Cisco Secure Application reduces the risk of security exposure for an APM-managed application. Normally, the traditional vulnerability scanning occurs before the application is launched to production, and then continues on a monthly or quarterly cadence. As soon as the app is deployed to production, new security gaps, and zero-day exploits make the application vulnerable despite pre-production testing. Cisco Secure Application enables continuous vulnerability assessment and protection by scanning code execution to prevent possible exploits.

Cisco Secure Application enables:

• The IT Operations team responsible for performance monitoring to gain real-time access to all security events.
• Application security developers and application developers to gain insights into violations of best practices and to collaborate on a solution without friction.
• Developer operations personas to add security into the existing automation, which benefits the Developer Security Operations (DevSecOps) environment.
• Businesses to operate at a faster pace with a lower risk profile due to constant run-time protection, real-time remediation, and security automation.
