Outpost 24: How to Build a Continuous, Risk-Based Application Security Testing Program

Application security risks aren’t slowing down but many AppSec programs still rely on annual penetration tests designed for a much slower pace of change.

Join Outpost24's application security experts as they explore how security teams can move beyond point-in-time assessments and build a continuous, risk-based testing strategy that reduces exposure, improves prioritization, and demonstrates measurable security outcomes.

What You'll Learn

- Why annual pen tests create blind spots that can leave vulnerabilities exposed for months

- How to identify and prioritize your most critical applications based on business risk

- A practical 4-step framework to build a scalable, repeatable AppSec testing program

- How to align testing frequency and depth with application criticality and change velocity

- Best practices for continuous visibility, remediation, and verification of vulnerabilities

Key Topics Covered

- The limitations of the traditional "snapshot" testing model

- Risk-based application inventory and scoring

- Tiering applications based on exposure, business impact, and compliance requirements

- Building an AppSec program that scales with your organization

Modern applications evolve continuously through new releases, third-party integrations, API updates, and cloud-native development. The challenge isn't a lack of testing it's ensuring testing keeps pace with change and focuses on what matters most.
