APPLICATION CONTEXT GRAPH

See your application as a connected system.

A continuously updated view of how code, APIs, identities, dependencies, workflows, runtime behavior, and security risk connect—so teams can see what is exploitable and what to do next.

WHAT IS AN APPLICATION CONTEXT GRAPH?

Security context is the relationship between the parts of the application.

An Application Context Graph is a continuously updated representation of the relationships between an application's code, dependencies, services, APIs, identities, objects, workflows, infrastructure, runtime behavior, ownership, and security findings.

Those relationships give security teams the context needed to understand how a weakness can affect the application—not simply that a scanner found something.

Security questions the graph can answerRELATIONSHIPS → CONTEXT
CODE → APIWhich code implements this endpoint?
API → IDENTITYWho can invoke it?
IDENTITY → OBJECTWhat can that identity access?
DEPENDENCY → PATHIs the vulnerable component reachable?
RUNTIME → FINDINGCan the weakness be exercised?
FINDING → OWNERWho needs to fix it?
CONNECTED APPLICATION RISK

Application security risk depends on what a finding connects to.

APPLICATION CONTEXT GRAPH

Risk in application context.

Finding → reachable code path
Dependency → affected service
API → identity → object
Workflow → runtime behavior
Risk → business impact
Root cause → owner → remediation
WHAT APPLICATION CONTEXT UNLOCKS

Use relationships to move from findings to security outcomes.

The graph turns context into decisions security and engineering teams can act on.

01 / EXPLOITABILITY

Understand real exposure.

See whether a weakness is reachable and exploitable.

02 / BUSINESS LOGIC

Understand application behavior.

Understand identities, objects, authorization, and workflows.

03 / PRIORITY

Focus on what matters.

Prioritize using application and business impact.

04 / ROOT CAUSE

Find where to fix.

Trace risk back to the code or control that needs to change.

05 / CLOSURE

Verify the path is closed.

Retest the affected path and verify the outcome.

APPLICATION CONTEXT + AI SECURITY

Give security teams and AI agents the context to act.

Aptori connects security findings with how your application is built and behaves—so teams can understand what matters, fix the right issue, and verify the risk is gone.

CONTINUOUS SECURITY Continuously test application security Find security weaknesses as software changes.
APPLICATION BEHAVIOR Understand how the application should behave See identities, objects, authorization, and workflows in context.
CONNECTED RISK Bring security findings into context Connect findings to one continuously updated view of application risk.

APPLICATION CONTEXT FOR APPLICATION SECURITY

Move from isolated findings to application-level risk.

Traditional application security tools often analyze code, dependencies, APIs, infrastructure, and runtime behavior separately. An Application Context Graph connects those findings to the application itself—its services, identities, objects, workflows, ownership, and application paths.

This context helps AI SAST prioritize meaningful code weaknesses, Semantic Runtime Validation prove application behavior, and Autonomous Penetration Testing explore attack paths.

FAQ

Application Context Graph.

What is an Application Context Graph?

An Application Context Graph connects code, dependencies, APIs, identities, objects, workflows, infrastructure, runtime behavior, ownership, and security findings so teams can understand application risk in context.

How does an Application Context Graph improve application security?

It helps teams determine whether a weakness is reachable or exploitable, understand what it affects, identify root cause and ownership, prioritize remediation, and verify that the vulnerable path is closed.

How is an Application Context Graph different from an attack graph?

An attack graph focuses primarily on paths an attacker could take through a system. An Application Context Graph represents broader relationships across the application. Attack paths are one security outcome that can be derived from this broader context.
