Validate what is actually exploitable.
Aptori brings continuous application security testing to code, APIs, dependencies, AI services, and runtime behavior, helping teams prove risk, prioritize fixes, and accelerate remediation.
Application security testing has changed.
Modern software changes too quickly for periodic scans and manual reviews alone. Security teams need continuous validation that applications behave securely before release and remain secure after deployment.
Find issues across code, APIs, dependencies, and services.
Confirm whether the issue is reachable and exploitable.
Generate evidence developers and security teams can trust.
Focus on verified risk instead of noisy finding volume.
Accelerate fixes with root cause and developer guidance.
Maintain evidence for secure-by-design and compliance.
Findings without proof.
- Static findings with limited runtime context
- DAST scans that miss business logic and authorization flaws
- Periodic pen tests that lag behind release velocity
- Long reports that slow engineering action
- Compliance evidence assembled after the fact
Validation with remediation.
- Runtime validation of exploitable application behavior
- API, business logic, and authorization testing
- Autonomous offensive testing at SDLC speed
- Developer-ready evidence and remediation guidance
- Continuous compliance evidence across releases
What Aptori delivers
Less noise. More proof. Faster fixes.
Runtime Truth
Validate what is actually exploitable based on how applications and APIs behave.
API Security Testing
Test authorization, object access, tenant boundaries, workflows, and abuse paths.
Accelerated Remediation
Give developers root cause, proof, and precise guidance to fix faster.
Continuous Compliance
Support secure-by-design, vulnerability management, and audit evidence.
Coverage for modern application risk
Aptori unifies application security testing across the software lifecycle.
Secure Code Review
SMART analyzes code semantically to find real security weaknesses and generate precise fixes.
Semantic Runtime Validation
Sift validates application and API behavior in CI/CD, staging, and controlled runtime environments.
Software Composition Analysis
SGen identifies vulnerable dependencies, supply chain exposure, and open source risk.
Autonomous Pen Testing
DART continuously simulates attacker behavior to expose exploitable weaknesses.
Security Data Lake
Correlate findings, assets, dependencies, runtime evidence, and remediation status.
AI Security Engineer
Assist with triage, prioritization, code fixes, validation, and security workflow automation.
AI has compressed the exploit window.
Applications are now built from AI-generated code, open source software, APIs, microservices, cloud-native infrastructure, and agent-accessible services. Traditional scanning cannot keep pace.
Aptori helps teams continuously validate security, prove exploitability, and remediate before risk reaches production.
Build protection in. Prove it in runtime.
Proactive application security means protection is built in early, offensive testing moves with every deployment, and runtime validation continuously proves what is actually exploitable.
Build Secure-by-Design
Validate security before release, not after vulnerabilities reach production.
Pull Testing Forward
Bring offensive testing into CI/CD, staging, and release workflows.
Prove Exploitability
Focus on vulnerabilities that are reachable, exploitable, and relevant.
Drive Remediation
Feed proof, root cause, and fix guidance directly back to engineering.
Application security testing and compliance
Generate evidence that applications are tested, vulnerabilities are managed, remediation is tracked, and controls are validated continuously.

Hot Company: Application Security
What is application security testing?
Application security testing is the process of identifying, validating, prioritizing, and remediating vulnerabilities in software applications. A strong application security testing program evaluates source code, APIs, open source dependencies, authentication flows, authorization controls, business logic, cloud-native services, and runtime behavior.
Traditional software application security testing often focused on static code scans, dynamic scans, and periodic penetration tests. Those controls are still useful, but they are no longer enough on their own. Modern applications are updated continuously, built from open source components, exposed through APIs, deployed into Kubernetes environments, and increasingly modified with AI-generated code.
Continuous application security testing helps organizations integrate security validation into the secure software development lifecycle. Instead of waiting for a late-stage report, teams can test earlier, validate risk in runtime-like conditions, and provide developers with the context needed to fix vulnerabilities quickly.
Types of application security testing
A complete application security testing methodology combines multiple techniques. Each method finds a different type of risk. Aptori correlates these signals with runtime evidence so teams can focus on verified exploitability.
Static Application Security Testing
SAST analyzes source code, control flow, and data flow to identify insecure coding patterns before software is deployed.
Dynamic Application Security Testing
DAST tests running applications and APIs to identify vulnerabilities that appear during execution.
Interactive Application Security Testing
IAST combines runtime observation with application context to identify vulnerabilities during testing.
Software Composition Analysis
SCA identifies vulnerable dependencies, outdated packages, SBOM gaps, and software supply chain risk.
API Security Testing
API security testing validates authentication, authorization, object access, business logic, and abuse paths.
Runtime Security Validation
Runtime validation confirms whether a vulnerability is actually reachable, exploitable, and relevant to the application.
Application security testing standards
Application security testing supports secure-by-design initiatives and compliance programs by providing evidence that security controls are tested, vulnerabilities are managed, and remediation is tracked.
- Map application security testing coverage to secure development practices.
- Validate APIs, authorization controls, dependency risk, and runtime behavior.
- Produce continuous evidence for vulnerability management and compliance reporting.
Application security testing FAQs
What is application security testing?
Application security testing identifies, validates, prioritizes, and helps remediate vulnerabilities in applications, APIs, dependencies, and software workflows.
What are the main types of application security testing?
The main types include SAST, DAST, IAST, software composition analysis, API security testing, runtime validation, and penetration testing.
What is continuous application security testing?
It integrates security validation into development, CI/CD, staging, and runtime workflows so risk can be addressed continuously.
How is Aptori different from traditional SAST or DAST?
Aptori correlates code, APIs, dependencies, and runtime behavior to validate exploitability and guide remediation.
How does Aptori support secure-by-design?
Aptori validates whether applications enforce secure behavior before release and provides evidence that controls are working.
Does Aptori help reduce false positives?
Yes. Aptori focuses teams on verified risk by validating exploitability and correlating findings with runtime context.
How does application security testing support compliance?
It provides evidence for testing, remediation, vulnerability management, and control validation across standards such as PCI DSS, NIS2, EU CRA, UK TSA, SOC 2, and HIPAA.
What is runtime application security testing?
Runtime application security testing evaluates how applications behave while running, helping teams confirm whether vulnerabilities can be exploited in realistic conditions.
Turn application security testing into continuous security validation.
Aptori helps teams prove exploitability, accelerate remediation, and maintain continuous compliance across modern application environments.
