Security teams, DevSecOps leaders, platform engineering teams, and enterprises using existing client-side CI/CD tools
What App Defend 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.
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.
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.
