| Strengths (neutral, vendor-sourced) | Application Security (ASPM): Developer-first SCA, SAST, container, and IaC scanning with strong IDE and pull-request workflow and broad ecosystem coverage. | Application Security (ASPM): Broad AppSec coverage (SAST, SCA, API, IaC, container, ASPM) built for enterprise scale. |
|---|---|---|
| Gaps / watch-outs | Application Security (ASPM): Public materials emphasize developer breadth; orchestration of third-party scanners into a unified ASPM view is less central. | Application Security (ASPM): Breadth can add configuration/tuning overhead, and result volume needs strong prioritization. |
