Apiiro: Risk Detection at Design Phase
Apiiro presented Risk Detection at the Design Phase, a revolutionary AI-powered feature designed to examine feature requests and pinpoint potential risks, prompting security reviews or threat models at the initial stages of application development. This innovative approach, driven by Apiiro’s exclusive LLM technology, empowers AppSec professionals to preemptively address security and compliance issues at the design phase, before the actual coding commences. By focusing on areas like architecture design, data handling practices, user permissions, generative AI mechanisms, and third-party integrations, Apiiro’s solution aims to save time, minimize rework, and expedite secure software deployment.
