises, designed for developers, and built for the future of code security.
