AppSec Consolidation
One platform. Every scanner.
Stop managing a sprawl of point tools. Harness brings SAST, SCA, secrets detection, container scanning, and supply chain security onto one platform.
Application Security Testing
Consolidate with an AST platform built into your pipelines.
Too many tools and vendors
Dozens of tools, each with its own setup, tuning, and workflow to manage
One platform
Integrate all your Harness and 3rd-party scanners on a single platform
Every tool is bolted on
Scans run in silos, with no orchestration across tools or unified view of findings
Pipeline-native
Orchestrate scans across every tool, with unified policy and findings
Security is still manual
Tuning, triaging, prioritizing, and reporting - all done manually, for every tool
Agentic AppSec
AI built into the platform sharpens results. Agents and skills handle the toil.
Stop managing a sprawl of point tools. Harness brings SAST, SCA, secrets detection, container scanning, and supply chain security onto one platform.
Legacy AppSec tools bolt on from the outside. Harness lives inside the pipeline - so security runs automatically, policy enforces itself, and you get a unified view across every team and pipeline.
Harness puts AI and agents to work across your AppSec program - and secures the AI and agents your teams are building. Both, on one platform.
Scan AI-generated code for vulnerabilities in the AI coding tool and workflow, the moment it's generated.
Score findings for likelihood of true positives, so your team can cut through the noise and focus on real vulnerabilities.
Scan the skills and prompts your agents are built from, catching injection paths and exposure before they deploy.
Agents triage by exploitability, orchestrate scans for every pipeline, and open verified fix PRs to reduce AppSec toil.
Scan the models your applications and agents are built on, catching vulnerabilities and misconfiguration before they ship.
Extend your SBOM into an AIBOM and inventory every model, tool, and dependency across your AI supply chain.
Pre-built skills that automate complex AppSec tasks, from repo onboarding to compliance evidence.
Configure tests, interpret findings, and act on vulnerabilities through a single natural-language chat interface.
Consolidate all your AppSec scanners onto a single platform, with normalized findings and deduplication across every tool.
Enforce pipeline-level security policy and get a unified view of your AppSec posture across every team and pipeline.
Agentic AppSec platform reduces the toil of tuning tools, managing findings, and tracking fixes, so your team focuses on risk, not busywork.
Application Security Testing (AST) is a comprehensive approach to identifying security vulnerabilities in software applications throughout the development lifecycle. It encompasses multiple testing methodologies including SAST, SCA, and DAST. By integrating AST into DevSecOps pipelines, development teams can detect and remediate security issues earlier in the SDLC, reducing risk and preventing costly breaches in production environments.
Container security protects containerized applications and infrastructure from vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. Container security scanning examines base images, application code, and runtime configurations for vulnerabilities. It's critical in modern DevSecOps because a single vulnerable container image can be deployed thousands of times across infrastructure, exponentially increasing risk exposure.
Software Composition Analysis focuses specifically on third-party and open-source components, while traditional application security testing primarily examines proprietary code. SCA tools maintain databases of known vulnerabilities in millions of open-source packages, providing continuous monitoring. Combining SCA with SAST and container security creates a complete application security testing strategy addressing both custom code and dependency risks.
Application security testing integrates into DevSecOps workflows by embedding security checks directly into CI/CD pipelines. SAST scans analyze code commits, SCA tools monitor dependencies during builds, and container security scans validate images before deployment. This shift-left approach enables development teams to identify and fix vulnerabilities automatically without disrupting development velocity, making security a shared responsibility.
Static application security testing should be implemented early in the software development lifecycle, ideally when developers commit code to version control. Integrating SAST into DevSecOps pipelines enables immediate feedback on security issues while code context remains fresh. Organizations implementing SAST during development reduce remediation costs by 100x compared to fixing vulnerabilities in production.
Automating application security testing in CI/CD pipelines enables continuous security validation without manual intervention. Automated SAST, SCA, and container security scans provide immediate feedback to developers, preventing vulnerable code from reaching production. This DevSecOps approach reduces security bottlenecks, accelerates release cycles, and ensures consistent security standards. Organizations with automated AST report 50% faster vulnerability remediation times.
Selecting application security testing tools requires evaluating your technology stack, development workflow, and security requirements. Prioritize solutions offering comprehensive coverage including SAST, SCA, and container security. The best AST tools integrate seamlessly into DevSecOps pipelines, provide low false-positive rates, offer developer-friendly remediation guidance, and support your programming languages and frameworks. Consider scalability, reporting capabilities, and compliance support when evaluating.
