The Demand for ASPM Is Exploding!
Did you know that Gartner predicts that by 2026, 40% of security teams will have an Application Security Posture Management solution?
Welcome to Cycode's ASPM Spotlight newsletter, where we shine a light on all things related to Application Security Posture Management (ASPM). ASPM is a relatively new AppSec platform that addresses the many shortcomings of traditional AppSec point solutions.??
Among its many features, ASPM promises full visibility from code to cloud, enhanced prioritization, and automated remediation. It delivers a full suite of application security testing (AST) tools as well as software supply chain security tools. The end result: ASPM breaks down the silos between security and development, promoting a culture of collaboration in which security is a team sport and AppSec is actually effective in reducing risk.
Gartner Predicts
Now back to Gartner…
In Innovation Insight for Application Security Posture Management, Gartner predicts that 40% - almost half of organizations! - will adopt an ASPM solution by 2026. Considering that only 5% of orgs currently use an ASPM platform, Gartner believes that the ASPM market is poised for hypergrowth.?
One of the key findings from the Gartner report is that as applications become more complex, visibility into defects suffers. This impacts the overall security of an application and makes it harder to prioritize and remediate application risks.?
In our own State of ASPM 2024 report, we also uncovered data about the limitations in the traditional approach of purchasing multiple point solutions to protect your applications and software supply chains. In today’s edition of ASPM Spotlight, we are diving deep into one of many insights: that tool sprawl is actually causing more harm than good.?
Insight: Tool Sprawl Is Causing Harm
With attack surfaces becoming more unmanageable by the minute and malicious actors lurking around every corner, organizations have been turning to a wide range of AppSec tools to protect themselves. Every time a new threat emerges, it seems like a new point solution enters the market. This results in security teams purchasing and managing a surplus of tools.?
Our data shows that 95% of security professionals surveyed are currently using 20 or more security tools across their developer and security teams. On average, security teams use 49 different tools.
When you consider that most security teams are very lean, managing this elevated number of tools simply isn’t realistic.

Our data shows that, instead of improving matters, the proliferation of AppSec tools currently in use across organizations is contributing to the feeling of being overwhelmed. Almost 4 in 5 (78%) security professionals surveyed say they find managing multiple different security tools challenging.
This sentiment of not having adequate resources to manage a large number of tools is one of the drivers of ASPM adoption. A single platform has a lower learning curve and requires fewer staffing resources.
ASPM has many other benefits too, such as breaking down data silos and improving visibility.
In our next newsletter, we’ll look at how data silos and blind spots impact AppSec. Hint: tool sprawl can actually make these two problems worse. Subscribe to ASPM spotlight today so you don’t miss any of these great insights.
