Reduce business risk from software flaws by building security into how applications and APIs are designed, changed, and operated across their lifecycle.

Applications and APIs are often the most direct path to customer data and critical business functions. This use case focuses on preventing and minimizing exploitable weaknesses.

Outcomes

  • Fewer high-impact vulnerabilities reaching production
  • Reduced likelihood of data exposure through insecure APIs
  • Faster, safer releases through clear security requirements
  • Improved confidence in third-party and open-source dependency use

Typical scope

  • Security requirements for critical applications and APIs
  • Risk-based testing and review practices (before and after release)
  • Dependency risk management and remediation workflows
  • API security posture (authentication, authorization, abuse prevention)

GenAI-enabled execution

Agents can help summarize findings, draft remediation tickets, and produce business-friendly impact statements—guardrailed by approved risk models and human review of high-impact decisions.
