Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) | Arnica
Application Security Posture Management (ASPM)
Maintain an up-to-date inventory of every identity, asset, and risk in your development environment. Identify who is best suited to address each risk – across SCA, SAST, IaC, secrets, and more – and which risks exist in your most important repositories.
The Challenge with Traditional AppSec
Application Security Alert Fatigue
Traditional code scanners generate thousands of alerts across SAST, SCA, and IaC tools. Without context and correlation, teams waste time trying to figure out which risks matter to you and who is best equipped to fix them.
Finding, Without Fixing
Finding and alerting on risks without providing clear or, better yet, automated mitigation guidance means developers end up with more and more security work, which disrupts their workflows and decreases developer velocity.
Low AppSec Tool Adoption
Most ASPM platforms offer 100% risk visibility. But 100% developer adoption is the hard part. Opt-in tools like IDE plugins, eng dependent CLI in CI/CD pipelines, and too-late Status Checks on pull requests make 100% adoption nearly impossible.
Empower Your World-Class AppSec Program
Complete Visibility of Every Application Risk
Arnica provides full visibility into every risk across every repository and branch so you can establish a clear picture of risk across your entire development ecosystem.
Visibility Details
- Full coverage across your development ecosystem: Consolidate risks across SCA, SAST, IaC, secrets, licenses, and low-reputation packages within your development environment.
- Zero configuration, 100% repository coverage: 100% coverage of every repository and branch with zero configuration required from your development team.
- Continuous monitoring with up-to-date risk context: Continuous monitoring of your entire development ecosystem to ensure risk severity and ownership is up-to-date always.
- Establish clear risk ownership for faster mitigation: Establish clear owners for every risk in your code based on who is best suited to address the given risk, even if the risk author has left your company.
Prioritization
Intelligent Risk Prioritization with Organization-Specific Context
Go above and beyond standard risk prioritization to include organization specific context and prioritize the most important risks to you.
Prioritization Details
- Identify the most important risks in your code: Automatically classify your most important repositories and branches and prioritize risks within them. Auto-add new repositories upon creation.
- Only surface fixable risks: Identify risks that have a fix associated with them to avoid passing along busy work to developers.
- Reachability and fix guidance for SCA vulnerabilities: Get clear reachability guidance for Software Composition Analysis (SCA) vulnerabilities in your code.
- Leverage severity scoring with CVSS, EPSS, and KEV: Leverage core industry severity scoring metrics across CVSS, EPSS, and KEV to inform priority.
Collaboration
Meet Your Developers Where They Work
Leverage rich integrations into the tools your developers use. Build effective risk mitigation and management workflows that help developers avoid re-work and context switching.
Collaboration Details
- Real-time risk detection in your developer tools: Detect new risks in real-time and deliver the most important risks to your developers in Slack or Microsoft Teams to make mitigation easy.
- Automate risk-dismissal and ticketing workflows: Enable risk-dismissal approval workflows – plus, auto-open tickets for detected issues and auto-close mitigated issues in Jira or Azure DevOps Boards.
- Provide context-rich mitigation guidance: Provide developers with rich context and mitigation guidance for each risk using finding-specific magic links that can be time- or user-constrained.
- Prevent hardcoded secrets with automated mitigation: Timely risk mitigations, such as preventing new hardcoded secrets, are assisted by automated mitigation, all using low-level git internals.
Customer Testimonials
Brad Young - VP of Technology
"Arnica has been a piece of allowing us to accelerate like that. As I've taken my team and split it up into smaller groups - some two-person teams tackling fairly big functionality - Arnica being part of it has been really successful for us."
Jordan Bailey - Principal AppSec Engineer
"Arnica helps us reduce noise by providing metrics on the likelihood of exploitation and reprioritizing critical severity vulnerabilities based on Arnica’s logic."
Mali Gorantla - VP of Security
"Arnica allows us to gain a clear sense of what our biggest exposure points are and to address them immediately."
Everett Odom - Director of Information Security
"With Arnica’s full coverage and visibility, we’ve been able to establish a clear view on what our vulnerabilities are and track them effectively."
FAQ
- What is Application Security Posture Management (ASPM)?
It is a solution that provides continuous visibility into security risks across repositories, assigns ownership for those risks, and helps prioritize mitigation across SCA, SAST, IaC, secrets, and more. - How does Arnica achieve full visibility of risk?
Arnica scans all repositories and branches automatically, consolidates risks across multiple domains (code, dependencies, infrastructure), and continuously updates risk context. - Do I need to configure each repository manually?
No. Arnica provides zero configuration and achieves 100% coverage across all repositories and branches from day one. - How does risk ownership get assigned?
Arnica determines who is best suited to address a risk based on code ownership, past contributions, team structure, and context, even if the original author is unavailable. - Can I prioritize which risks to fix first?
Yes. Arnica uses organization-specific context plus industry metrics (CVSS, EPSS, KEV) and reachability analysis to help you surface the most important fixable risks.
