Solution
Application and API security
Application security finds and fixes flaws in the software you build before attackers can use them. Modern programmes test running applications and APIs, validate which findings can really be exploited, and feed the confirmed ones to developers in the tools they already use.
The problem with noisy testing
Teams run many scanners and receive long lists of findings, most of which are never fixed. AI coding assistants add code faster than reviewers can check it. Developers lose trust in tools that raise false alarms, and real flaws wait in the queue.
What good looks like
- Testing that runs in CI/CD and in the IDE, not once a year.
- Findings validated for exploitability, so developers see fewer and better tickets.
- One system of record that merges results from every scanner.
- Retesting that proves a fix works.
- Coverage for APIs and AI-powered features, not only web pages.
Vendors that deliver this through Evanssion

Questions to ask when choosing a solution
- What share of findings are confirmed as exploitable?
- Does it fit our pipeline and ticketing tools without extra work for developers?
- Does it test APIs and AI features?
- How does it prove that a fix worked?
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between SAST and DAST?
Static testing (SAST) reads source code without running it. Dynamic testing (DAST) probes a running application like an attacker. Most programmes use both.
What is ASPM?
Application security posture management brings findings from many tools into one place, ranks them by risk and tracks them to closure.
Do we need to test APIs separately?
APIs expose business logic and data directly, so they need their own testing. Good tools discover and test APIs as part of the same workflow.
