AppDefend Application Security Platform
AppDefend is an application security testing platform that connects with external SCM and CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, GitLab, and other existing client ecosystems to fetch scan reports and present them in a unified security dashboard. It is also available as an on-premise solution for enterprises that need private deployment, internal hosting control, and stronger compliance alignment.

Built for
Security teams, DevSecOps leaders, platform engineering teams, and enterprises using existing client-side CI/CD tools or on-premise security environments
What AppDefend helps you do
Bring together AST results, pipeline integrations, and vulnerability workflows needed to secure modern applications at scale.
Connect
Integrate with SCM and CI/CD tools already used by the client, including Jenkins, GitLab, and similar platforms.
Ingest
Fetch scan reports from the connected pipelines and normalize the findings into a unified dashboard.
Manage
Handle out-of-the-box vulnerability management with triage, ownership, prioritization, and tracking.
Scan
Use our custom Docker-based images for SAST, secret detection, dependency scanning, SCA, DAST, and more.
Deploy
Run AppDefend as an on-premise solution when your organization needs private infrastructure, internal network boundaries, and tighter compliance control.
Core highlights
External tool compatibility
Designed to depend on and integrate with existing client-side CI/CD tools instead of forcing teams to replace them.
Centralized AppSec dashboard
Aggregate findings from multiple scanners and pipelines into one reporting and remediation workspace.
Built-in AST and vulnerability workflows
Support multiple testing modes and manage vulnerabilities out of the box from discovery to closure.
On-premise deployment support
Fit regulated environments that need local deployment, tighter access control, and internal governance over security data.
Ideal use cases
Organizations that already use Jenkins, GitLab, or other CI/CD tools and want a dedicated AppSec visibility layer.
DevSecOps teams that need one place to view, prioritize, and govern security findings across pipelines.
Teams that want custom Docker-based scanners for SAST, secret detection, SCA, dependency scanning, DAST, and more.
Enterprises that need vulnerability management built directly into the application security platform.
Organizations that prefer an on-premise AppSec deployment model for compliance, network isolation, or internal hosting standards.
