A security team runs multiple security scans (SAST, DAST, SCA) on a web application. They are overwhelmed by the number of findings and need to prioritize which vulnerabilities to remediate first. Which approach is most effective?

Remediate all findings in the order they were reported by the scanners.

Remediate only the findings from the SAST scanner because they are more reliable.

Defer all remediation until the next major release to avoid disrupting development.

Focus on the vulnerabilities that are most likely to be exploited and have the highest business impact.

What is the primary purpose of Application Security Posture Management (ASPM)?

To replace all other security tools with a single scanner that performs all types of analysis

To enforce runtime security policies on production workloads

To manage user access and authentication for cloud applications

To provide continuous visibility, prioritization, and remediation of application security risks across the SDLC

A development team is building a new application and plans to use several open-source libraries. The security team wants to identify known vulnerabilities and license risks in these libraries before they are integrated into the application. Which approach should the security team take?

Run a Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tool that scans the application's dependencies and reports known vulnerabilities and license compliance issues.

Use a static application security testing (SAST) tool to analyze the application's source code for security flaws.

Deploy a web application firewall (WAF) in front of the application to block attacks on known vulnerabilities.

Perform a manual review of each library's documentation and website for known issues.
