In this Brand Story podcast episode, as part of our Black Hat USA conference coverage, host Sean Martin connects with Alex Babar. Alex introduces listeners to Brinqa, a platform that centralizes vulnerability and security findings across various domains, such as infrastructure and cloud security, emphasizing the relevance of application security.

The conversation includes Sean's insights about the challenges of differentiating application systems from the past and the complexities of the modern cloud and API-driven environments. Sean emphasizes the importance of understanding the dynamics of application risk management, bringing up the distinction between security posture and application security posture management (ASPM).

As the discussion progresses, Alex highlights the increasing visibility of the term 'ASPM' within the security domain. Drawing from his experience at Black Hat, he underscores the saturation of detection tools and the challenge of streamlining vast amounts of data from different sources. Alex notes the prominence of terms like 'application security posture', suggesting a clear industry trend. He elucidates the role of ASPM, which not only centralizes data but also correlates it with business contexts, thereby aiding in risk prioritization.

The podcast takes a deeper dive as Sean probes the challenges that security professionals might face in integrating this new space into their existing frameworks and programs. Alex offers valuable advice, urging organizations to self-reflect on their risk reduction strategies and to maintain a healthy balance between detecting and fixing vulnerabilities.
