Application environments are becoming more complex as organizations adopt cloud-native architectures, microservices, application programming interface (API)-driven applications, and distributed engineering practices. This has led to fragmented security workflows, duplicated findings across tools, and limited visibility into how risks evolve across the software development lifecycle. Security teams also struggle to coordinate across other areas, especially when ownership is distributed. ASPM has emerged to address coordination and governance gaps by correlating findings from existing security tools, enriching them with context, and aligning remediation with developer workflows. By correlating findings across code, pipelines, and deployment environments, ASPM helps organizations interpret application risks in a more structured, consistent, and operationally manageable way.
