12 Best ASPM Tools (2026)
We tested 12 ASPM platforms for enterprise teams. Aggregate SAST, DAST, SCA findings in one dashboard. Free and commercial options compared.
- We compared 12 ASPM tools — 1 open-source (DefectDojo with 200+ parsers), 2 freemium (Faraday, Jit, Aikido Security), and 9 commercial including ArmorCode (320+ integrations) and Cycode (#1 Gartner SSC Security).
- The ASPM market grew from $515M in 2024 to $686.8M in 2025, projected to reach $2.28B by 2030 at 27.2% CAGR (Frost & Sullivan). Vulnerability exploitation was the initial access method in 20% of breaches (Verizon 2025 DBIR).
- DefectDojo is the strongest free option for teams with existing scanners. Jit and Aikido Security include built-in SAST, SCA, and secrets scanning — no need to set up separate tools.
- Invicti ASPM (formerly Kondukto, acquired August 2025) stands out with proof-based DAST that confirms exploitability before flagging issues, cutting false positives at the source.
- 47% of DevSecOps professionals say failure to prioritize vulnerabilities contributes greatly to vulnerability backlogs (Ponemon/Rezilion, 2022) — exactly the problem ASPM solves through risk-based correlation and automated remediation workflows.
What is ASPM?
As your application security program matures, you accumulate findings from SAST, DAST, SCA, and other tools. ASPM (Application Security Posture Management) platforms aggregate these results into a single view, deduplicate findings, and help you prioritize based on actual risk.
ASPM evolved from ASOC (Application Security Orchestration and Correlation).
The key difference is that ASPM focuses on posture management and risk context, not just aggregation.
Modern ASPM tools correlate findings with runtime data, asset inventory, and business criticality to surface what actually matters. AppSec Santa reviews every ASPM tool on the market to help you compare them side by side.
The ASPM market is scaling rapidly. According to Frost & Sullivan, global ASPM revenue climbed from $515 million in 2024 to $686.8 million in 2025, and is projected to reach $2.28 billion by 2030 at a 27.2% CAGR (Frost & Sullivan, 2025). The Verizon 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report found that vulnerability exploitation was the initial access method in 20% of breaches (Verizon 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report). By mid-2025, over 21,500 CVEs had been cataloged, roughly 38% rated High or Critical severity. 47% of DevSecOps professionals say failure to prioritize vulnerabilities contributes greatly to vulnerability backlogs (Ponemon/Rezilion, 2022), which is exactly what ASPM tools solve.
“Security teams are drowning in findings from a dozen different tools, each with its own dashboard and severity rating,” explains Chris Wysopal, Chief Security Evangelist and co-founder of Veracode. “ASPM brings order to chaos by correlating everything and surfacing what actually matters to the business.”
Advantages
- • Unified visibility across all security tools
- • Risk-based prioritization with business context
- • Automated remediation workflows
- • Security KPIs and trend tracking
- • Deduplication and correlation across tools
Limitations
- • Integration complexity with legacy tools
- • Requires mature AppSec program to maximize value
- • Can become another dashboard nobody checks
- • Risk models need tuning for your environment
Why You Need an ASPM Tool
Software development teams grow exponentially while security teams struggle to keep pace.
New security tools keep appearing, making it harder for understaffed teams to manage without centralization.
Unified Visibility
You have nine different tools for vulnerability detection: nine issue reports, nine dashboards. An ASPM tool consolidates everything. Whether findings come from source code scanning or container image scans, you have one source of truth.
Risk-Based Prioritization
Not all vulnerabilities are equal. A critical SQLi in your payment service matters more than a low-severity issue in an internal tool. ASPM correlates findings with asset criticality, exploit availability, and runtime exposure.
Security KPIs to Track Progress
When your CISO asks "Are we more secure than last quarter?" you need data. ASPM tracks mean time to remediate, vulnerability trends, SLA compliance, and risk scores over time.
Automated Remediation Workflows
You found 44 critical, 121 high, 455 medium issues. Now what? ASPM tools auto-create tickets, route to the right teams, enforce SLAs, and escalate when deadlines pass.
Developer Adoption
None of this matters if developers ignore the findings. ASPM tools that work show up inside the IDE, the CLI, or the pull request. Jit runs built-in scanners directly in CI and decorates PRs with inline findings. Invicti ASPM offers KDT, an open-source CLI that lets developers trigger scans and check results from the terminal. Look for tools that reduce friction rather than add another tab to check.

Market Changes
The ASPM market has seen significant consolidation and evolution:
ASOC → ASPM Evolution
Gartner renamed the category from ASOC (Application Security Orchestration and Correlation) to ASPM (Application Security Posture Management). The shift reflects increased focus on posture management, risk context, and business impact rather than just aggregation.
CodeDx → Black Duck (2024)
CodeDx was part of the Synopsys application security suite. With the Black Duck spin-off, it now operates under Black Duck Software alongside other Synopsys security tools.
ThreadFix → Coalfire
ThreadFix, one of the original vulnerability management platforms, was acquired by Coalfire. Still available and actively maintained.
Kondukto → Invicti ASPM (August 2025)
Kondukto was acquired by Invicti Security and rebranded as Invicti ASPM. The integration adds proof-based DAST scanning with 99.98% accuracy that confirms exploitability before flagging issues.
AI-Powered ASPM
Modern ASPM tools like ArmorCode, Cycode, OX Security, Apiiro, and Seemplicity use AI/ML for risk correlation, auto-remediation, and contextual analysis.
How to Choose Your ASPM Tool
Integration Breadth
How many security tools does it integrate with out of the box? DefectDojo has 200+ parsers. ArmorCode has 320+ integrations. Can it connect to your issue tracker (Jira, Azure DevOps, GitHub Issues)?
Risk Model Flexibility
Can you customize risk scoring based on your business context? Does it factor in asset criticality, exploit availability, and runtime exposure? Cycode's Risk Intelligence Graph and OX Security's VibeSec offer advanced risk correlation.
Deployment Options
Do you need on-premise, cloud, or hybrid? DefectDojo is self-hosted. Invicti ASPM offers both. Make sure the deployment model fits your compliance requirements.
Role-Based Access
Developers should see their issues. Managers see trends. Executives see KPIs. Does the tool support granular permissions and customizable dashboards for each role?
False Positive Management
Security teams waste hours triaging findings that turn out to be noise. Most ASPM tools handle this through suppression rules and deduplication. ArmorCode uses AI-based triage to auto-classify findings. DefectDojo lets you manually suppress and group duplicates. Invicti ASPM takes a different route: its proof-based scanning confirms exploitability before flagging an issue, which cuts false positives at the source rather than filtering them after the fact.
Closed-Loop Remediation
A developer pushes a fix, then what? In most ASPM setups, someone has to manually trigger a rescan and close the ticket. That delay means stale dashboards and inflated finding counts. Invicti ASPM automatically rescans after a fix and closes verified issues. Jit and Aikido Security also run auto-rescans in CI to keep findings current. Ask whether the tool closes the loop on its own or leaves that step to you.
