How to evaluate Application Security

This is how the CIOPages Research Team evaluates this category. It is not an assessment of Trivy (Aqua). 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
