????????-?????????? ???????????????? ???? ??????????????—?????? ????’?? ???????? ???? ???????? ???? Finally, someone said it. Software is only as secure as the way it’s built—and yet we keep slapping bandaids on at the repo level, hoping it’s enough. Most ASPM tools today? They track risks per repo, flood teams with findings, and leave us to connect the dots. No context. No coordination. No alignment to the actual products we ship or the business value they represent. ?? One app = 20 repos ?? One repo = 5 apps (hello, monorepo) ?? No app ever = 1 repo, clean and simple And yet… our tools still pretend that's how the world works. If your ASPM (or even CSPM) tool is repo-first, you’re not solving risk. You’re just listing problems. ?? Real security isn’t about a bunch of disconnected scans. ? It’s about governance. Ownership. Process. Product context. ? It’s about seeing how software is built, deployed, and maintained—across teams and environments. It's time to fix the way software is built, not just the output. Because repo-based security? It’s not cutting it anymore. Agree? Disagree? Feeling this pain too? Let’s talk. ?? #ApplicationSecurity #ASPM #AppSecStruggles #DevSecOps #ProductSecurity #SecureByDesign

?? Fix Security Bugs for 1% of the Cost—Before They Wreck Your Code ?? Security at the end of the dev cycle is like locking the door after the burglars have already looted your house. Developer-led security flips the script—baking security into development before vulnerabilities turn into million-dollar disasters. ?? Why Should Devs Care? ?? Cost Matters – Fix a bug in production, and it could cost 100x more than catching it early. ? Ship Faster – Security bottlenecks slow down releases. Embed security upfront, and you push code with confidence (not panic). ??? Fewer Incidents – The best way to avoid breaches? Prevent them. Companies with developer-led security see 50% fewer security incidents. ?? The Numbers Don't Lie ?? $4.45M – Average cost of a data breach (IBM 2023). ?? 90% of security vulnerabilities exist in third-party code (aka, what you're shipping right now). ?? Teams with DevSecOps release code 2x faster—because security isn't a last-minute fire drill. ?? What’s Your Take? How does your team handle security today? Are you fixing issues early, or are they creeping into production? Let's talk—drop your thoughts in the comments! ??
