State of ASPM 2026: key trends and emerging threats
ASPM went mandatory in 2026. Here's how supply chain attacks, AI-generated code, and Prisma Cloud's cloud-first architecture are reshaping what buyers actually need.
ASPM best practices for enhancing security posture
ASPM best practices for correlating findings, prioritizing by reachability, and automating remediation — with a concrete look at how Prisma Cloud's approach compares.
Mobile Application Security: Risks & Tools
BLASTPASS, XcodeGhost, and a 2024 OWASP supply-chain category show mobile app security is its own attack surface — here's what to fix first, and with what tools.
ASPM in action: real-world use cases
ASPM use cases from alert fatigue to the XZ Utils backdoor and PCI DSS 4.0 deadlines — what Prisma Cloud's cloud-native approach misses and how code-first ASPM closes the gap.
Top 10 Application Security Acronyms (Glossary)
SAST, DAST, SBOM, CVSS, CWE, SSDF — 10 AppSec acronyms defined with real CVEs, dates, and standards so you use them correctly, not interchangeably.
Overcoming AppSec chaos: modes of ASPM adoption
ASPM adoption isn't one path. We break down point-tool, platform-consolidation (Prisma Cloud), and workflow-first modes — and why most stall after the pilot.
What is an Application Vulnerability
A flaw in code, config, or a dependency that attackers can exploit. Learn the types, scoring, and how vulnerabilities differ from risk and threats.
Security Software Companies: How to Evaluate a Vendor Shortlist
A practical framework for scoring security software companies on coverage, integration depth, and total cost before you sign a multi-year contract.
What is Attack Surface Management
Attack surface management explained: what it covers, how it differs from vulnerability management, and why CISA and Gartner now treat it as core AppSec.
What is an Attack Surface
An attack surface is every exposed point attackers can use to get in — code, configs, credentials, and dependencies. Here's how to define, measure, and shrink it.
Application Security: a practitioner's guide
A practitioner's guide to application security: SAST, SCA, secrets, and supply chain integrity—plus how Safeguard compares to Prisma Cloud's CNAPP.
What is CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System)
CVSS scores rate vulnerability severity from 0.0 to 10.0 — but a 9.8 doesn't mean exploitable in your app. Here's how the math and priorities really work.
