Modern organizations build and deploy software at unprecedented speed, often across diverse architectures, languages, and supply‑chain ecosystems. Yet application risk — spanning software vulnerabilities, open‑source exposure and developer knowledge gaps —remains one of the most critical enterprise threats. Effective risk management requires a structured approach: identifying and assessing risk early, reviewing and prioritizing based on criticality, enabling rapid remediation, and enforcing continuous policy compliance. OpenText’s Application Security Platform enables a repeatable improvement cycle that strengthens posture while supporting development velocity.
