Across several enterprise deployments, a consistent pattern is emerging. Teams are moving away from fragmented AppSec stacks and toward posture-centric platforms that prioritize signal quality, workflow integration, and measurable outcomes.
In recent case studies, Apiiro appears repeatedly, not because it detects more, but because it helps teams act faster and with greater confidence.
#1. Signal Quality Improved, Noise Declined
Security programs often fail not from lack of visibility, but from lack of trust in the findings they receive. At Paddle, false positives had become a persistent drain on engineering time. Developers routinely triaged issues that proved irrelevant, eroding confidence in the process.
According to Gedas Skikas, the organization saw a reduction of more than 90 percent in false positives after adopting Apiiro.
The impact was immediate. Fewer distractions. Faster validation. Greater developer engagement. This is not a marginal improvement. When alerts are reliable, teams respond. When they are not, tickets are ignored. Signal quality, more than detection breadth, determines whether a security program is effective in practice.
#2. Governance and Reporting Became Defensible
Security leaders are not just managing risk. They are expected to explain it clearly to executives, auditors, and boards. And that conversation has changed. The question is no longer how many vulnerabilities were discovered. It is how much meaningful exposure remains, who owns it, and how quickly it is being reduced.
In its evaluation of Apiiro, GSoft focused less on adding another detection layer and more on embedding security directly into everyday engineering workflows. The objective was pragmatic. Reduce friction. Improve clarity.
Dan Lohrmann, CISO at Presidio, stated: “Boards are no longer interested in hearing about MITRE ATT&CK mappings, patch cadences, or NIST maturity scores. They want to understand how cyber investment safeguards growth, reduces financial exposure, and protects enterprise value. The most effective CISOs now speak the language of the business: risk, return, and resilience.”
Make security part of delivery rather than a checkpoint after the fact. By consolidating posture insights and aligning findings with ownership and business context, teams gained a single, consistent view of risk that both engineering and leadership could trust.
The operational benefit was immediate. Fewer disconnected reports. Cleaner ticketing. Clearer prioritization. But the strategic value was higher up the chain. Leadership could articulate risk in business terms, not technical noise.
#3. Context Replaced Guesswork in Risk Prioritization
Severity scores rarely reflect business reality. A critical vulnerability buried in an unused path may pose little risk, while a moderate issue affecting a customer-facing service may require immediate action.
At Kaltura, Roy Avrahamy described the primary benefit as improved visibility and context. Apiiro correlated findings with runtime exposure, ownership, and operational impact before notifying both security and development teams.
“We have over 200 developers … and only one me.” Avrahamy shared, “I use Apiiro to understand and quantify our application risk and help me prioritize the risks that can have an impact on my business.”
Remediation delays often stem from missing information, not missing capability. When context is clear, action follows naturally.
#4. Automation Reduced Operational Overhead
Manual triage remains one of the most underestimated costs in application security. One of the persistent challenges in application security has been the gap between identifying risk and actually closing it. Detection velocity has outstripped remediation velocity for years, leaving security teams with sprawling backlogs and mounting technical debt.
SoFi’s experience with Apiiro provides a clear example of how posture-centric approaches change that dynamic. As a team of 16 supporting 2000+ developers across 5200+ repositories, the SoFi AppSec team knew they couldn’t possibly manually review every code change.
They sought a partner to help them gain visibility across their application portfolio to focus on the most business-critical risks, scale their security review efforts, and optimize the time they spent fixing risks.
According to SoFi’s case study, teams using Apiiro saw a dramatic reduction in mean time to remediation (MTTR). Where previously issues lingered for days or weeks, prioritized, context-aware workflows enabled fixes in minutes rather than days.
#5. Security Became Application-Aware
Traditional tools analyze code artifacts in isolation. They rarely understand how the application behaves in production or how risks connect to business functions.
For Daniel Krosnockucki, Director of Application Security, the distinction was operational. Apiiro’s value came from understanding the application context, not simply reporting vulnerabilities.
In practice, this translated into better-structured remediation through JIRA, clearer ownership, and more focused security reviews. Teams were able to customize dashboards to reflect how they actually build and deploy software. The outcome was measurable. Faster remediation cycles and shorter timelines between development and production.
Akamai Technologies and Apiiro expanded their partnership to deliver a comprehensive application security posture management platform. This collaboration aligned Akamai’s strengths in runtime and edge security with Apiiro’s contextual posture intelligence across the code-to-runtime lifecycle, enabling enterprises to unify discovery, risk prioritization, and governance workflows on a single control plane.
Security did not become a bottleneck. It became part of the workflow. For engineering-led organizations, that integration often determines whether controls are adopted or bypassed.
A Broader Market Signal
Taken together, these examples point to a larger trend in enterprise AppSec.
Security teams are no longer selecting tools based on detection breadth alone. They are prioritizing platforms that deliver:
• Higher signal quality
• Contextual prioritization
• Embedded workflows
• Operational efficiency
• Measurable governance
Apiiro is benefiting from this shift not because it promises more alerts, but because it aligns with how modern organizations need security to operate.
Application security is moving away from fragmented testing toward continuous posture management. Away from manual triage toward automation. Away from activity metrics toward outcomes.
FAQs
1. Why are AppSec teams consolidating tools into a single platform instead of adding more scanners?
Because more tools stopped translating into more control. Teams ended up with overlapping alerts, conflicting priorities, and no single view of risk. Consolidation isn’t elegance. It’s survival. Fewer systems mean clearer ownership and faster decisions.
2. What actually breaks when AI accelerates software delivery?
AI increases code output faster than humans can review findings. Scans keep running, but backlogs pile up, and fixes slow down. Security becomes reactive by default. The bottleneck shifts from visibility to decision-making.
3. How should executives judge whether their AppSec program is working?
If leadership can’t name the top five real risks in production within minutes, the program isn’t working. Vulnerability counts don’t matter. Exposure does. Time to remediation does. Ownership clarity does. The board cares about how long risk lives in the system, not how many tickets were opened.
4. What’s the operational difference between posture management and traditional testing tools?
Testing tools find problems. Posture management helps teams fix the right ones. It connects code, dependencies, and runtime impact, so risk can be prioritized by business consequence. The trade-off is depth over breadth.
5. Where does Apiiro realistically fit into an enterprise AppSec strategy?
Apiiro isn’t another scanner. It functions more like a coordination layer, correlating findings, adding context, and automating prioritization across the lifecycle. That reduces friction between security and engineering.
