Beyond Tooling: Why CTOs & CISOs Must Lead AppSec Evaluations

March 26, 2025
Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) and Developer Security Posture Management (DevSPM) tools promise visibility, prioritization, and increased security coverage—compelling offerings for any security-conscious organization. However, there's a critical gap that technical evaluations led solely by AppSec engineers often overlook.

The Evolution Security Never Finished: From Reactive to Excellent

March 22, 2025
From Reactive to Engineering Excellence In our original " Toyota Moment " post, we exposed the fundamental flaw in how cybersecurity has evolved: we’ve treated it like post-production inspection, not like quality engineering. This follow-up digs deeper into how we got here, why the industry's stuck in a loop, and what the shift to Execution Intelligence really means. The security industry, much like early manufacturing, was built on reactivity—not design. But just as Toyota revolutionized manufacturing with Lean systems and embedded quality, software security is ready for its own transformation. 🔁 Here’s how it’s played out over the last 25 years: REACTIVE (2000-2015) — Piling on tools, alerts, and policies ⬇ WARRANTY (2015-2025) — CSPM + GRC retrofits risk after code ships; shift-left emerges ⬇ PROACTIVE (2022-2026) — ASPM solves what CSPM misses (but only tracks and doesn't fix the overarching problems with the security "system") ⬇ EXCELLENCE (2025-FUTURE) — Start Left as a methodology connects risk to developer behavior and builds security into execution itself

Repo-First Thinking Is Failing Application Security—Here’s What Actually Works

Traditional Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) vendors are getting it wrong because they’re focused on the wrong unit of measure.

We Built Cybersecurity Like A Broken Factory—Its Time For Its Toyota Moment

March 13, 2025
The Industry is Stuck in a Broken Model For decades, cybersecurity has been a bolt-on process—chasing vulnerabilities, enforcing controls, and tracking risks instead of fixing the way software is built. The result? More tools, more alerts, more friction—but no real improvement in execution. Engineering continues to move forward, shipping faster than ever, but security remains reactive, layered on at the end of the development lifecycle, slowing teams down.

CSPM vs. Runtime Protection vs. ASPM: Why ASPM is the Foundational Layer for Secure Development

Security teams often rely on CSPM (Cloud Security Posture Management) and Runtime Protection to safeguard cloud environments and applications after deployment. However, these solutions fail to address the root cause of vulnerabilities—unsecure development practices.

The CNAPP Illusion: Why Best-of-Breed Security Wins Over Patchwork Acquisitions & ASPM Is Still The Foundation

January 3, 2025
The cybersecurity industry loves yet another good buzzword. Right now, CNAPP (Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform) is the term being marketed as the ultimate convergence of ASPM (Application Security Posture Management) and CSPM (Cloud Security Posture Management). But here’s the reality: CNAPP isn’t truly a best-of-breed convergence—it’s an acquisition-fueled patchwork of separate tools stitched together.

The Illusion of Integration: How CSPM & ASPM Acqusitions Are Building Silos Within a Platform

November 21, 2024
While CSPM & ASPM platforms stitched together in an acquisition claim to offer an integrated approach to security by aggregating data across the full lifecycle of software development, they often fall short of delivering true integration. Instead of fostering a cohesive, product-centric DevOps model, these platforms inadvertently create silos within their own systems. The root of the problem lies in the way these platforms are designed—they focus on providing lifecycle scan aggregation without addressing the need for a people-focused, product-centric implementation that truly facilitates DevSecOps.
