Get details on Legit’s new capabilities that allow AppSec teams to prevent introducing vulnerabilities..

Software development, accelerated by AI, continues to outpace traditional security practices, leading to an influx of vulnerabilities that drain resources and hinder innovation. Addressing vulnerabilities post-deployment is costly, time-consuming, and slows the delivery of new capabilities.  

To help organizations overcome these challenges, Legit Security is pleased to introduce advanced prevention capabilities in its AI-native ASPM platform. By combining proactive prevention insights, automated controls, and robust guardrails, Legit enables teams not just to find and fix vulnerabilities, but to prevent them from entering the codebase in the first place.  

Following Legit’s Find-Fix-Prevent approach, the Legit ASPM platform empowers organizations to scale business risk reduction effectively.  

Find: Clear Visibility Into Your Risk Landscape  

Legit provides unmatched visibility into your entire application security landscape – from the software factory to runtime – powered by Legit Context, offering teams a unified view of risks and prioritizing the most critical vulnerabilities from code to cloud.  

Fix: Addressing Issues at the Core  

Legit’s Root Cause Remediation capability empowers organizations to address multiple vulnerabilities across the CI/CD pipeline by solving their underlying causes in a single action, dramatically improving productivity and security posture.  

Prevent: Advancing Legit’s AI-Native ASPM Platform  

Prevention is the crucial final piece completing Legit’s comprehensive ASPM approach. By integrating proactive security measures directly into your development lifecycle, Legit ensures vulnerabilities are stopped before they ever reach production. This forward-looking strategy saves significant resources and allows teams to focus their efforts on innovation rather than security rework.   

Legit’s new prevention dashboard helps security teams proactively stop vulnerabilities at the earliest development stages – long before code reaches production. Legit’s dashboard also gives you a clear and uncluttered view of when, where and how prevention is happening – or where prevention opportunities exist. Here’s how:  

Proactive PR Checks  

Embed automated security checks seamlessly into your pull requests. Legit’s PR checks cover secrets, IaC, CI/CD risks, SAST, and SCA, enabling teams to proactively identify and remediate risks within their existing workflows.  

Identifying Missing Guardrails and Controls  

Legit’s AI-driven insights highlight gaps in your SDLC, pinpointing exactly where critical security guardrails, such as SAST sensors, are missing. It identifies preventive controls with the highest security impact and visualizes preventable vulnerabilities, allowing teams to prioritize effectively.  

Centralized Gap Analysis  

With Legit’s dedicated prevention dashboard, security teams gain a unified view of their prevention strategy. Security leaders can clearly visualize security coverage gaps across repositories and applications, track prevented vulnerabilities, and quantify time and cost savings. AppSec managers and engineers can swiftly fix coverage gaps, enhancing developer productivity and security effectiveness.  

Secure Development Policies, Made Simple  

Legit simplifies secure development policy enforcement through the Legit Posture Score  — gamified scoring combined with automated workflows, driving developer engagement and accountability. By clearly highlighting areas for improvement, Legit encourages best practices, ensuring secure software from the start.  

Why Prevention Is Essential for a Scalable AppSec Program  

Legit’s find-fix-prevent approach delivers comprehensive application security by proactively addressing vulnerabilities. Stopping issues before they emerge enables teams to spend less time on remediation and more time innovating.
