Security Testing Orchestration
Security Testing Agent enforces consistent security policy across every tool and every pipeline.
Policy lives at the tool level
Every scanner can gate the build. None account for what the other tools found.
Consistent policy across
every pipeline
Define policy centrally, by pipeline type, and enforce it consistently across every pipeline.
Devs work around security controls
You never know if the security tests you're required to run, actually did.
Enforced and auditable policy
Required tests are enforced in the pipeline, so you know what ran and can prove it.
Every scanner is a silo
Per-tool scanning means you're stitching findings together yourself.
Unified risk view
One view for all scanner findings, deduplicated and correlated.
You have 1000s of pipelines, and they're all different. Define policy centrally, and Security Testing Agent applies it consistently across every one.
Policy-driven coverage. Define what scans are required, and enforce them across every pipeline with OPA-based policy.
Issue exemption management. Let developers request exemptions when there is a business need, instead of suppressing findings and hiding risk.
Exportable audit logs. Every policy evaluation, scan result, and exemption is captured and exportable: proof that security testing ran for every build.
Unified dashboard. Aggregate findings from every scanner into a single view. No more switching between tools to understand your security posture.
Deduplication & normalization. Reduce the noise in your pipelines with automatic deduplication and normalization of issues.
Triage Agent. Triage Agent prioritizes findings based on reachability and exploitability, and removes false positives.
Remediation Agent. Remediation Agent generates validated fixes and opens the PR, so developers just review and approve.
Deploy security testing tools into any pipeline faster and easier with 40+ pre-built integrations.
Easily scale security configurations across 1000s of pipelines with reusable pipeline templates.
Enforce consistent security policy across every scanner and every pipeline.
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 called Application Security Orchestration and Correlation (ASOC) or Application Security Posture Management (ASPM), it centralizes findings from SAST, DAST, SCA, container scanning, and other security tools into a single dashboard. By automating workflows and providing intelligent correlation, STO enables DevSecOps teams to manage application security posture without switching between disparate tools.
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.
STO transforms DevSecOps by eliminating security bottlenecks and automating tool coordination throughout CI/CD pipelines. It automatically triggers 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, STO accelerates vulnerability remediation while maintaining development velocity.
Organizations need STO to manage the complexity of modern DevSecOps toolchains that often include five to 10 different security scanners. Without STO, teams face fragmented results, duplicated vulnerabilities, inconsistent prioritization, and inefficient workflows. STO provides centralized findings, automated policy enforcement, and consistent security standards across development teams. Organizations implementing STO report 60% improvement in vulnerability remediation rates through intelligent correlation and prioritization.
STO 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.
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. ASPM features enable custom policies that suppress low-priority issues and escalate critical vulnerabilities automatically.
STO 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. Organizations implementing STO report 60–70% reduction in security management overhead while simultaneously improving application security posture and accelerating secure software delivery.
When evaluating STO and ASPM platforms, prioritize solutions offering broad security tool integration, flexible policy engines for custom prioritization, and native CI/CD integration for DevSecOps workflows. Essential capabilities include intelligent deduplication, correlation across security tools, and developer-friendly remediation guidance. For comprehensive ASPM, seek platforms providing portfolio-level analytics, compliance reporting, trend analysis, and executive dashboards.
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 aggregate data from multiple sources, correlate vulnerabilities, prioritize remediation based on business context, and track security posture trends over time. This enables DevSecOps teams to understand holistic risk and eliminate duplicate findings.
ASPM platforms built on security testing orchestration provide centralized vulnerability management, risk-based prioritization, security metrics dashboards, and policy automation. Key features include intelligent correlation through ASOC to eliminate duplicates, customizable security policies, compliance reporting, and remediation workflow automation. Leading STO solutions offer developer-friendly integrations, executive-level risk visibility, and trend analysis enabling continuous improvement of DevSecOps security posture.
