Frequently Asked Questions
What are the key features of an Application Security Posture Management platform?
Application Security Posture Management platforms built on security testing orchestration provide centralized vulnerability management, risk-based prioritization, security metrics dashboards, and policy automation. Key ASPM features include intelligent correlation through Application Security Orchestration and Correlation (ASOC) to eliminate duplicates, customizable security policies, compliance reporting, and remediation workflow automation. Leading Security Testing Orchestration solutions offer developer-friendly integrations, executive-level risk visibility, and trend analysis enabling continuous improvement of your DevSecOps security posture across applications and teams.
What should I look for when selecting an STO or ASPM platform?
When evaluating Security Testing Orchestration and Application Security Posture Management platforms, prioritize solutions offering broad security tool integration, flexible policy engines for custom prioritization, and native CI/CD integration for DevSecOps workflows. Essential STO capabilities include intelligent deduplication, correlation across security tools, and developer-friendly remediation guidance. For comprehensive application security posture management, seek platforms providing portfolio-level analytics, compliance reporting, trend analysis, and executive dashboards. Evaluate vendor support for your technology stack, scalability to support organizational growth, and ability to demonstrate measurable improvements in security posture and remediation velocity.
How does STO reduce alert fatigue in security teams?
Security Testing Orchestration dramatically reduces alert fatigue by deduplicating findings across multiple security tools, correlating related vulnerabilities, and applying intelligent prioritization based on exploitability, business context, and remediation effort. Instead of reviewing thousands of raw findings from disparate tools, security teams using STO receive consolidated, actionable alerts ranked by actual risk. Application security posture management features in STO platforms enable custom policies that suppress low-priority issues and escalate critical vulnerabilities automatically, ensuring DevSecOps teams focus on threats that matter most to the organization.
Why do organizations need Security Testing Orchestration?
Organizations need Security Testing Orchestration (ASTO) to manage the complexity of modern DevSecOps toolchains that often include five to 10 different security scanners. Without security testing orchestration, teams face fragmented results, duplicated vulnerabilities, inconsistent prioritization, and inefficient workflows. STO provides Application Security Posture Management by centralizing findings, automating policy enforcement, and enabling consistent security standards across development teams. Security testing orchestration reduces tool sprawl overhead while improving vulnerability remediation rates by 60% through intelligent correlation and prioritization.
What is Application Security Posture Management (ASPM)?
Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) is an emerging security category that provides comprehensive visibility and governance across an organization's entire application security program. ASPM platforms consolidate security findings from multiple testing tools, correlate vulnerabilities with business risk, and track remediation progress across portfolios. Security Testing Orchestration serves as the operational engine of ASPM, automating tool integration and workflow management. Together, STO and ASPM enable security teams to understand their complete application security posture, identify coverage gaps, and demonstrate compliance effectively.
How does Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) differ from traditional security testing?
Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) provides continuous visibility and risk assessment across your entire application portfolio, while traditional security testing focuses on point-in-time scans. ASPM platforms like Security Testing Orchestration aggregate data from multiple sources, correlate vulnerabilities, prioritize remediation based on business context, and track security posture trends over time. Unlike standalone tools, Application Security Posture Management like STO enable DevSecOps teams to understand holistic risk, eliminate duplicate findings, and make data-driven security decisions.
What are the key benefits of implementing Security Testing Orchestration?
Security Testing Orchestration delivers multiple benefits including reduced mean time to remediation through automated triage, improved DevSecOps efficiency by eliminating manual tool coordination, and enhanced application security posture management through comprehensive visibility. STO platforms reduce security tool sprawl costs, accelerate compliance reporting by centralizing evidence collection, and improve developer experience by presenting security findings in familiar development tools. Organizations implementing STO report 60-70% reduction in security management overhead while simultaneously improving application security posture and accelerating secure software delivery.
What security tools can Security Testing Orchestration integrate?
Security Testing Orchestration platforms integrate virtually all application security testing tools including SAST, DAST, SCA, container security scanners, secrets detection, Infrastructure as Code scanning, and API security testing. Modern STO solutions provide pre-built connectors for popular security vendors alongside flexible APIs for custom integrations. By orchestrating these diverse tools, STO creates a unified DevSecOps security layer that normalizes findings across vendors, correlates related vulnerabilities, and presents consolidated results. This integration capability is essential for comprehensive application security posture management across heterogeneous technology stacks.
How does Security Testing Orchestration improve DevSecOps?
Security Testing Orchestration transforms DevSecOps by eliminating security bottlenecks and automating tool coordination throughout CI/CD pipelines. STO platforms automatically trigger appropriate security tests based on code changes, application types, and deployment targets, ensuring consistent security validation without manual intervention. By providing developers with consolidated, prioritized findings within their existing workflows, Security Testing Orchestration accelerates vulnerability remediation while maintaining development velocity. This automation enables DevSecOps teams to scale security testing across hundreds of applications without proportionally increasing security headcount.
What is Security Testing Orchestration (STO)?
Security Testing Orchestration (STO) is a unified platform that orchestrates, manages, and correlates results from multiple application security testing tools across the software development lifecycle. Also known Application Security Orchestration and Correlation (ASOC) or Application Security Posture Management (ASPM), STO centralizes findings from SAST, DAST, SCA, container scanning, and other security tools into a single dashboard. By automating workflows and providing intelligent correlation, security testing orchestration enables DevSecOps teams to efficiently manage application security posture without switching between disparate tools.
