Panaseer’s Application Security solution provides continuous monitoring and control over the security of in-house applications. Through near-real-time metrics and insights, it delivers a comprehensive view of application security health, linking each application’s security posture to its business owner to drive accountability.

Integrating security with application development, Panaseer ensures that security remains a priority throughout the application lifecycle. It enables CISOs and security teams to track, report, and communicate security risks effectively across the organization.

Panaseer automates data collection and analysis, reducing manual effort and allowing teams to quickly identify critical vulnerabilities and compliance gaps. Configurable dashboards align security metrics with industry standards, simplifying compliance with regulatory requirements and internal policies.

This proactive approach fosters a culture of continuous improvement, positioning security as a strategic business asset and supporting resilience in today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape.

Key benefits

  • Improve Visibility and Accountability: Associate each application's security status with its business owner to drive responsibility and transparency.
  • Prioritize Risks: Focus remediation efforts on security flaws that pose the highest risk to the business.
  • Identify Root Causes: Pinpoint common flaws to help prioritize training and address underlying issues.
  • Unified Scanning Insights: Combine data from various scanning approaches—like DAST, SAST, and penetration testing—to provide a complete view of security gaps.
  • Continuous Compliance Assurance: Track scanning frequency and remediation status to ensure continuous alignment with SLAs, bringing hidden risks to light.

How it works

Panaseer’s Application Security equips teams with diagnostic and compliance metrics to monitor AppSec controls, identify priority actions, and track progress. Metrics provide insight into which applications are scanned regularly, where flaws are unresolved, and which critical vulnerabilities need attention.

You can filter metrics by severity, business unit, or application owner, allowing you to assess AppSec performance and drive accountability across the organization.

Typical use cases

  • Are flaws being fixed on time? Get metrics on performance against SLAs to ensure timely remediation and minimize risk.
  • What should we fix first? Focus on flaws impacting the most critical applications to prioritize risk-based remediation.
  • How can we hold app owners accountable? View application ownership and compare security performance by business area, keeping leaders informed of the risks tied to their applications.
  • Which applications have critical issues or have never been scanned? Identify unscanned applications or open critical vulnerabilities to continuously improve security practices.

This monitoring solution brings clarity and accountability to AppSec management, helping you maintain a secure and resilient application environment across the organization.
