Advancing App Security for a New Era of Threats

Threat detection solutions come in many forms; extended detection and response (XDR), endpoint detection and response (EDR) and network detection and response (NDR). When it comes to detecting threats to an organization each of these “DRs” identifies specific elements of an attack path, but they may be lacking visibility into application-specific threats because these solutions see an application as a “black-box”.

This session covers Application detection and response (ADR) solutions which look for vulnerabilities and exploits within the application itself.

Key takeaways:
- Understand how ADR observes and analyses applications bringing visibility and context down to the code level.
- How to contrast ADR with application layer coding verification mechanisms such as RASP, SCA, SAST and DAST.
- Understand how ADR differs from deploying a WAF or CNAPP solution.
- Learn how ADR observations and context can be integrated with the other ”DRs” to build a more complete picture of an attack to ensure an end-to-end response.
