About Apiiro

Apiiro offers an agentic application security platform designed to help enterprises design, develop, and deliver secure software faster by identifying and mitigating risks before code is written and throughout the software development lifecycle. The platform integrates deeply with native scanners and provides comprehensive visibility from code to runtime, enabling organizations to understand their software architecture and prioritize security efforts effectively. Apiiro is tailored for large enterprises seeking to consolidate application security tools and reduce backlogs by automating risk assessments and remediation with AI-based threat modeling and runtime context.

The platform supports multiple phases of application security including design risk detection, code risk fixing, and secure delivery enforcement. It offers capabilities such as automated threat modeling, real-time software inventory, risk-based code reviews, secrets detection, and software supply chain protection. Apiiro’s solution is built to scale, analyzing over 100,000 code repositories via read-only APIs, and supports compliance with standards like PCI, NIST, and SOC 2. This makes it particularly valuable for CIOs aiming to integrate security seamlessly into DevOps pipelines and ensure regulatory compliance while accelerating development velocity.

How to evaluate Application Security

This is how the CIOPages Research Team evaluates this category. It is not an assessment of Apiiro. It comes from our DevSecOps & Application Security Testing buyer guide.

25%

Finding Accuracy & Risk Prioritization

False-positive and false-negative rates on your own code; reachability analysis (is the vulnerable function actually called?); runtime/exposure context; EPSS/CVSS-based scoring; how a flood of findings collapses to a short, ranked, defensible work queue

20%

Developer Workflow Integration

Native IDE plugins, PR/MR checks and inline comments, SCM (GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket/Azure DevOps) and CI/CD integration, quality/security gates, credible one-click autofix, and how little context-switching a developer needs to remediate

20%

Scanning Coverage & Engine Depth

SAST, SCA, secrets, IaC, container, and DAST/API coverage; supported languages and frameworks; vulnerability and malicious-package intelligence; SBOM generation and open-source license analysis; scan speed on large monorepos

15%

ASPM & Consolidation

De-duplication and correlation across first- and third-party scanners, code-to-cloud/runtime context, application risk graph or single risk score per app, policy-as-code, and openness to ingesting tools you already own rather than locking you in

10%

AI-Generated Code Security

Detection of AI-assisted/AI-authored code, guardrails for coding-assistant and agentic workflows, security of LLM/MCP integrations and open-source AI models, and whether the platform keeps pace with code generated faster than humans review it

10%

Governance, Compliance & Deployment

RBAC/SSO, audit trails and attestation, policy gates mapped to PCI-DSS/SOC 2/NIST SSDF, SBOM/VEX export, SaaS vs. self-managed/air-gapped and FedRAMP options, and clean API/data export for your own reporting

API Security Platforms

The API is now the primary attack surface, and a WAF pointed at it isn't API security. Evaluate Salt, Akamai (Noname), Imperva, F5, Traceable, Wallarm, Cequence, and Data Theorem on whether they actually discover your shadow APIs and catch BOLA and business-logic abuse at runtime — not just sign endpoints off as “protected.”

Attack Surface Management (ASM / CTEM)

Evaluate Wiz, CrowdStrike Falcon Surface, Microsoft Defender EASM, Cortex Xpanse, Censys, CyCognito, Tenable, and runZero across EASM, CAASM, and platform-embedded camps — judged on discovery accuracy and how cleanly the surface feeds prioritization, not how many assets it claims to find.

Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB)

Evaluate Netskope, Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps, Zscaler, and Palo Alto for SaaS security, shadow IT discovery, and data protection.
