Managed Application Security FAQs

  • What is managed application security?

    Managed application security is a service delivered by a Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) to operationalize part or all of your application security program. Whether it’s scanning, validating vulnerabilities, or targeted reporting, you can offload these responsibilities to a trusted partner to free up time for higher-level business priorities. 

  • How does managed application security work?

    Managed application security testing and remediation services work by:

    • Managing scans: Creating and scheduling scan configurations 
    • Validating vulnerabilities: Reviewing findings, validating vulnerabilities, and removing false positives 

    • Leveraging targeted reporting: Staying web-app compliant via focused scanning and reporting

    • Prioritizing remediation: Providing guidance and recommendations for remediations
    • Testing business-logic: Assessing application functionalities like process timing, tampering checks, workflow circumvention, and more   

  • What are the benefits of managed application security services?

    The benefits of managed application security services are:

    • Accelerating release cycles

    • Avoiding remediation downtime

    • Minimizing time-to-remediation

    • Reducing costs

    • Prioritizing key vulnerabilities

  • What is the difference between static application security testing (SAST) and dynamic application security testing (DAST)?

    The difference between SAST and DAST is the time at which the application and its code are scanned. SAST scans the application while it’s at rest and DAST scans the application while it is running (also known as “at runtime”).

Helping 11,000+ global companies take the gloves off - View Customer Stories

“If we managed application security tools internally, we’d see hundreds of alerts and have to parse through and figure out what’s what. Managed AppSec is a lot more manageable than having a static Excel sheet or a PDF of a hundred things to look into.”
Carl Stern, Director of Information Security - Experity
